I want to grab a set of the M Performance Stainless Pedals to complete the look, but at $100+ it seems a bit steep for something so simple.

Has anyone seen or purchased these for their car? If so, can you comment on the quality, etc?

I know they are probably cheap, but the reviews say they are ok, and realistically they are going to get destroyed in the winter regardless.

$23.77?

You don't want to put that in your BMW.

I know haha but its such a trivial location and use case that it may not be so bad. Obviously not skipping out on other things (just dropped 1k on the carbon interior), but if the thing looks good in person, it's functionality won't change because of the price right?

I guess the flip side of my first thought is that they are only $23.77, so why not?

Go for it, then post a review!

Ha I know right, I probably will just for the hell of it.

OEM Stainless pedals are totally worth the money. Tricky job but doable for most competant folks. Have done two sets in the last four months.

Yeah ive done them before not about the install more about the price

I had them installed as an option when I ordered my car so I've never driven without them. Quality seems fine. I drive the automatic so not sure if they make heal/toe any easier. For me the cost was rolled into a MUCH bigger amount so I didn't really notice it.

Yeah I was just browsing Amazon and saw these for $23 and figured I'd see if anyone else got them. Its not so much the $100 for the pedals that I am concerned about, its more that if I can get the same quality for $75 less, I see no reason not to.

I bought the Amazon pedals and am happy with them. The quality is pretty good and they slip right on. I posted this in the other pedal thread as well. Here is a photo....

Yeah I ended up buying them also...for $20 I figured why not haha. I agree, quality is pretty nice and once they are on, there is no way you can tell between OEM and Amazon.

Just installed mine the other day - Perfect!! Took a little wiggle to get it on but in my opinion way better than trying to drill and a chance of mess something up.

I went for the M Performance petals. Why not get the real thing on a $50k car?

Ha what a dumb question. Why not buy the real $500 carbon fiber spoiler when you can get one of equal quality for $250? Why not paint your roof for $500 instead of wrapping in vinyl for $250?

Because its cosmetic and meaningless, thats why. No point in spending $100 more on something that you step on, and that provides no real value whatsoever over a $20 set from Amazon.

We are only talking about $75. There is a big difference in quality. I guess it all comes down to how long do you want to keep your car. In five years, I am sure, they will look quite different.

Then again, you have no idea what they will look like. Also, do you have the Amazon pedals? If not, then you have no idea what the difference is.

I would rather take that $75 and use it towards something else that actually matters.

I don't see the point in drilling personally. I bought an aluminum pedal set for my previous E46 and I just used black RTV silicone as an adhesive and stuck them on. Worked perfectly and none of them ever moved the slightest bit in the 5-6 years I used them and all perfectly reversible if I decided I didn't like them.

what do this even mean? where's the "big" difference in quality? And why/how do you know they will look "quite different" in 5 years?

You make it seem as if they are made of chromed plastic or something...

One is metal and the other is a slip on. You tell me they are the same quality.
