Heel n Toe issues

jlombar5 · 05-07-2015, 01:57 PM

For the guys out there that track or even just drive on public roads in a "fun" manner do you have issues with Heel toeing in your 335i?

If you have solutions please let me know. For some reason I just cant nail it.

thanks in advance

i did it a lot in my E90 330i, a co-worker's E82 135i and my old NA8C Miata. For me, the large ball of my foot would be on the brake pedal and the outer edge of my right foot all the way to my heel would blip the throttle. i'll take a pic later of my shoes with the worn right side...

ya I mean I know how to heel toe. But for some reason on my 335 the gas pedal seems to close to the floor to reach ion a comfortable way

If that's the case have a aluminum extender piece made and just screw it into the existing pedal.

I've always found that in the e9x series it's easier to heel-"toe" using the ball of your foot and the outer edge to blip rather than actually using the heel. If you're really braking the gas should be close enough that way with average width shoes.
