MS3 Gas Pedal Position

[Crypt0wind]

Ok, I've had my MS3 for a month and the gas pedal placement is driving me crazy. I normally heel-toe brake all the time and loved my old Pro5's gas pedal placement. The MS3 gas pedal seems to be about a 1/2" to far back and to the right for smooth heel-toe.

Has anyone added a spacer behind their gas pedal? Is there a aftermarket pedal to move it forward 1/2". I'm looking for something to improve the feel, but not the looks.

Dealer told me MS is doing something about this and we should hear about it soon.

Can't Speak for the MS3 but I had the same situation in my 3. A set of aftermarket pedal covers helped even those puppies out and made heel-toe a breeze.

I felt like I was gonna get a cramp in my calf heel-toeing on the stock pedals :-\

if you think that's bad, wait till you drive a normal 3

it's all crappy enough that I don't even want to own/drive a normal manual 3
that's why mine is 4 speed auto (better gear ratios on the 4 speed too)

they supposedly repositioned the pedal better on the ms3 and I didn't have any trouble heal and toeing

I hear ya. With the MS3, you actually have to twist your foot and actually use heel and toe. The pedal placement in my E36 M3 is perfect. A roll of the foot is all that is required (heel not needed).
