Has anyone installed the m footrest.. I can't seem to get the original footrest off..what is holding it down ..is it just one clip on the top or is something else holding it down? Also has anyone installed the stainless steel gas pedal from bmw ,It's the full accelerator pedal assembly...do I have to disconnect the battery before installation.

Thanks
Danielle

wlkonacloud- can you let me know how you installed the M footrest? I just put mine on top of the oem plastic footrest for the mean time.
it does not sit firmly though. kinda wiggles when you step on it so i try not to step on it.

I had the 3, M Alum pedals in my 530 and had no problems installing them. The accelerator and footrest was easy, as that's just plastic that you need to drill through. The brake pedal was the pain, as you need a bit that can drill through metal.
