: < My new 2000 z3 2.8 ownership is ruined by the miserable standard leather bucket seat. I am 5ft 7in and a muscular 175lbs. The hard front ridge hurts the bottom of my thighs and my lower back recieves little support. I am very uncomfortable driving more than a few minutes. Any ideas on modification to raise the back of the seat or a quality cushion insert etc. such a beautiful machine and I have wanted one for years............I can't believe how this discomfort has ruined the pleasure of ownership My top is driving me nuts, creaks every bump. it is right in back of my ear infact. Do the joints, the black arms, that fold the top need to be oiled. It sounds like a creaking sound. Anyone else have this darn problem? Thanks a lot for your input on this one guys. : : Joe R.
