Not feeling the bimmian grills, looks like plastic cages to me.
<3 the idrive knob
Change ur gas pedals and stuff too then it'll match, looks odd right now.
Wood inlay looks classy.

Post a picture of the grills from further away -- hard to see how it all ties together from up close.

How hard was it to install the M5 dead pedal? It looks great, but I remeber reading previous that it was a bitch to install.

The grills are a bit dirty but they keep the crap out of the nose of the car and to me look better than the pitted OEM plastic that was there before

The M dead pedal with the regular black pedals is exactly how my 06 M3 was OEM (less clutch pedal of course)

Got the idrive knob from Garry at BMW Newport.

Here is the whole nose of the car, it's hard to see the details of the grill but that is part of why I like them. They fade into the background.



The dead pedal install was a total PIA. Almost sent it back. The original is glued to the carpet with the strongest god damn shit known to man!!!!

I had to cut the original one to pieces using a dremel and a cutting wheel, then use a razor blade to cut the carpet away from the pedal pieces. And you have to remove the old one to install the M pedal. Fitting it on top won't work. Now I know why all other pedal sets give you a plate that goes over the existing dead pedal.
