Hi all,

New to the forum but I have been reading it on and off.
I got a few months ago a new BMW X3 and it has a "design feature" which really bothers me on longer drives. I do use cruise control as much as possible however this is still an issue for me.

The accelerator hinged pedal sits way lower than the brake and no matter how I set my seat this seems to create pain in my lower foot because I have to lift my foot quite a bit to hit the break. Had BMW's and other cars before but it never felt this bad.

Are there any risers I could use (please not something ugly as the ones that short people have to use) or do I have to DIY something here?

thanks all for responses. I've counter two on the actual subject and the rest seem to go into a separate topic of what is the best way to drive in traffic. A point well made was to talk to BMW and tell them about the issue, maybe they can adjust the break pedal

will come back with feedback once I tried a few avenues.
