Aluminum pedals installed.

It took me 2 hours to install all pedals. Rest, clutch, and gas pedals are easy to drill, since they are plastic. However, the brake pedal is metal which took me some time to drill. I installed the aluminum handbrake handle as well, but I couldn't take out the original black release button. Please let me know if anyone knows how to remove the original black release button.

Nice! The aluminum pedals will likely be the first mod I do to my 335.

No idea on the e-brake button, sorry.

Thanks for the pics, I was considering the ACS pedals just last night. I'm not feeling the ebrake handle though.

I'm right with you on that. I would like to change my pedals too, but I'm afraid it won't look right. If I had alum trim, it would be a no brainer.

Nice. I ordered the same pedals a few days ago. Hopefully they will get here in a few days.

Ebay. Well, I ordered replica's since the original pedals are seriously overpriced. I had replica ACS pedals in my e46 and the quality was really good. I think they were 90 shipped with a clutch, brake, gas, and dead pedal.

I have OEM Alum pedals with Wood trim. I LOVE it! Matches the original shifter nob very nicely. Pics in my garage.

do you find that alum. pedals may cause you to slip easier when your foot is wet?

I had the same set of pedals in my e46, and when my feet were wet I was still able to drive fine without them slipping off because of the rubber lines that they have running across them give you good traction.

I think I like tha way that MoMo Race Knob looks more than the whole pedals operation.

I was actually quite worried about this as I do go to the track with my car and slipping would be a MAJOR problem. I think I actually have MORE traction there now! The black rubber pieces stick out of the medal on the OEM pedals and therefore have many spots that are on your foot. No slippage at all!
