Nope, from AliExpress Aluminium BMW pedals for about $35. They fit over the pedals. No drilling required like the BMW OEM ones. Here's a thread about them https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...1226964&page=2

No, still looks new in rainy Seattle. I was actually pleasantly surprised with their quality given the source and price.

It appears that Nutmeg and Sonoma are the least purchased interiors.

Ambient temp sensor. It's a thermometer that aids in regulating the HVAC.

Start button is from IND, the M1 &M2 and steering wrap are from aliexpress.

Start button less than 15 min to install, need to pull the trim off. Is very easy task. Just needs to be brave! The M1&M2 I try to pull them out, it won’t work. So I remove the air bag, center trim and shift paddle to install them, since I doing the wrap I need to take them off anyway. Total time is about 2 hours including to wrap the steering. I don’t have to remove the steering! Just the buttons installation, I will say less than 15 min!

The quick way is to use something like a glue puddle attach to the button and pull it out quick. This way may break the taps. And not always work but I also see many did this without any problem! The long way which is the correct way is to remove the trim and disconnect the button unit. This takes about 15 min to do. Is actually very easy!

Thank you. I was not familiar with the first option but I am a stickler for doing things by the book; even if it is the "long way".

I've heard using a magic eraser does wonders on a leather wheel. It cleans it up and restores the mate finish.

Hmm. I think it's kinda abrasive. I will try a small spot on a old steering wheel. Hopefully it's doesn't affect the dye.

^^ Bad idea.

Magic eraser is indeed an abrasive and all you will do with that is remove the polyurethane top coat from the leather, making the situation worse.
