      Kind of looks like you have your seat adjusted all the way up.

        you even have the airbag wheel which sits up a bit higher than the non-airbag wheel.

        i'm 6'2 and sit all the way forward and see just fine.

          Wow lots of tall individuals here... 6' 8" and have the seat all the way down and one notch from the furthest back. Only thing that would make it more comfy is an adjustable column. Oh how I want a column adjust... Only time I miss my e46.

            6'-6" here with no problems. You are either going to have to deal with it or move the seat.

            Also, I've heard that sitting too close to an airbag can do more harm than good. That may be another reason to move the seat, especially if you're fat. Of course that is just hear-say.

              We all do.

              Cant you lower your seat?

              Im 5'10" nearly to the front and max height. I see them fine. Your seat should go down a lot. Like the taller guys in here say, they manage it.

              So.. must be operator error.....;)

                + your knees should be slightly bent with the pedals full depressed

                just about nobody sits in their car properly

                but e30s can fit pretty large ppl considering how small they are

                  ... to the delight of any bystanders...

                  same thing with classic minis.
