Heel and toe

[inTgr8r]

I got THESE

These are for E46. Isn't the shape of the dead pedal different than the Z4?

LOL.. Don't buy them from Bimmian.

Thanks! I knew about these but wasn't sure if theey fit Z4s.

Oooh I like those..

They work great too.

Since the old rubber is removed from the clutch & brake
AND the gas is installed on TOP of the existing....

Brake pedal effectively moves back & gas moves forward.
It's a subtle difference but, I noticed heal & toe was a little easier.

They also have special gas pedals with side flanges....
if you like the pedals closer together.

Try driving on those aluminum pedals on a wet day. Have fun.

The reason why this car is harder to heel-toe on isn't the pedal placement. It's virtually identical to every other manual BMW I've ever driven. The problem is the pad compound and brakes are from the CSL/Competition package but on a lighter car, so you don't need much pedal pressure to haul the car down from speed. That's another reason why it's easier to heel-toe when pushing the car, because you'll be pressing down harder on the slow pedal thus making it easier to roll the foot over to heel-toe.

Unfortunately for me, I've had way too many ankle sprains to be able to move my foot freely like I used to in my teens. What I do for heel-toe now, is I place the ball of my foot underneath the big toe on the right hand side of the brake pedal, brake, then rock my leg from left to right to rotate the right edge of my foot toward the gas pedal. The only thing I find different with the MZ4, is that you need to hold the gas pedal for a split second longer than the mechanical throttled BMWs of the past (My E46 323Ci, my Z3 1.9L, and my E30 318is are all mechanical throttled BMWs. Although the E46 is a partial mechanical throttle). The electronic throttle seems to have a weird delay. Much easier to hee-toe on the street with sport mode on, but I've learned to adapt.

I don't call what I do 'heel-toe' because it has nothing to do with my heel. However, I can modulate the throttle under threshold braking by using the left half of the ball of my foot on the brake and then rolling the right side ball of my foot onto the throttle.

With the sport button on, all it takes is a tap on the throttle to bring the R's up to where they need to be. Sport button off requires a more deliberate stab at the throttle.

Umm - the Z4MC is heavier than the CSL dude!
