I wear chucks and on hard braking its easy. Im not used to this grounded gas pedal.

I do the heel and toe method but because its grounded to the floor i feel as if i should do the toe and roll method. Top of the gas pedal is way too far. I would like as much foot on the brakes as possible and the pedals would just make it easier.

All my other cars were so easy to do.

Maybe i should wear wider shoes?!

I also do the roll over method and I wear Puma Motorsport shoes when I'm driving (they're pretty narrow as well). I have the balls of both my big toe and second toe firmly on the brake pedal and it works just fine - even at track level braking pressures. I was looking into the same pedal but I'm just too cheap to spend on something that I could just practice at and get.

I have a friend who had a S2000 for 13 years and recently moved to a Z4M and he has trouble with the H/T shift as well even though he was a master of it in his S2K.

Just saying that it's possible with normal width feet if you spend the time getting used to the different set up... and also admitting that I'm a cheap SOB .

Yesterday I did leather cleaning and conditioning... came out great

Then today I spilled coffee on the center arm rest and passenger seat.

So to make up for getting her dirty, I'm going to install front and rear cameras next week.

She'll be upset with me in the mean time, but when the new toys are in she will forget.

It's a product called Zaino. It's absolutely INCREDIBLE.

Two bottles, one for cleaning, and one for conditioning.

My interior has always been in tip top condition, but I noticed the leather was getting a bit dry (it's 5 years old now).

I love this product because it makes the car smell brand new again, isn't greasy or shiny, and is easy to apply.

Here is a pic, although it's not very good. I'm really excited to do the front and rear camera installation. The parts have been here for weeks, just no time to put them in

Ok - back to work for me.. I shouldn't be browsing with all of this backlog

True. I'm only looking to buy just the gas pedal so shouldn't be too pricey. I am a cheap ass too! haha. maybe i can just duct tape and super glue just a little wedge sticking out but that would just be a complete disaster haha.

On hard braking i can do it just fine. And I don't feel comfortable with just my two toes on there.

just took my coworkers to lunch and for a quick joyride. girl coworker couldn't tell the difference between the ///M and the 328i F30. She just said wait its a black bmw. So while she was leaning forward in the back seat, I put it in MDM and floored it and gave her whiplash HAHA.

So in a period of 3 days late last week:
- Car went in for a service - Engine and brake oil changed / Oil and air filter changed / OBD security fix applied
- swapped out 219Ms in favour of 260M
- changed from PS2s to PSS'
- tyre fitter destroyed one of my OEM BMW lock nuts and locking key (due to prior fitter who went to town with tightening one of the lock nuts), have gone aftermarket which may not be a bad thing given BMW only have 14 or so standard lock nut keys
- F10 M5 gear knob installed
- Got a small white Nurburgring sticker (after some time on The Ring of course!)

I'm helping the drought here in Austin, TX by getting my M3 detailed. It hasn't rained here in like four years (I kid... but then again... it's practically true). I scheduled this detail appointment 5 weeks ago (he's THAT booked), so of course it's raining today. YOU'RE WELCOME AUSTIN.

But - it's all good. This guy is supposedly amazing, and it's more of an on-off drizzle. He's not sweating it, and he says my car will look "Brand Newer" (actual quote) when he's done with it. Can't wait to see it!!

Got my car coded today from Mike as well. He does a great job!
Just make sure you turn your headlights off during the process.....otherwise your battery may die (obviously - well not too obvious for me).
