I HAVE A 2010 BMW 328I. THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE GAS PEDAL ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. WHEN ENGAGING THE BRAKE, MY FOOT COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE ACCELERATOR AND I AM AFRAID THAT THIS MAY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAVE HAD OTHER BMW'S AND HAVE NOT HAD THIS ISSUE. I ALSO HAVE A 2009 ESCALADE AND THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR
