I am considering putting aluminum pedal covers along with the dead pedal cover. My interior is ALL black. Think it would look good or not? Anyone have any pics in an E60?

Seriously, here is a picture showing the AC Schnitzer pedals:

It might look OK, the reason is you have the wood trim and it might clash with the interior. On the other hand if you have that silver or metal look inside the car then it would look great.

The picture that BMW535d posted as you can see has that aluminum finish

The idrive knob, ebrake handle and gear shift knob are aluminum color. Is that enough? I think it is. Maybe an aluminum piece can be added to the steering wheel.

On the outside, the rims are silver and the car is black. That looks fine so inside should look fine too.

What I would do is change the e-brake and gear shift knob to wood, add the center and rear wood pieces, paint the idrive knob black(maybe) and leave the pedals alone. Maybe change the dead pedal to black if it's out there. My .02.

Do whatever you like, it's your car.

Thanks for all your opinions and especially the pic. That helped. I will wait to see one in person before making a final decision. (I did get black coco mats with grey dots...just for the winter to keep the originals clean) I'll post those pics when I receive them.
