new M button color - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

e82m_van · 04-27-2012, 04:35 PM

I love my 1M and I love the M button.
But I didn't like how the M button blends in with the other buttons.
I thought it should stand out more so I decided to change the color.
I originally wanted to wrap with with red but my supplier didn't have any in stock. So I decided to give it a try with yellow.
But now that it's on, I'm kinda having second thoughts.. maybe I should take it off hahahah

Tuned1M · 04-27-2012, 04:38 PM

I would have went red.

like! cant wait to see red

MrRoboto · 04-27-2012, 05:33 PM

I wish the tuners could figure out how to incorporate the M button so that the tune was actioned when the button was pressed.

Mr.Metak2you · 04-27-2012, 05:49 PM

I vote orange to match the stitching and orange starter rings(they will be ready to order and ship next week I swear!) of course.

Gloss 'polished' on left and Matte 'bead blasted' on the right:

Sorry for the crummy iPhone 3gs photo my wife took today while I was at work...

Drace1 · 04-27-2012, 06:54 PM

Nice idea, as mentioned above, maybe an orange or something similar would be cool.

Papethova · 04-27-2012, 07:04 PM

Ill vote orange to match the interior accents as well

All of sudden I have a taste for some lifesavers.

Mr.Metak2you · 04-27-2012, 08:06 PM

I know, huh?

The wrap will eventually wear down. I consider that with everything on a car....everything ends up being a wear item at some point...some quicker than others. I would imagine at 2-3 times a day, it would wear rather quickly. Red would look better...can you think of a better more perm solution.

Good job on the detail though...your detail is very clean!

fastauto · 04-27-2012, 10:46 PM

Cool concept. Orange to match the interior would be ideal.

I'm sure powerbeast will take that yellow button off your hands

Bpark1977 · 04-28-2012, 11:08 AM

Maybe match the blue in the BMW logo. I think red would be cool during the day, but at night it wouldn't contrast with the lighting.

Good old typewriter M button.

A+ for idea, but yellow doesn't work well with the rest of the interior IMO (unless you are Powerbeast

). Go for orange and while at it do the starter rim/ring.

I don't think I've had to wait this long for a rim job ever before

J/K, thankful for all your hard work and devotion to detail, the wait will very much pay off I am sure, cheers again for doing it.
