New M35i today....nice
Love the car, love the sound, but I have to figure out something for the seat. Although I am not overweight, I am wider than the German physique, and the left seat bolster hits me mid under thigh. Ideas?
I think it’ll only be a problem on long trips, which I think I can solve with memory foam. |

I have the same issue. I have made it better by adjusting the tilt, but I still have to remember to move around a bit on long drives so I don't end up with hamstring pain.

They are a blast to drive, enjoy. I am almost 2 years in and still love the car. Great color, do you have the m-sport seats or the standard ones? Tilt helps and I know I can widen my side bolsters a little
Good luck and have fun and of course stay safe |

I'm tall and have found that moving the seat forward, so my knees are slightly more bent, helps with the thigh contact. Frankly, I wish the seats did not have that sliding "support" at the front edge. That's where my issue is.
Great color choice |
