how's the pedal placement for heel and toe downshifting?

[confusion]

for those that have had the pleasure of driving the car, can anyone comment? when i test drove a 335, i didn't find the placement to be that great. for comparison, i think the placement on my m3 is nearly perfect. i'm specifically interested in both the horizontal distance between the pedals and, more importantly, how much the brake must be depressed to have both pedals be at the same distance from the floorboard (depth-wise).

here's hugo's photo from the cas for reference:

BMW has been using pretty much the exact same pedal placement for as long as I can remember. They are, in my opinion, very easy cars to heel toe in. Of the other manual cars I've driven (audi/vw, domestic, etc.) none have as intuitive a pedal placement as BMW.

Indeed, nothing to worry about with a BMW.
And it even doesn't matter if you drive a petrol or diesel engine!

My e36 has the same pedal placement that the one on the photo and it´s perfect for heel and toe

Julian, great looking e36. My '98 M3/4 was Alpine and had great pedal placement for heal/toe.

Since I've never driven a bmw, I wondered the same thing. From the photo the placement looks fine, and I love the looks of that big dead pedal. It used to really irritate me that you had to install one aftermarket on older Audis and Porsches whereas a '95 corolla has a very good one...

It's perfect...sat in the car at Detroit Auto Show.
