Where the footrest at?

I know, now I need something for the footrest. Actually is there options for it? The M2 was the other way around. Came with the foot rest and the three pedals nothing!

From BMW there is the Performance dead pedal and the M dead pedal. There are several from other aftermarket places.

For you, the OEM Performance footrest seems like the easiest solution as it is supposed to bolted on the standard black footrest that you have.

This M Sport one comes in piece with some plastics around it so the install is probably not as easy. Found this out when I've got the whole Perfomance pedal set. So I've just installed the PP pedals and left the M Sport footrest there. Looks nice.

Maybe try AC Schnitzel or 3D Design, too.

I'm rocking BMW Performance pedals and the stock M Sport footrest.

I do have to say the M dead pedal looks cheap and generic next to the other pedal

. I'm sure it feels great though!

BAN_M2C · 10-09-2017, 09:27 AM

Thanks for showing me these options. I will look into them!

Not worth uninstalling the M footrest, buying the plastic one, installing it, cursing, hissing and drilling holes for the Performance footrest, though. Already had problems with the other three pedals.

Those Edition Sport pedals are nice, too.

tjswarbrick · 10-09-2017, 11:59 AM

I love the sport edition pedals, and agree 100% about the footrest.
Lost a pin behind there replacing the clutch pedal. Had to break it to remove it. Solution is so ugly I don't want to show it, but it feels fine and works great so I keep it.

Also - update on my latest oil leak.
Not the OFHG!
It was the O-Ring that I installed with the WIX filter at my last oil change ~ 5000 miles ago.
Was going to do another this coming weekend, but don't want it gushing out the whole week while I drive to work. So I had my Indy swap in an OEM unit this morning.

Most expensive oil filter of my life! (Charged about 1/2 hr labor for diags on top of it.) But cheap insurance. And he figured out the problem, so he earned his keep.

Ordered some rotors from cquence.net to go with the F30 335i Grey Brembo calipers that have been sitting in my line of sight for a couple months now... and also got some snow tires, because daily driver.

EDIT: cquence.net did not have the rotors I wanted, so amazon came to the rescue with StopTech Sport Slotted rotors.

Installed a BMW trunk liner (about 15 seconds) and mounts for the factory warning triangle in the trunk lid (about 15 minutes). Nice easy little project to get ready for winter.

I need to get the trunk liner!

desertman123 · 10-11-2017, 10:05 PM

Proper brake/clutch fluid flush - made everything feel 100%

Gray_Panther · 10-12-2017, 11:36 AM

Driving the 128i today. Pretty exciting day for me since I will be driving my gf to the spot where I will propose to her during the sunset.

Update: Who would even entertain the idea of saying no to a 1 series driver!

I like the sorta retro look to the car, gives it an E36 look about it.

Agreed! I bought them, because they were cheap and within the FS class rules for autocross, but I'm digging the looks too! Thinking about plasti-dipping them just for the hell of it, but can't decide on a color...
