Does this happen to anyone else on here with a 335i coupe???

RMA · 07-29-2008, 08:46 AM

This usually happens when I am wearing my gym sneakers. As I disengage on the clutch pedal the tip of my sneaker gets somewhat caught on something that feels like a shelf??? It feels as if there is very little room for your left foot when using the clutch pedal. I do wear a size 12 and am 6ft 3in (but I am no sasquach by any means)

didn't anybody tell you, you shouldnt wear shoes 2 size larger than your feet?

kidding... that has never happened to me !!! hmmm..

JeffL · 07-29-2008, 09:11 AM

me neither. and I think I do qualify as a sasquatch (6'8" 275lbs.) wearing a size 13. Although sometimes when on the brakes my foot will hit the gas pedal was well.

Same thing here with the rubber all weather mats too.

I scored a set of cheap driving mocs, and it makes footwork more pleasant.

It feels like a shelf or something that lays above or in front of the clutch pedal??? Maybe something was not removed during PDI or something??? My foot just gets caught when "releasing the clutch pedal...wierd. When I bring it in for my first 1200 mile service (I know it is way early) I will have them take a look under there I guess.

Are you using the top tip of your shoe or your whole shoe? I only use the tip. Never had it happen.

Majikthese42 · 07-29-2008, 10:55 AM

The pedals seem a little tightly spaced to me -- I suppose the better to heel-and-to with.

Size 13s, I have a pair of Puma Speed Cats I wear for long drives and I'm looking for a pair of slip-on driving mocs.

Why don't you grab a flashlight and have a look?

It 's your sachsquash feet !!

tintivilus · 07-29-2008, 11:54 AM

Totally depends on the shoes, and I also have size 13 sasquatch feet

I have one pair of shoes that I almost never wear anymore because the toe gets hooked under the dash. Most of my shoes are just fine, though.

328skidpad · 07-29-2008, 11:55 AM

Had the same problem with size 9 shoes. Realized that it was the carpet curling up under the pedal acting like a spring against the pedal.

Went to the dealer last week and they gave me the carpet velcro tabs that prevents the carpet from slipping. No problems now.

Same problem as you--yes
Same solution-not sure

FYI the carpet velcro tabs were free

It happens to me also in my E90, if I wear sneaker or shoes with too much tread on them. I also wear size 12 but im 5' 11".

I usally wear my Adidas Goodyear Race FS Animal shoes
