I'm wondering if BMW sells OEM or M Tech aluminum sport pedals for our E60s?

Try Bimmian.com. I got a set of brushed aluminum pedals with the dead pedal from there. I just did a few mods so I'll have some pics up soon. Take a look on their site, they have a few different styles.

I've seen those and they're among one of my choices. I really want the ACS pedals but I can't justify spending that much for them. I'm also looking at the RDSport pedals too...about $360 for pedals and foot rest.

I hope they turn out okay because they are not authentic ACS pedals, just generic ones with the ACS sticker them.

Other than the the size, what could go wrong? The seller has great feedback, and I have bought from him before. I will post when I get them. Now you have me worried, if there no good I will send them back...

The ones from eBay are replicas but they actually engrave the ACS logo on there, it's not a sticker. I was looking at them also but I heard the dead pedal is not the same size as the original so it'll look a bit off when you mount it.

What do you guys think of these RD pedals?

No comment on the RDSport pedals? Does that mean no one likes them? haha

I was also thinking of going through www.ultimatepedals.com and have them do custom engraving on the pedals. Can anyone suggest what I should engrave? Maybe just the words "BMW"?

I like the pedals (if they fit like OEM). Engrave BMW, as you suggest. Do you think BMW might send you a check for engraving their moniker on your pedals? I hear Tiger Woods get tens of millions from Nike.....
