I like the UUC's. Very clean and sharp looking.Ashok Arora said:I'm seriously considering these ACS pedals for the new car:

I think that the brake pedal especially will have better "feel" than the larger GSP model shown here:

Vic said:Ashok,
Easy for me, I only buy items which are on the BMW pricelist.
I want to keep my car as original as possible
Good luck making your pick
This is only on LHD cars on RHD you get the same as the standard models.m630 said:BMW should be offering metal w/rubber gas/brake pedals that match to the kick plate foot rest that comes standard, they always have in the past, check the accessories book, they may be there
My local BMW dealer - Lind - still stock ACS bits and pieces, but as ever, it is worth ringing round to check prices and Birds are often hard to beat.Ashok Arora said:Thanks for the offer Martin, I won't trouble you though.
I think I'll go for the ACS Pedal set.
Are these available from BMW dealers in the UK or should I get it supplied & fitted from somewhere like Birds?
I hear what JohnH is saying & I remember the ACS pedals on his Estoril M5.
However, didn't BMW-GB withdraw approval for ACS products a couple of years ago??
Ashok Arora said:Looks great Rob -
Can you please inform us:
(1) When these will be available?
(2) What is the cost for M5Board members?
(3) Can you supply/distribute to UK?

That issue is the same on at least my 540 E39 !Rob Levinson said:One very important thing for M5 owners to realize... the M5 gas pedal is approximately 5/8" taller than other BMW gas pedals. Therefore the pedal sets designed for "most" BMWs do not fit the M5 properly, leaving an unsightly 5/8" of black pedal showing at the top.
UUC will be making our new pedal design specifically for the M5 fitment very soon:

This design features a wider gas pedal for easier heel/toe shifting, and raised grip rings around the holes that have proven to be more effective than raised rubber when wet.
Correct, it affects all E39.540is said:That issue is the same on at least my 540 E39 !
In all reality, it depends. Here's how to look at the various types of covers:Opposite_Lock said:Why are people getting the metal covers? Is it solely for looks?
I ask because someone mentioned a better 'feel' but I don't see how slapping a set of metal covers over the rubber ones would improve that. It sounds like it would be even more slippery.
