Thanks for taking the time to chime in guys. I loved my e90 automatic so much that I bought myself a manual. Only issue is because of my large feet I'm having some issues with the top of my shoe getting caught between the clutch and dash when I release the pedal.

I'm 6'4 and have size 14.5 feet. I love a good manual but this is just ruining the experience. If there is any way to adjust the pedals or any advice on modifying the dash by the pedals I'm all ears.

I attached some pics. These aren't my regular shoes but hopefully it gives context to my situation. Only way my foot doesn't get stuck is if I hot the clutch with my foot at an angle which isn't very pleasant.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you!

How much more clearance do you think you need?

Maybe getting different floor mats (or no floor mat). Those rubbers are thicker than regular ones.

Another(more expensive) solution will be to replace the clutch pedal with the ultimate clutch pedal

The Ultimate Clutch Pedal doesn't change where its position relative to stock.

2 maybe 3 inches. I live in Canada so I'm stuck with the rubber mats sadly.

The front little bit of my shoe just keeps getting stuck between the metal rod that attaches to the pedal and the dashboard.

There is a little hump right above the pedal that you could cut off with dremel. Between the pedal hinge and the dash you also have the duct for the HVAC. You could probably cut off some of it too. All that area is underneath so it will not show, but if you cut into the dash that will show. Also you can try installing a clutch stop which will prevent the pedal from being able to be pushed in all the way. Is about 1cm but every little less movement in your case would help.

Sell .....get automatic.

Try stepping on the pedal less with the balls of your feet and more towards the toes. Change your shoes to something like Pumas; driftcat, futurecat, etc. Something that resembles the profile of a racing boot.

Do you really NEED the toes on your left foot? Chop off the piggies and there should be plenty of clearance with the custom made shoe.

I beleive u can remove the rubber pad off the clutch pedal and give u about half inch or so

Clutch stop = problem solved.

Turns out my oem clutch stop disintegrated over time so I had even more travel than intended.

I popped in the bms clutch stop and it drives like a new car.


Thank you to all!

I'm glad it helped. I brought it up in post #5. E9X didn't come with clutch stop. BMW cheapen out.

This, your shoes look like clunkers. Switch to something a little tighter like the above and you should have more room. I love my Puma Driftcat and Futurecats

Puma Future Cat are my track shoes. Would recommend.

BMS clutch stop made all the difference in my car, too. There's really no reason to have all that extra swing on the pedal.

Oh, wow, you expect someone to wear Puma Futurecat or Driftcat for every occasion and actually recommended that instead of an actual remedy for the issue. I'm stunned.

Would you make a small comment about someone distance running with Dansko Nursing Clogs? I didn't say that was the only or easiest fix, I was just pointing something out. Not sure what the hostility is about.

On a side note, I wear my Puma Driftcats 4/5 of my work days. I wear my Onitsuka Serranos on the weekends.

That's fine, but you are in AZ and OP is in ON and you probably don't have 14.5 feet. No hostility here. I have noting against the fashion police on e90post.

True, albeit my advice was more helpful than "sell and buy an automatic."

[Mr. Tasty]

I recently installed a DIY clutch stop. I was amazed that the 335i didn't come with one. Greatly improves the driving experience of the car.

Definitely! Needbmwpartzz probably doesn't know how to drive MT to begin with.

Nope...the future is fully auto

running shoes might help
