Anyway I like to have the wheel as low as possible which restricts the view of the top of the speedo so have to compromise on that. I also like to sit closer to the steering wheel than my long legs will allow.
Im in the exact same boat as you...I sure do miss the Heads Up display on the M6

The OP has an E90, in which the "H-point" is higher than in the E92, and I believe so is the seat height (on either extreme adjustment) relative to the steering wheel position. No matter what you do, it's going to be a compromise.

You cannot expect to have a perfect fit unfortunately. Some folks have a long torso and long legs, and short arms, some have long torsos, short legs, long arms, etc., and there just isn't enough telescoping/tiliting, fore/aft tracking and seat heigh and angle adjustment to make it perfect for everyone, but you sure do get close for most.

Nice response! Its gotta be this because I wouldn't have started a thread if I had not double and triple checked my seat/steering wheel adjustment. Thanks
