I was going to order some bmw aluminium pedals to fit the E89, Co-incidentally I was browsing another post on here about cars for sale, and came across the below image, now I am not sure if they work with the e89 styling, opinions please!

Looks are subjective, to me they look fine.

I have had a look on YT, the oem kit comes with templates
with the drill holes.

After pulling off the rubber bits, add the template, drill and screw in the metal pedals.

Probs an hours work.

I’ll take a pic in the morning - easy to fit, just need a drill and the old adage of measure twice, cut once (or drill in this case) :)

I've been looking at something like these:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/c/9025727263?iid=323675436422

The only hard part is finding a footrest that matches. Also be wary that the accelerator pedal for DCT cars is different.

Just a simple slip on cover.

I think they look smart and really set off the cabin.

Thanks for this, yeah, they look really good.

I will order some this weekend!

The pic I posted was just a bad image, I have red seats too!

Much appreciated :)

Lots of manufacturers including BMW make a full set for LHD cars, unfortunately, not may dead pedal RHD plates :(

It would have been nice to get one for the dead pedal to make a full set but even as they are they look great.
