Rubber and steel, loads of them on ebay, just search for F30 pedals.

I basically installed a set of new to me 692 wheels. Mine came with the entry 688 18 inch wheels. I'm so excited!

Before and after:

adam.b · 09-26-2019, 11:22 PM

Looks a lot better with new wheels

Much better with the wheel upgrade!

CRuben09 · 09-27-2019, 06:40 AM

Thank you guys! I wanted to upgrade to the 20 inch 699, but there are a lot of potholes in my beautiful Puerto Rico and low profile tires are not friend of them.

I got this set from eBay for $800.

How's the quality? Any chance you think they would pop off?

They’re great quality, brake pedal has really stiff rubber that keeps it on, and the gas pedal has 3M tape to stop it from ever slipping off.

Eulenspiegel · 09-27-2019, 03:55 PM

Looks great! I guess I'm old fashioned or lack the desire to look mean, but I far prefer this look to the all black, which seems boring to me after the first few glances. IMHO, of course.

everydaybimmer_ · 09-28-2019, 07:36 AM

Mounted the front grille last night, incredible how just one piece can make such a difference. Looking stealth!

corn18 · 09-28-2019, 01:42 PM

Put the label covers on from Ebay. They don't disappear but they look better than the yellow labels.

Got them from here:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-Sun-vis...72.m2749.l2649

Really easy to apply. I took the visors off, which takes about 20 seconds.

I also put these on my Z4 and they match perfectly. Really like not looking at the warning labels.

corn18,

Thank you for the photos and link. I'm definitely getting these. I cannot stand looking st those yellow labels! Were the visors really that easy to remove? Any tips?

I wish we could purchase European visors that have no labeling on them, vs. covering them.

Just pop the plastic tab out and the visor rotates out of the hole.

Made a minimal front license plate bracket. Requires only two small holes on the underside of the bumper.

LimiX4m40 · 10-05-2019, 03:47 AM

Does someone know hoe i can remove that part to paint it?

Thanks

You need to remove the whole panel, start above the fog light with a plastic pry tool, once you get the top clips out it's then fairly easy to work your way around the rest.

Then lay the panel down on something soft, and using a very small flat blade screwdriver gradually unclip all the fixings on the back of the boomerang. Don't be tempted to lever it from the front at all as you will damage the boomerang.

It's tricky but doable, I managed it on mine:
