No problem!
You're right, they are Recaro Sportster CS seats which have just been trimmed to BMW spec. You can even see them on the Recaro website.
I can't be exactly sure as to whether they're lower or by how much, but they definitely didn't feel low.
I did see a thread somewhere on here where someone wasn't happy with the height of his seats and actually removed some of the adjustment rails on the stock seats. I think that after doing that he was unable to adjust for tilt and sliding of the base though. I'm not sure whether it would be possible to do a similar mod with the performance seats.
If you don't require use of the rear seats, best would be to just go for some actual fixed back buckets hehe. A few people on here have done it with Recaro Pole Performance and I'm personally thinking about doing it with some Sparco Evo IIs, though probably won't be for some time.
