That pedal...Am I looking incorrectly or what?

sanchorb · 07-25-2011, 03:11 PM

Hi to everyone, I am coming from an E39 forum, which was very useful, so I hope this new (for me) forum will be as helpful. I was browsing through the image/video section, and there is a very interesting post about interior color combinations. I ran across this picture, by a guy named Jason, who has an "administrator" title. Very nice combination, but what puzzles me is that brake pedal. Am I seeing nonexistant things? Because that looks like an automatic car brake pedal, just like the one auto BMW´s have...and this one is a manual car...what gives? I hope I am not watching things that are not there, LOL...anyone sees the same thing I see?...

I see a gas pedal, brake pedal, clutch and foot rest.

This is how the 2 pedals on the automatic look like.

This is how the 3 pedals on the manual look like:

The brake pedal is BROAD only in the automatic. On the manual car, the brake and clutch pedals are THE SAME size. Compare to the original photograph and see if that looks like a BROAD or NARROW pedal.

That first photo was probably photoshopped.

BMW sucks at photoshop.

Interesting. You're right that's an automatic car brake pedal.

Bad PhotoShopping, I guess? By the way, is that the largest optional iDrive knob, or can I possibly order one that's 6 or 8 inches taller?

That car is obviouly equipped with a dual clutch transmission and those are both clutch pedals.

Hadn´t noticed that one...looks like the cap of a 70´s Thermos bottle, LOL...I wonder where was this photograph included. If it was from a BMW catalog, it is not the best work I have seen...

I actually don't have iDrive. I was in fact considering making a homemade 70s Thermos.

Audi's done the same thing photoshopping pedals and such. i've posted up about it before.
