i must be too tall

[ldsbeaker]

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

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

same thing with classic minis.

[Nic01101011]

with your shoulders flat against the seat, your wrist should sit on the top of the steering wheel.

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

just about nobody sits in their car properly

[txtorquemade]

I do too

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.....;)

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.

[Schnitzer318is]

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.

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.

[JasonC]

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

[JamesE30]

be shorter.

Im 6.2 and sit all the way forward and have no probs.

I like being close to the wheel!

Glad it worked, like I said I didn't know that for the longest time either. I looked at the picture a few times and always wondered why they had instructions on the seat back recline handle but I actually raise the seat up unless I am going to be on the freeway for a long trip, feels like I am in better control and gives me better leverage on my stiff ass clutch, I'm only 5'8" so it helps.

[Patches]

Is your seat on the up or down position? I didn't know you can raise or lower the entire seat for almost a whole year.

Well now thanks to you, i can now see everything perfect.
The first time adjusted my seat to how i like, when i pushed the lever down, i couldnt get it to anything, but i figured it out now. So thank you and everyone else.

I am a happy driver.

[e34john]

Maybe your neck is too long. My dad is over 6' and on short drives he uses my seat settings with no problems. Is your seat on the up or down position? I didn't know you can raise or lower the entire seat for almost a whole year.

i wish i had the steering wheel leveler :(

I do too

[Patches]

Stop sitting so close then..

I cant, I just sit how its comfortable for me

[transatlantic0207]
