Has anyone ever looked into somehow modifying the travel of the telescoping steering wheel? I would be much more comfortable if the wheel could be adjusted another 1 - 1.5 inches (25-38mm) toward me. Are there stops or sensors that couild be moved or modified?

Does BMW ever do anything custom to accomodate Basketball players etc. with long legs.?

 

They already have...It's the e60 Long

If that doesn't work, there's always Lamborghini...

and if the custom Lambo is out of your price range...

you can look for a '78 Honda Civic ala Lt. Hightower


Sorry, Deano. We aren't helping much, are we?!?

 

I would love a slightly longer cabin! It would give the poor slob sitting behind me the ability to take their foot out of my butt. (popping sound)

 

That's it, I'm done with you people. I'm off to buy a lambo.

 

Actually Rudy,

I have limited access to a machine shop. Do you think you could dig up BMW instructions for removing the steering wheel? If the cabling is long enough, I don't see why I couldn't get a 1/2" to 1 1/2" thick "spacer collar" made, use longer bolts ect.

What do you think?

 

I don't know if I'd be messing with that sort of stuff -- to many things to worry about as far as crashworthiness, etc.

If you feel like playing around, take a look here and see if it helps:
