Best Pedal and Footrest for X5 (poll)

[mtech8]

I love polls. Here is another one.

Which of the following do you think is the best pedal and footrest combo?

ACS


ACS- Replica


BMW


Hamann


Hartge



These are my opinions on them:

ACS- Love them, but the footrest looks small. Prefer completely cover the footrest area. They are the most expensive though.

ACS Replica- Looks nice too. Covers more footrest area, but footrest is not completely rectangular (sorry no picture of it, but it's slightly curved on the bottom left like the Hartge footrest. Just not as pronounced as the Hartge).

BMW- Very subtle addition to looks. Too bad it doesn't have a matching footrest!

Hamann- Love them. Really like how the footrest cover entire area. Really designed for the E70. However, no rubber on pedals. Worries about slippage when shoes are wet.

Hartge- Really like their looks. But no footrest made specifically for the X5 yet. Don't like how the footrest is curved in at the bottom.

What are your thoughts and votes?

None of those.

My preference is Bimmian which is like the ACS without the writing...

Sorry but this reminded me of people putting their feet on the dashboard.
I see that a lot and it drives me bananas.. As for the question? I don't
have a preference.

That's right. Totally forgot about those guys. I did see them in a thread earlier back. Here are those Bimmian photos. My opinion on them are the same as the ACS replicas.. see how they curve on one end?

I installed the Bimmian pedals on my E70. I had the OEM pedals on my E53, but they looked very much like the Bimmians. I DO NOT like the OEMs for the E70 at all.

Hey...Those are my shoes

Very interesting perspetive. I've never heard that before. But everyone is entitled to their opinions.

I left out "don't like pedal covers" as a choice because I figured that would skew the poll. I think a lot of people would answer that way.

But for those of us that like pedal cover, hopefully this will turn out some good results.

MMM...what's MTECH8 doing with your shoes??

I like the BMW ones because they have much more rubber surface than the others. All the others look like they would be very slippery when wet. I would hate to change out the pedals for cosmtetic reasons then try to go grab the brakes after it has been raining and have my foot slip off. Your pedals will look flashy, but the front of your car will be smashed in.

They are not slippery at all. I was concerned about that when I put the OEM ones on my E53. There is rubber that comes up through those slats. If anything, I think the non slip is better.
