not being 6'4" i feel proper short in the cab, and it looks like the seat has no height adjustment is this right? And the better half is only just over 5' and cant even see ove the dash.. short of booster seats
anyone overcome this problem?

Problem is it doesnt just go up and down but arc's up towards the front so when you raise the seat you may need to move it back a bit. Just have a play until you find something confortable

Push the lever down that is also for reclining the back rest of the seat. This will allow the whole seat to go up or down!

ive considered washers or fabricating risers in mine.
came back from the beach a while ago sitting on a towl as not to get the seat wet, and liked the height , had good elbow angle too ;)

I always find that being sat really low in your car has a few advantages!!!
Firstly I dont have do duck (being 6ft3) but also when you get some nasty twat giving you road rage cos youre in an 'old shitty' BMW, then at the lights when they run up to your car and you 'pop' out its just priceless the look on their face!!!

thats cause the car is built for MEN, like a Yorkie, not for girlsnot being 6'4" i feel proper short in the cab, and it looks like the seat has no height adjustment is this right? And the better half is only just over 5' and cant even see ove the dash..
