Seat is too high

One of the few complaints about my interior is the seating position. It’s just too high for a sporty car. I feel like I’m in a crossover. I don’t want new seats. What are options? lower seat rails?

You might have a lever to adjust that - if you do, it's one of the levers around the seat - the lever moves up and down (like a ratchet) and moves the seat up and down.

haha. Yes, I have adjusted the seat lever all the way. I’d bet the seating position is higher in the R56 than than the R52/R53.
