Seattle ordered a set for me - the dead pedal is just an overlay that screws on top of the existing plastic dead pedal. Its not the exact same size and looked really funny having part of the brown colored plastic visible around the new aluminum pedal. We went into the BMW system and there is really no dead pedal for the E70 style. The pics on the website are incorrect. They only make the gas and brake pedals for our specific model.

Ya .. probably looks ok with black but other colours, I can see you point .... oh well. I had the pedals on my M3, but wont bother on the X5.
I notice you have a R8 in your list of cars. If you still have the car, you should take some snaps of that and post ... I've only ever seen one of those in downtown seattle. Looked amazing. |

Pics as requested. Dont see getting rid of the R8 for some time as I have not found its equal yet as a street/track car right out of the box without any mods.
These pics were taken right after delivery about a yr ago. Love the black, but what a task keeping it up. Phantom Black with carbon fiber sideblade and engine compartment.

Looks like the same setup I have. Thule rack on the OEM hitch. Thule used to make a hitch mounted bike carrier that BMW put their badge on. They discontinued that one as it had a pinch risk and a few folks lost fingers.

Not sure on earlier models, but the hitch is the OEM one from BMW. The bike rack is from Thule as mentioned above. Great for heavy downhill bikes :-)

Lots of folks round here have not been able to
get them because the factory where they were made went ka-poot. So I was wondering if it was the same design/part # ect. Guess I better search around in the hitch threads and see. Thanks
