Seating position / wheel adjustment for tall people
Been having a tough time since I bought this car. I have long legs, and to reach the steering wheel, I need to move the seat up quite a bit. This means I'm 'racing' with legs fairly bent, and I get fatigue after a few HPDE sprints.
Are there any secret adjustments I don't know about regarding moving the wheel closer to the driver? I used to drive with leg comfort, but would lock my arms straight on long tight turns, not good either since I would tire my arms out. I could raise my seat a bit, but then my helmet won't clear the roof. ![]() EDIT: Actually, nevermind. I can't move the steering wheel fore/aft (obviously), thus all I can do is work on adjusting the seat. Wish BMW allowed fore/aft wheel adjustment...

Hopefully you can adjust now to a position that fits better!

lol maybe you should read the owners manual. Who knows what other things you’re missing out on?!

Funny that you say that, I think I know quite a bit about the inner workings of this car chassis/engine control, but I can't for the life of me figure out what some of the buttons on the dash do (yet). Priorities?
