The day after installing a full set of BMW pedals a P-car initiated a game of cat and mouse on my drive home after work. I floored the throttle pedal and lo and behold it stayed flat against the stop and did not come up! Fortunately I have a MN6 so I feathered the clutch and ambled over to the side of the road, with the engine making a racket at WOT and the smell of burnt clutch wafting from my new 135. That damn burnt clutch smell stayed with the car for 2 days.

BTW at first I thought a protruding screw from the new pedal had dug into the stop, but after inspecting it it did not seem to be the case and it has not happened since (might have been the floor mat that somehow wedged the pedal down).
