No offense, but do you also drive barefoot? If not, what makes you better
then your passengers?
Wanna share with us what the driving school instructors tell you when you
ask them to remove their shoes? Ever been to a driving school?

Nope, sorry.
You did not let a friend into your car because his shoes were dirty? To win
a concourse?
Was getting the trophy worth loosing a friend?

Folks, these are just cars. Nice, great handling, sometimes expensive CARS. 
Not objects of warship or undue reverence. 
Definitely not something that warrants complicating your life or the life of
your loved ones. 
If some of you are so anal about your bimmers, I would absolutely hate to
see what will happen to you once you move up to a P-car or a Ferrari.
Please maintain your sanity. 
It's just a car. 

sorry for the WOB,
alex f

P.S.: I drive, autoX, attend driving schools, eat and when necessary nap in
my cars. From POS college VW to E36 M3 and everything in between.
