steering column too long?

[Shorty]

Thanks, that's settled my mind.
For some reason I was expecting to be able to step onto the floor rather than seat.

I'm guessing that the last time you got in a 7 you got into the passenger seat?

That must be what I'm thinking of cos I remember stepping in and the aluminium floor bowed slightly.

The base of the scuttle sits at the upright tube and angles forward ~10-15degress. So if the wheel was much further forward the controls would foul the dash.

The Adjustable column does however sit a bit further back than the standard one only amout 1CM, never realy liked the later setup felt more cramped.

I could try and measure it of my two cars tomorrow.

Sorry what do you mean by later setup?

I guess i was just very surprised at how tight it is, and I'm not exactly tall or on the larger side.

I can step into mine standing on the floor, that said my seats are pretty upright/short:
