Lowest seats where shifter is above similar to z4

[asifallasleep]

Any seats that sit really low in a 2002 so that the shifter is above. Similar to a Z4 setup. I want my seats to be a lot lot lower.

that would require cutting out the box sections on the floor,

and then reinforcing the floor to remount your tracks-

for strength

BUT THEN your steering column/wheel may be to high

for your new seating position

..the 320 comfort seats have a significantly low stance and rake compared to 2002 perky upright seats..

I would buy a wrecked Z4, cut the front clip off both cars, as well as the rear section, and then reassemble the 02 onto the Z4 middle section. You'll then have the ideal seating position.

Followup question: How can I lower my steering column and dash? I got a Z4 setup and my shifter is now above. But now my dash and steering wheel is too high.

maybe with recaro racing seats? You're free to drill the holes for the seat mounts wherever you want, so you might get the setup you want.

and don't forget once the steeing column and dash are lowered, the hood and engine will be in the way, so they will need to be lowered too...

I think it is just easier to raise the shifter.

I think it is just easier to raise the shifter.

Judging by the inspection sticker in this truck and the front license plate on the Ford pickup on the street, I'd say this picture was taken somewhere in Virginia (hanging my head low while typing this). To complement the Rat Fink-esque shifter knob, a classic JC Whitney steering wheel knocker knob would fit right in, along with a set of Keep on Truckin' floor mats.

Since the steering column is fixed in the 2002's (you might add a couple washers to lower it though), I'd stick with more conventional methods for an improved driving stance.
