Big Foot problems with 6MT?

GreenMeansGo · 03-23-2018, 03:23 PM

Size 12 shoe here.. Anyone else have problems with the tip of their shoe getting stuck above the clutch when shifting?

Have driven other MT cars with no issues, but the e90 seems to have been made for tiny feet!

I have a pair shoes with really long tips. I can't drive with them. Can confirm, it's stupid annoying.

I am size 13 and it hasn't been an issue in any BMW I've driven.

14/15 here depending on the shoe (feet flat like pancake

), I have some wingtips that will tap the top but I've found you just have to move your leg a little more instead of your ankle.

I normally depress the clutch with the toe box of my shoes, keeping my foot pointed, and then to release I bend at the ankle and allow the clutch pedal to slide down my towards the ball of the foot.

I do have certain shoes that I almost never wear because they suck to drive with!
