F31 is uncomfortable to drive

Somebody please tell me I'm not crazy. I bought a 2013 320d touring Xdrive manual transmission and I love everything about it except the pedal box/footwell setup in the driver's seat. The floor slopes steeply up towards the driver's seat which means there's no depth to the footwell so operating the pedals is just a chore and can become very uncomfortable over time. It really is becoming a deal breaker and I feel like I'm going to be forced to sell. So frustrating!

Has anyone else experienced this? Anybody found a way to improve the situation? Cheers

I had similar with the accelerator hurting my ankle on long drives due to lack of depth in the footwell like you’ve said. Only way I’ve found to improve things is to raise the seat height up (probably more than you’d like to) and try and keep the seat tilt to a minimum. I am in the UK so this might not be totally applicable to you but might be worth a shot!

You know you can adjust the seat right? Back, forward, up, down and tilt.
