Is there a common fix for the high fixed placement of the steering wheel on the M3?

Lift your power seat up

or get a couple of phone books and sit on it

There is a tilt setup available in Europe. From what I've heard, it doesn't make a whole lot of difference.

Just keep driving. You'll get used to it.

No worries....

it was just last weekend that i was driving it and the wheel was a bit high and i realised i must have tilted it up when i was cleaning the interior!

Jim Powel did it... I found this article that references his original install; but I can't find his original install anymore...

How many throttle bodies does your car have?

As far as I know the U.S. model was the only M3 to undergo the "lameing" process.
You have six-speed? Headlight sprayers? Floating rotors in front? Glass lenses?
Either way, im envious

Yeah, I think Jim finally pulled his page. He had it up for a long time at a different address, but my links for that have stopped working.
