Lifted drivers seat 12mm

BMW_Viking · 04-19-2017, 02:55 PM

So I have this thing I like to sit high in my car, my head barely a few centimeters below the roof!

Go ahead and make yourself comfortable, too. Today I refitted my seat on top of a nut and a disc under each bolt, lifting the drivers seat permanently 12 mm. It was easy and took me 20 minutes. The seat is fitted with four bolts onto the floor. I did not take the seat out entirely, I just removed the bolts one by one and pushed the stuff between the seat and the floor.

Love it! Seat maximum adjusted in height, knee support out, a slight tilt, steering wheel lowered suitably: my dream driving position came true.

Personally I would get longer bolts to make up for the 12mm of thread you just lost.
Neato anyhow!

What is your height? (or is this strictly a preference thing?)

I'm 6'4" (193cm) and like it looooow :-)
