Schnitzer Rest--thanks Alpina !!!!!
Congrats Dave--if anyone could find it--you would.
Back in the 60.s when Burkard Bovensiepen was starting to produce the Alpina goodies for BMW cars, he made a footrest for his Left foot which always had an ankle problem.The foot rest was cut from a steel sheet with raised pattens to give a grip, similar to our Uk Admiralty plate used on ships,and BB thought that there must be other drivers who may have the same problems.So this rest became a standard fitting when producing the complete cars in 1977, which I found in my LHD Alpina B 7 in 1981.
The left clutch foot is in a upright position most of the time, and is unsupported --with the rest fitted it feels comfortable and very quick to clutch in---
Schnitzer many years later added their version to their range of goodies--- at a price.safetyfast
