I need to have a look into this tonight as my helmet is hitting the roof and I can't get the seat to lower anymore.

I will do alik01's trick and will seat in the passenger side to see if there is any difference. If so, then it is a visit to the dealer.

That sounds like BS from the dealer. I might have to send my car to Darwin if that's the case.

I haven't checked mine out yet, may be around lunch time since I have got my car today. I sort of vaguely remember in the 135i I was never on the lowest setting for the seat, and now I am at the lowest. Will keep reporting - might give me an excuse to get a set of recaros

I'm ~182cm Steve & I fit in the 135 ok with my helmet on? Could both your seats have their limit switches, gearing (or whatever governs the min. height), set too high?

Do you mind measuring the height for me if you have it at the lowest setting and may be full forward tilt?
Many thanks!

My drivers side seat is deffinately lower than Ian's at the lowest setting.
Had both cars alongside each other. Sat in one car, then the other. No rocket science in determining that there was a difference in height. |

May be, may be not. After a while, I forgotten that my head is resting on the door frame whenever I turn. Until I remembered that it might do my neck any good if there's a rollover.

Maybe you guys should give the performance seats a go? I know there is a lower mounting setting for them... Electric seats are great but I don't think I've adjusted my seats more than 2 or 3 times.

I had a good look today and play with the settings, and it really doesn't look like the seat can physically go any lower. I remembered my 318i used to be able to set a lot lower. Yes, the magical one fist length and I can only do that with the lowest setting now. I used to need to lift the seat quite high to get that position on the 318i.
Now, with a helmet on, looks like I will have a couple of inches clearance the most. May be I do need to look into a new seat - or learn to seat less upright. Thanks everyone for their help.
