I hardly ever attempt HT shifting in the coupe because of the pedals, but the BMW is a different story -- it's almost as if the pedals were made for it. They are close together and at a perfect relative height to allow flawless heel-toe shifting.

Re: Heel Toe Braking (How to & Video)
Experimented a little on the way home once I got off the interstate. Couldn't make it work. When I put my foot on the gas, it is far enough below the brake that my foot is actually underneath the brake pedal (not directly underneath, but you get the idea). When braking hard, I can just barely fit the very edges of my shoe soles (Adidas size 11s) on both pedals, but my foot is twisted as such an angle that there is no way I could be controlling either pedal with enough confidence to do it when trying to worry about keeping my car where I want it.

Re: Heel Toe Braking (How to & Video)
On my '85 I put on aluminum pedal covers on. I took the factory rubber ones off (Brake/Clutch) and left the plastic alone for the gas pedal. Then found where all three pedal covers fit the best for heel toe and riveted on all three pedal covers.
In the '95 I can heel toe pretty good, but the pedal geometry is defiantly not designed for it. I do know several drivers who have smaller feet who will do "heel toe" meaning that their foot is side ways across the pedals, this is usually in older cars that have not yet been fitted with better pedals.
