I roll to blip the throttle on downshifts of both my Japanese SUV and my 128i vert. The bimmer is significantly easier because the pedals are closer together. I have noticed that the brake position on a hard stop is lower, however, but the blip of the throttle needs to be greater since I am trying to carry more rpm if I am braking that hard. I am not good at it at the track but I can do it. I need more practice. I suppose it depends some on how wide your feet (and shoe) are. I wear an 11D but I've noticed some of my shoes are wider than others.
