DIY: Blue / Red push start button
Since the F series have it.. it's time for the E series
I picked blue instead of red because i don't like red. Some of you might not like the color, but the blue matches the stitching in my car. Bought it from http://www.bimlandperformance.com during their pre-order. Step 1: Use a plastic pry tool and go behind the trim Step 2: Detach the cord and the push start button by clicking two locking tabs. Step 3: Detach the push start button from the trim by clicking locking tabs and go towards you, now you will see an empty hole Step 4: Remove the silver ring by pulling it off 4 locking tabs Step5: Remove the black push start BUTTON by using something small and flat, it should come right off Step 6: Put the new button by matching the locking tabs, and there's an extended plastic, so I don't think you would place it upside down. Step 6.5: Put the silver ring back on Step 7: Push the Push start button back into the trim and trim into the dash = done Last edited by Blueeyesredpanda; 04-04-2018 at 06:16 PM.. |

Just a heads up, if you choose to go with the red one, go with IND. I bought a red one from the link that OP provided and ended up buying the IND Start/Stop + Red M. The paint quality of red color itself is night and day better from IND. I still ended up using the other red one on my e91.

Also wanted to add, that a couple of us that bought from the vendor above, the buttons are crooked to the left a little bit. It’s enough to be noticed from all different angles inside the car. Ended up buying a blue set from iND so hoping to not have the same issue.
