Its all down but I still feel like in a tractor

Regards

I think you'd have to replace the seat with something thinner/lower-profile. Perhaps normal 3-series seats? It could be me but I feel as the I sit lower in the 335i than the M3. But that could also be due to the fact that they are different body styles.

i'm totally the opposite. i feel much lower in the m3 than in my old 335i. i think that is because the m3 doesn't have a sunroof.

Also keep in mind too that I have a E93 which has the Euro seat bottoms. They are thicker than the US-spec E90/E92 M3 seat bottoms which are identical to those in the regular 3 series. Of course its not clear that this actually effects the height of the seating surface, its just a theory.

Also, I am assuming that although you are in Germany, you have a US spec car. If that's wrong, then scratch everything I just said.

Same here...I have the seat as low as it will go - but it still feels as if I'm sitting up pretty high...much higher feeling than my 535. I wonder if seat tracks (where they bolt to the floor) have any adjustment - probably not though.

I feel like I sit low in my ///M3..........just the way that I like it.

Could it be guys that its not the seat but the whole car that has you thrown off? The 335i DOES sit lower than the M3 (been discussed a bunch on hear) so maybe its the actual car sitting lower that might be contributing to the feeling of sitting lower in the 335i?

Cheers,
