This is a very tight area to get to (push your driver's seat all the way and possibly bribe your small buddy with a six pack of beer), but it can be done and really doesn't take all that long. Just remember to check that your brake lights still work once you have adjusted the pedal. I had to adjust the brake check switch a little after I was done.
E30's are normally very east to heel/toe downshift, so it was frustrating not be able to do this (my brake pedal simply would not depress downward enough to also reach the accelerator). Adjusting my brake pedal with the rod attached to the booster did the trick!

It's pretty easy to pull off without a ton of knee movement, and with some practice should become pretty natural.
