AC Schnitzer pedals
 

Anyone try these? It doesn't say anything about being replicas so I'm just wondering what's the real deal.

I don't know about that particular seller, but I got my ///M-Sport pedals on EBay. I'm sure they're completely fake...

Anyway, here's the thread from when I installed them in my X3:

If you like those ACS pedals, I'd go ahead and buy them. On an item like that, it's not too bad getting them from EBay, because there's no moving parts/electronics in them. Just a slab of metal with some logos and a rubber backing. Good luck!

And:

WHOO-WHO!! 200 POSTS!

See http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/x5/i...pedals-x5.html

It's an easy and common mod.

Jay330Ci,
Just realize that with the pedal package you posted from eBay, you will not be getting a dead pedal/footrest, or clutch pedal (if you have manual tran). I think it looks incomplete without all three covered the same.

I Believe The real one costs over $200 dollar

:iagree:

It's unscrupulous advertising that this seller posts a picture of the 3 pedal package but actually sells a 2 pedal package. Do not buy from this seller.

Try Goodstuffs4you9004 - several of us have bought from this seller who has a very good reputation.

The M-Tec and ACS pedals are exactly the same except for the logos. The overall quality is good.

I got the OEMs ( you also have to buy dead pedal separately) and they were about $250 ? installed

Thanks for everything guys. I'll buy from the good stuff4you on ebay but apparently they do not have the ac schnitzer ones only M ones for the x5

Yes, they do. Check out this set.

If you want black pedals, check this one. I don't think the black has any writing on them, though.

NOTE: I have nothing to do with this seller. I did buy my look-alike set of ACS pedals from them, and was quite satisfied.

I bought a set from ebay.....and they look GREAT...came with a handbrake grip too....I think I paid $65 + shipping....Like I said.... they look great...if they are knock-offs I couldn't tell....I have seen the original ACS...adn these look exactly the same!

Hi guys,

I got the pedals yesterday from another member and it didn't come with the screws for the dead pedal. Can anyone tell me what size and length the screw is and where I can buy it? Thanks again. I was thginking of contacting the ebay seller though.

Just bring it with you to the hardware store and match some up... They are less than a half a inch...

Alright less than half an inch. I should probably buy stainless steel so it won't rust or should any screw do the job?

Definately go with stainless steel

I have found that a boating store often has a better supply of stainless steel hardware than most traditional hardware stores. BoatUS/West Marine, etc. So if you can't find the bolts & nuts you like initially, try the boat store.

does anyone know if the supplied screws from the package are stainless steel? thanks again

Why not just get stainless steel ones? They aren't going to cost that much more...

Answers about aluminum pedals
 

What you need are flat head (countersink) screws, 1/2" self-tapping stainless. Make sure you get the right size screw head that fits flush in the holes. It probably will set you back a whole dollar at Home Depot or Lowe's.

When I ordered mine, It didn't come with the dead pedal. Easy to install. Theywill look good once installed.

Well I was over at Menards and Homedepot by my house and checked but they don't have them. I know the size is 8 x 1/2 but they only have them as zinc plated:rolleyes: . Oh well, I'm off to the boat store.

Finally got them at a marine shop. What I got was the SS oval head 8 x 1/2 and the SS flat head 8 x 3/4. The flathead 8 x 3/4 is nice because when on the pedal you can't see the screw but the problem is that it's 3/4". Now the 8 x 1/2 is what is suggested but looks a bit short on top of that, it has the oval shape top. Anything wrong if I use the larger screw?

Just screw them in. Why be so paranoid with a cheap and simple mod? It's not like you are going to remove it later on; or are you?

That flathead screw might be a little too long - check the thickness of the plastic footrest to make sure. If it fits okay, then you have a choice between either type of screw head. At this point, whatever looks best to you is the best choice.

Everybody has their own definition of a good screw.

If you prefer the head of the longer screw, just cut it shorter.

Thanks for the tips guys. I used the longer screw and it was actually perfect. Not too long. Thanks again fellas!

Now where are the finished pics?

Those look nice, you install em yet ?
