Hey, fellow freak. You've got me beat on shoe size (I'm a 14-15 depending on brand), but I am the same 6'8". I can't say the pedal box has ever bothered me that much in the E53, but it certainly does in the E30. I have to drive that bare foot usually.

No kidding on the B pillar blind spot X5chemist.
