Stainless Steel Pedals
Looking for feedback from anyone who has them. Looks like they would be nice with the stainless dead pedal the car comes with. I don't spend a lot of time looking at my pedals, though.
They're $290 on the configurator if I order them on the car, $165 if I buy them from the BMW accessories site. Anyone know if they're the same? For those of you who have them: Installation difficulty, or just remove the rubber pedal covers and slip the new ones on? Do you like them, or do you not even notice them anymore? On one hand, they could be considered frivolous bling, but then again, why not! |

I have them and like them, but they came on the car that I bought off a lot. I don’t think I’d order them. What interior trim and seats are you getting? I have the black leather and silver aluminum trim, and the pedals look good with the trim since they both have the silver accent. However, I would have preferred a different trim.

It is a bitch to install; I broke like 3 titanium drill bits trying to penetrate the clutch and brake pedals, the gas was plastic, so that was pretty easy.. If I had to do it again, I would pay the dealer the extra money to install that one particular mod at the port.. |

got the ebay ones for $35 aud ($20ish USD) delivered. No complaints and much easier an installation than the genuine ones. These are some of my pet peeves about BMW; having to irreversibly modify your car just to have some pedals fitted on? They need to relook at their m performance design team. I got the genuine CF mirror caps and gosh they made the installation so complicated with bolts, washers and screws I decided to just leave my aftermarket wing ones be until they discolour.

I have the genuine ones.
Drilling was a PITA but I am completely satisfied. Seeing the Amazon ones now I am kinda wishing I had went that route and save the $$!!! |

I have the no-drill slip on ones from Amazon. They fit like a glove, have no concerns about them ever coming off, and is completely reversible. There are some accessories where OEM vs. knock off makes a big difference (e.g. carbon fiber trim) but the SS pedals are not one of them. Don't waste your money/effort with the drilled ones.

Yup I have the Amazon ones too. I live in the Northeast and drive my car through the winter. I also track a lot of mud, sand, salt and grit in with construction boots. I've had these for 3 years and they are still holding up very well.

Ordered mine with the car (which is still en route).
Any feedback on how the clutch pedal feel is with them? I was a bit worried they would be too slippy, but there seems to be a good chuck of protruding rubber on them. |

Am I the only one who doesn't care what the gas pedal looks like? It's not like I can see it; it spends the majority of it's time under the sole of my shoe!

Yea, I really can't poke any holes in your position. That's part of my internal debate. I probably wouldn't mod an existing car to add them, but since it's going to be brand new, I'll probably pull the trigger on either fitting the BMW accessory pedals or saving $ and potential headache with the aftermarket.
