Lets see those custom Engine Start/Stop Buttons!

Hujan · 06-04-2018, 01:15 PM

Anybody got a part number for the solid aluminum ring pictured here? I think it was the ring used on the older models:

Here is the DIY for the M button. http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1492750

The red start / stop button will not replace the black ring. Only the actual button itself.

I got a set on the way but just noticed that these are fitted to pre-LCI models. Mine's a 2012 so would it fit or do I need the older style surround for it to fit.

The button itself is the same across all E9X chassis.

This is the Pre-LCI button with the aluminum. Does this fit LCI?

A good friend of mine gifted me these! So awesome.

Here's a reference pic between the MB (ModBarga*ns) and IND Start/Stop buttons that I've received. MB on the LEFT and IND on the RIGHT.

Notice the differences in color, the smoothness and glossiness, as well as how sharp the font is. IND is clearly the winner here.

Yes it can be corrected, due to the painting/manufacturing process, the guides on the M button are a little wider now. All you have to do is remove the excess paint on the guides and it will sit and slide like the OE button.

This is exactly what I did, used a razor blade and was careful not to scrape any paint that was visible. Not the prettiest, but none of the sections where the paint was removed is visible once installed. Prior to removing the paint, the button would stick in the housing, where the OEM one slid freely and would fall out if turned upside down. It now slides freely and also falls out when turned upside down. Button sits flush as well.

Not 100% sure, but I can't imagine it won't. I need to look for it on RealOEM.

I just installed this from IND. It's for my M240i. It has a gloss wrap over the button, quality piece as usual coming from IND.

hotbmwfan · 06-26-2018, 01:00 PM

I just installed a blue stop/start button from IND. Strange thing is that from the pics on the IND site, the button looked to be painted with non-metallic paint similar to santorini blue. This would have been a good match to the blue stripe on my Performance steering wheel. However, the button I got from IND was painted with metallic paint more like monte carlo blue - BONUS!!!! because it matches the exterior of my car - couldn't have turned out better.

At first I thought it matched the blue in the BMW Roundel (see the first pic by IND above). Odd that it doesn't.

I went with the red ring a few months ago and I liked the red start button when that came out but wasn't sure if I'd be happy with the combination of all red ring and button. Picked up the IND button and gave it a shot, happy with the result.

Seeing your picture got me thinking, do the IND Start/Stop and M buttons illuminate with the rest of the buttons as well?

derbo · 07-02-2018, 03:13 PM

call me crazy, but I want a satin/matte finish red or blue one like how the black OE one is. IND-Distribution, do you ever plan to bring one out?

donut_boi · 07-02-2018, 06:15 PM

Also, when are you guys expecting to release the yellow ones?

Heck yeah! I'd be in like Flynn for a yellow one!

Gto3 · 07-12-2018, 08:04 PM

Finally got my set up.

Button from IND and CF bezel from China (took 2 attempts from 2 different sellers to finally get it delivered here)
