Heel Toe almost impossible?
Is the heel to toe(regular driving conditions) almost impossible on the M3? The brake pedal just seems so much higher in relative to the gas pedal. I did perfect heel to toes on my G35 Coupe but almost never manage to get it right on the M.
Anyone have any helpful suggestions? Not heel and toeing just makes driving not feel right... |

It doesnt work out too well because I step on the brake pretty hard sometimes to do that. To the OP, you should def check this site out. http://www.ultimatepedals.com |

Seems alright. I have to use the ball of my foot to brake and use the side of my foot to blip the throttle, works well for me

just roll your foot. It has become a habit for me whenever i downshift no matter how pansy im driving. Even in very pedestrian mellow corners, where there is not much brake action needed, i rev match. It also makes a difference depending on your shoes. If you have small feet and wear narrow shoes it may be a bit more difficult... |

Yeah. It sucks because it takes time to get used to which shouldn't be the case. The Evo IX had perfect pedal placement. It was a dream to drive it to the supermarket and at the racetrack.

Just roll your foot. I have trouble in other cars because I'm not used to a normal pedal.

My arms are too straight if I set the seat at the right distance so I can actually heel/toe. But I'm over 6'4. I can "roll" my foot as cowmoo says if I have the right shoes on.

I think it's easier in the M than it was in my 911. Pedal placement seams great.

I need some practice at this. I haven't done it much but usually when I try I step on the brake too hard. I probably need to just play around a little more to get the feel for it.

+1. Works perfectly for me just rolling the side of the foot onto the gas while braking. Seems almost identical to the E46.
