Since I switched to Automatics I also switched to left-foot braking. I find it to be highly efficient way to drive a two pedal car.

My question is about whether you can adjust pedal positions. Ideally I'd like to move the brake pedal about 3 inches to the left. Alternately, make the pedal 3 inches wider towards the left.

The reason being that I currently find that I have to angle my left foot about 45 degrees to the right to reach the pedal, and on a longer journey it can become annoying.

It's a W221 S class that I'd be wanting to do it on. I should have thought of it on my previous cars too but somehow didn't.

I guess I'm alone on this huh :'(

I have been doing it a long, long time with left foot braking. In the old days, US made full size cars have long brake pedal so left foot braking is comfortable. I have driven many makes since then, some are more comfortable than others, but most brake pedals are rather short these days.

The brake pedal in my 2017 E400 is the most comfortable one. My left foot is at 90 degree to it.

I have a different problem with the brake pedal on my 2017 E300. I operate both the gas pedal and brake pedal with my right foot. The problem is that the brake pedal is too close to the center console. There is barely room for my foot on the gas pedal. So, when I lift my foot off the gas pedal to apply the brakes, my foot can become entangled with the brake pedal thereby increasing the time it takes to get my foot on the brake pedal. This is potentially a very serious safety issue. Someone (hopefully not me) is going to get killed because of this. I have talked to various Mercedes people, but they seem indifferent.
