Raising the front of the seats will improve the leg room for the driver. Passenger is fine without. I would also use the space under the driver's seat for documents like the owner's manual, registration,and necessary legal papers in a water proof bag as there just isn't much space anywhere else for that stuff!
I'm new here and will buy soon my M3W, and reading your comments, a couple of questions pop-up:
1 - How do you rise the front of the seat? You need to place a spacer (as a wood block I just read) underneath?
2 - If you place your documents underneath - nice idea to hide them there - what happens if you have (I will) heated seats?
Thanks
