1) bolt a block of 2x4 to the brake pedal.

2) No.

I'm going to suggest that all your heel-toe ills can be cured by adjusting your driving style. Do your blips earlier in the braking zone, in fact as soon as you start braking you should be blipping and downshifting on the MZ4.

As to the OP's question, look at the Toyota unintended acceleration issues. Almost all modern BMWs with electronic drive-by-wire throttle will disengage the gas pedal commands when the brakes are fully engaged. Disclaimer: I haven't tried this, but in theory when you are standing still with the brakes pressed the accelerator will only allow you to rev up to ~2,000 RPM.

However I have not found this to interfer with heel-toe at all, even with California Speedway requiring a 2 gear downshift (3 if I feel frisky) and a 120+ down to ~45 mph scrub. IF I'm not mistaken, and I rarely am mistaken, the throttle overide only comes on when the brake pedal is pushed past a certain point, like when you're trying to punch the brakes through the floor in a panic when the car is accelerating out of control.
