Does seat height adjust in MR?

Does the MR driver's seat have a height adjuster unlike in the GSR?

No. The only difference in the seats is that the MR's are leather-trimmed.

:-(

The inability to adjust seat height makes driving not as comfortable.

Does anyone else experience this?

I have a speed3 and considering the MR or sti.

First, beautiful car! makes me want to jump in a drive it.

As an aside, how much more expensive does a bmw 335i cost to maintain vs an Evo X MR or Sti??

Thanks

BTW, which mods do you have and which one made the most difference?

hey Richard.

the 335I is a nice car only down side is the price. and the maintenance is somewhere around 200 bucks a month , To be honest on the Evo all i have done is put gas and change the oil.. LOL

the STI looks like a shoe! a $38K shoe! ( let me put my Flame suit on )


also the STI are having all this engine issues ...... i dont know
i dont hate not dislike subarus , had a WRX and a Legacy GT limited and both were nice cars.

if your talking about after the warranty runs out, bmw's are very expensive to maintain

The bimmers are too rich for me. I would love to get the 335i or better a 135 or the best, M3.

The engine problems of the sti's involve a small numbers produced during a certain time; at least that's what I understand.

The Evo is a nice looking car! I didn't like the loud engine noise, especially when the pedal is pushed a bit. The engine was definitely louder than any Subie or ms3. This was based on my test drives and on the GSR. Also, the seat can't be raised or lowered

I just have a folded blanket on my seat, and it pushes me up just enough. But I only use it if I'm going to be driving for awhile and want to be more comfortable. I'm thinking about making an actual contoured seat cushion for it.

Otherwise, there's ZERO adjustment, which I think is crazy.
