Bimmerworld Pedal Set

Thoughts on this?


https://www.bimmerworld.com/BimmerWo...nsmission.html

I struggle to heel toe downshift in the M whereas in my other vehicles it is much easier. These pedal covers add extra width on the gas to allow easier rolling of the foot (not so much heel) for throttle blips.

Any experience or other recommendations?

Looks like a solid set, shame it doesn't come with a matching dead pedal cover, though.

Should help with the ball rolling method, and would allow you to keep your foot centered a bit more on the brake, possibly.

I've been considering these Rennline pedals for a while now, since they have extensions at the top and bottom. When I'm street driving I use the ball rolling method 95% of the time, but at the track that method usually doesn't give me the ability to brake aggressively enough, so I end up reverting to an actual heel-toe.

Those are awesome looking; I love the metal nubs that stick up for shoe traction!

Thanks for the input, I have an inquiry out to Bimmerworld to see if any of their existing dead pedals is a close fit (no platform specific to be found).

Running coco mats which have a beefy heel pad in place already! dbarton62 How has your experience been with the pedal haus set?

Good quality I would say.
They have been on the car now for 3 summers and just now showing some wear on the black painted surfaces.
If I was to do it again I would go with the plain aluminum set.
When I get too much OCD of the paint wearing I will glass bead them to bare Aluminum.

Like ND2 said the nubs give good grip for your shoe soles.

I had the rennline pedals on my previous coupe, heel toe was almost too easy lol. FWIW their dead pedal will not work for the Z4 despite what they advertise.
