Pedals position
Am I the only one who is annoyed with the position of the pedals? I see that because of that huge center console they are moved quite far to the left, especially the brake pedal.
This gives me massive discomfort on long journeys – anyone else is experiencing that?

No, compared to most cars I have driven, I find the pedal position rather well centered. If you look at older BMWs and Porsches, they are usually a lot more offset to either side, or the steering wheel is.
The pedal spacing is also very well suited to heel/toe downshifting while braking. |

I really like the bolster on the side of the side console to lean the leg on. Combined with a pretty good cruise control and dead pedal, I can really relax my legs when driving long trips.

I had a lot of trouble finding room for my foot on the clutch pedal (RHD) when I first got it. Kept stamping on the footrest instead. Very cramped compared to other cars I've had but I've got used to it now. Nothing seemed off-centre, just not a lot of room for my feet!

I guess the pedal position is probably different between LHD and RHD. I only figure that because I remember reading something about the dead pedal on the LHD cars being bigger and their being more space in the LH footwell.
I find that the pedals are off centre but not so much that I feel awkwardly skewed in the seat. It's not perfect but certainly no discomfort. I drove an A5 once and the clutch was dead centre of the steering. Now THAT was bad.

I have found the pedals perfectly placed for heel n toe, love it. But mine is LHD. I wonder for you RHD'ers BMW has to place not only the pedals but the whole thing in the wrong place (JD)

What side do people drive on on the Internet?
Love my RHD's pedal placement. Supremely comfy up to 14 hours at a time.
