E36 accelerator pedal
I have a 96 328i......5 speed manual......
Under the gas pedal there is a bolt sticking out of the floorboard. If I screw that bolt in tighter, might I end up with more acceleration....or am I going to be putting strain on the linkage to the fuel system? My guess is the latter and I shouldn't mess with the bolt.... But I thought I'd ask. Any thoughts? Tom Allen

Each turn will yield an extra 25 mph on the top end and the acceleration
will increase by about 1/2 second 0-60. Tighten it all of the way and your 328i will run over 175 MPH and hit 60MPH in less than 4 seconds! This is a huse secret and I can't believe you found it!

I did it on my Z3 3.0i and I won 33 mph but I had to stick the //M Badge on

Do not adjust that bolt.
