How to Adjust the BMW Steering Wheel Height?

After getting in the car, turn sideways and look inside the left side of the steering wheel to locate the adjustment button. This button can be pressed in all directions (left, right, up, down). After pressing, the steering wheel can be moved to adjust its position and height.

I've been driving a BMW for several years, and the steering wheel height adjustment is really convenient. In my car, there's a small adjustment lever under the steering column. Just pull it to unlock the steering wheel, then move it up or down to the desired height until you hear a click, indicating it's locked. This affects driving comfort—if it's too high, your arms can't extend properly, leading to fatigue; if it's too low, it might block your view. After adjustment, long drives won't strain your back. Key points: BMW's design allows fine-tuning, and pairing it with the seat memory function makes it even easier. If the position isn’t right, it can also affect the airbag protection angle, so it's recommended to test the steering feel after locking. If it gets stiff over time, I just check for dust or add some lubricant. Don’t underestimate this setting—it personalizes every drive.
