EBay ///M brushed aluminum pedal set

http://www.ebay.com/itm/141937652389...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I was thinking about picking these up, and wondered if anyone has used them and can comment on quality and fit? I really like the look of them, but the price and country of manufacture scares me. As long as they fit okay and the finish doesn't wear off after a week I am good spending the $35.00.

Can anyone comment?

Those look like it had too much M treatment.

Looks very aftermarket.

I got the pedals that came with the 335is.

These are really nice, especially for heel toeing. The gas pedal is a bit higher so you don't need to brake so hard to be able to heel toe

I love my M Performance pedals. They have held up great. Still look new after several years.

Not only do they look cheap, if your shoes are wet they will slip like crazy. My friend found that out the hard way lol.

Thanks for the advice. I think the M Performance ones are too gaudy looking. Not my taste. The Pedal Haus ones are okay but a little more than I want to spend on something that only your feet see. I still like the Ebay ones because they match my extended DCT paddles fairly well. Not sure why people are so turned off by them, they are very similar to the AC Schnitzer pedals, which are very expensive and highly desireable. The only reason I don't go with the AC Schnitzer pedals is that I am looking for a set that has a matching dead pedal and I don't believe the AC Schnitzer pedals do.

If anyone has used these before and has input on how the fit and finish is I would appreciate it. In the end I will probably just skip buying pedals and put the money elsewhere.

On a side note is there an aftermarket pedal set that matches the OEM dead pedal?

I recommend ultimate pedals. You can customize them and even have them engraved. Quality and fitment is top notch.

I have this setup in black and I like it. The only major complaint is that the paint wears off on the edges over time.

I have them. I am on my second set. The first ones lasted about 5 years and the only reason I replaced them was to get new ones, nothing more. They work really well. They are not cheesy in person as the logo is smaller. They have rubber inserts so even with dress shoes, my feet don't slip. I am not paying a lot of money for something for my feet to see. For 35 dollars you can sell them off if you don't like them.

Thanks for the input. I decided instead to get a set of AC schnitzer pedals from a local guy. I believe they are brand new and i am getting them for dirt cheap. Based on your review I might sell them instead of installing ( I could make a couple hundred easily) and go with the eBay ones (black looks cool too)

These are the one I have. F30 style, FAR more subtle and not gaudy like those eBay ones. The best part is that they're slip on replacements and don't need any drilling. You remove the stock rubber pedal covers and slip/snap these into place. I've had a set in two E9x now. Best aftermarket pedals I've used over the years.

A couple years ago I got sick of my heel chewing through floor mats every few track events, so I threw in a Pedal Haus set. Love it, and it still looks new.
