I replaced worn Start/Stop and AC fan speed (not shown) buttons.
Got some pedals from Ultimate Pedals, I have ran a pair on my old E39 M5 and am on my second set on my white E61, they are extremely well made and I am a big fan or brushed metals in interiors.

In my eyes this is a nice sporty/classy touch to the interior.
Getting back to the OEM hitch install
These are all the goodies included in the kit
I wasn't going to put up with the excessive bumper trimming required to fit the OEM hitch so I decided to modify the angle of the plate that mounts the trailer wiring connector. I cut it off and ground it flush with an angle grinder
Paid a local welder $20 to mount it back on
OEM crash bar vs OEM hitch, the hitch is real beefy and weighs about 55lbs
Hitch bolted up, you can see the nee vertical orientation of the connector ....and all the scratches the welder added to the hitch while moving it around. I used some Duplicolor semi-gloss paint which matched the OEM finish very well.
Moving onto the wiring
Previous owners had little kids, I have now collected about 10-12 Lego pieces from the interior. Battery area got a vacuum.
Wiring ran to fuse block and module installed.
Trimming was a little tedious but I am happy with the results.
In this photo the 4 pin connector/adapter is installed, some people inquired if it would sit too low in the new position, no.
Clean!
Added +AHMU to the vehicle order and then followed that up with some additional module coding
Some module coding included rear view camera zoom for aligning a trailer
The setup with the new 1UP Super Duty bike rack installed. It is the only rack would fit my monster 1360mm wheelbase Pole Evolink.
