Z4M Seat Memory Drifting

Patrick Gent · 04-30-2017, 07:14 AM

I am tall and wide, so I have an "all the way back" position saved on one of the buttons of my seat memory to make it easier to get in and out. Over time, it starts going farther and farther back until I hear the seat leather creaking against the bulkhead. Then I have to move it forward a little and resave the position.

Anyone else experience this? Thanks.

No but out of curiosity how tall are you ? I'm 6'3" so I set mine all the way back even until you can't go any further then pretty much all the way down . Also either drive bare foot or with tight fitting shoes / no tennises /not enough room to shift otherwise

As far as being wide I'm about 250lbs but I still fit lol

I am 6', 270. But I come from Autocross, where I learned to drive real close to the wheel. I am fine and quite comfortable once in the car, just a maneuver to get in. I move the set forward after my feet are in the footwell. I have less trouble getting that second leg in past the front edge of the door opening if the door is all the way open and the seat all the way back.
