M dead pedal on a non M X5
I have not seen any thread about it so I wanted to have one out.
How many of you have swapped out the dead pedal (footrest) on a non M X5 to the one that comes on X5 M and M-Sport models. IMO The plastic deadpedal looks cheap. Moreover I have already swapped out my brake and accelerator pedal to OEM BMW aluminum pedal and those will go better with BMW aluminum M dead pedal. (Picture on the right is how my pedals look at this point.) I am going to do this mod but just wanted to see if somebody has done it already. I do see people have done it on e90 (can be seen here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...d+pedal&page=2). But the problem was that when you rip the OEM footrest off the floor you will break all 4 tabs because it was on really really really tight, and whatever broke off fell into the holes. Now you will have 4 holes in the carpet, and the underside of the new M dead pedal has only hollow tubes molded into it and no anchor, and the holes do not bite the tubes. Any suggestions will be welcomed.

Thanks man, they look pretty good on your X5. I think it compliments your white interior.

It's all about preference i would put it like that. I am enhancing my vehicle with interior stuff which only i would able to see,
So I wont compare retrofitting M parts to putting a M badge on your lid,, BIG DIFFERENCE

Going in wrong direction, my question was simple have any body tried it and if the process was same as doing it on a e90. I simply believe these minor details enhance the look of the car. I am adding OEM part and it's not cheap.
