Engine Start/Stop Button

SchnellM3 · 05-22-2010, 10:34 AM

Kinda of a silly up grade but I test drove a GTR this past weekend and the Start button is red and I thought cool that would look pretty slick in my M since the Car is Melbourne on the outside and has a Fox Red interior. Does anyone make after market buttons for that?

was actually wondering if you had any luck with looking into this.

I'm sure someone could paint it??

i have always wondered about this, when i had my s2000 it was red, then other cars have the same thing.. then i realized all the cars ive seen with RED START botton are JDM cars... maybe the euro just doesnt want to follow although id rock one right away... it look better IMO...

zblake · 10-05-2011, 06:45 PM

I'd like one that say's "GO Baby GO"!

IIRC Ferrari and new Lambos are red as well.

I'd get a red start button (only because my car is melbourne red though).

IND looked into the S2k button to see if it would fit them M but it was a no go. They could paint one but it wouldn't light up, said go for it and shoot me a estimate but haven't herd anything back for awhile

I might give it a shot! I guess it also depends on long it takes.

I'll let you know if its possible next week.

I already ask them and they said it could be done.

so I'm just going to prep-talk them before they do anything

lostcuaz · 10-08-2011, 08:31 AM

ASGM3 · 10-08-2011, 09:39 AM

I like the start/stop button in the new jaguar cars ... The start/ stop button Pulsates .

SROC3 · 11-18-2011, 04:45 PM

I'd have it read "TURN ME ON BABY"

I miss my S2000 red start button

I also like how it was directly tied to the electric starter, like an old-school ignition key. If you let go of the button before the motor turned, well... the motor wouldn't turn. With every other push button (M3s included), you simply click and let go, and the computer ensures that the electric starter would turn the motor. It's less visceral, and I don't feel as connected to the car.
