I meant OEM BMW Accessory - I never implied installed prior to delivery -

No one is busting your chops on that as OEM means just that. "BMW approved" ha ha ha :rolleyes:

Just for clarification

Options-generally refers to features that can be added on or upgrades to standard equipment available from the factory when ordering a new vehicle.

OE-original equipment, genuine BMW replacement part.

OEM-Original equipment Manufacturer, replacement part made by the original BMW supplier but is labeled with supplier's brand name. May or may not be to BMW quality specs.

BMW accessories- purchased in parts department, can be dealer installed or otherwise.

Aftermarket- Parts that don't carry the BMW brand name. Often refers to performance or appearance upgrades but can also be superior, same or inferior quality stock replacement parts marketed as equal to or greater quality than genuine BMW parts.

You're so cool and knowledgeable bro.

Okay it is available from the BMW, dealer installed the pedal covers, sold to customer in that manner. While not factory installed its still an option as an accessory. My point is BMW approved the design, placed their name behind it and offered is as upgrade to customers.

11.19.16 - Steering Wheel Install!

Spent about 60 mins this morning swapping the sport steering wheel to the newly acquired ///M Steering Wheel. Taking all the crap out of the trunk to access the battery takes the longest, after that the swap is very straight forward. Here are some before and after shots. I am very satisfied with the end results. FYI - old sport steering wheel is for sale @ $200 + Shipping.

Next up is the cluster swap, I already have the cluster. Just scheduling some time with my mechanic who has the autologic to perform the coding.

Looks really nice, I like it :)

FYI: cluster swap is not only some simple swapping and coding. At least if milages differ between the old and new one.

Hey can change the mileage through that as well?

After performing a ton of research and asking various people about cluster information, I am fairly confident I will be able to have the new cluster match up everything correctly. I have the autologic step-by-step screenshots for recoding the new cluster, I'll report back once everything is squared away.


FYI - here is the cluster i'll be swapping in:
