I think mine's 2-3 clicks up the bottom. I have to keep it a bit higher to leave room for my left leg so I can shift.

Well ever since I put the power seats in my It seams the seat is actually higher. I do have to move the steering wheel up to get out now. I would want to say two to three clicks down.

One click above the bottom. I'm a skinny guy and I like the wheel low. Hate driving like a bus driver.

I'm pretty skinny and I keep it all the way down. I sit kinda far back (just cause I have long legs, not because I drive like I'm from the 'hood') and it's very nice with the M6.
