You have to drill out (just slightly) the largest screw in fitting to accept the BMW plastic rivets. Go for it and then add the aluminum pedals.

Thanks!
Yes, he'll need more than 24 blind rivets per car. Let me list it a bit clearer:
4 wheels @ 6 rivets each = 24 rivets
2 door sill covers/RB covers @ 8 rivets each = 16 rivets
Total blind rivets for just one car = 40 rivets
Can you clarify the location of the screw-in fitting that needs drilling out? I don't remember any screw in fittings but its been a while since I did the install on mine.
