If it were the matching M aftermarket like the other ones, it would already be installed

You might want to PM Anzafin - he posted a DIY not too long ago about replacing the dead pedal with only hand tools, looked great too

Good luck

I saw the DIY, and asked Anzafin some questions regarding the project in the thread. His method is what I'm basing my project off of. He used a hand dremel to cut the plastic, and I can't think of a better way to do it!

Looks like a pain in the ass, but the OEM footrest is sooooo clean

Thanks for the advice.

My Ride: See my signature

The car is going to look amazing with 128s. So rare to see them on our E60s.

And I agree with the others that the Mystic Blue exterior is really nice. I love rare colors.

So do I Scott, and when (hopefully) I get my M5 it will be in an M5 exclusive color - either Interlagos Blue or Indy Red, I love both of those (just need to find a black interior)
