I wud appreciate if you cud give your opinion how you feel about allu pedals and footrest.
How usefull do you find them? Do they improve the interior look or you consider them for "boy racers"? Are they a bit out of place with wood trim or they still go with
Ruthenium parts in the car?
My thoughts:
1) at least less mudd wud stick to their surface compared to the standard pads.
2) ACS set compared to M5 foot rest:it is a full set and more attractive looking.
Check for ACS look:

I have been told by my bmw dealership that the gass pedal aftermarket requires drilling and the bmw gas pedal is equiped inside the pedal itself with electronicks. YOu could damage the pedal itself so the gas wont work anymore. Bmw has not a wires gas system but a electronick gas pedal.
So beware.
Bmw itselfs doesnt offer pedals at this time. But they will.

[/quote]I have not bought them. Just considering whether I shud. If needed you shud go the ACS authorised dealer nearby (usually it's a BMW garage),they will get it and install it for you.
Strange that you dealer does not do the install. I do noit think that with OEM parts(that at least they must know how to) it is different than with ACS.
