But, I'm guessing that might be a challenge to find in the states?
I'm shorter than you but my back isn't so good so I prefer a seat that's less sofa. I didn't have this issue with the E90 M3. It's only in the M2C where I really wanted a different seat.

Other than the German version, there's actually a lot of options.

The Japanese Recaro Sportster recently had an overhaul and they have added a hand pump for the lumbar support and there's also an optional electric adjustment for the reclining

The Recaro Sportster GT is exclusive to the US market
