My wife, who claims to be of normal height (aka Short*rs*), finds the seat a bit low. Is there any recommended way of raising it a little?

All E30 front seats are adjustable for height, and my missus, who is only just tall enough not to be legally required to use a booster seat, has never complained about the seat height.
This is the only adjustment we ever move on the seat - she drives with it in the fully up position, and I drive in the fully down position, which also moves the seat back.

You live and learn, I looked at the seat and studied the handbook but found no way to do that, other than that the seat tilts bodily. Must try harder.

After over 2 years of owning my car I never knew you could do this. Just tried it and it worked a treat!
