Who knew I'd put so much though into a little button.

i wish they made paint matched buttons, imagine having twilight purple start button and m buttons lol.

So this comment got me curious and I reached out to IND about getting start/stop, audio volume, and M1/M2 buttons painted Twilight Purple.

They could paint the start/stop & audio volume buttons however the text would not be visible and they also would not longer light up.

They could do the M1/M2 buttons but I think those would look off if the start/stop was kept as red.

hmmmm, i could care less about the light up text, but i would like the text to be visible on the buttons. hopefully some company can figure it out. i think IND should really look into doing custom paint matching buttons.

just my opinion though

I don't care about them lighting up either but definitely want the text visible. It's an issue with being able to etch the lettering out after painting, which would be a pain in the ass I'm sure.

They could get the buttons made in a specific color but it would have to be at the volumes that make sense to actually manufacture.

FWIW, the red button text is nice and illuminated in the dark.

i would be willing to pay 50-75$ for the full set of buttons, i defintley think its something they should look at the return would be great for them and allows for not only us but people with "normal colors" to customise the interior a little more, imagine if they had white buttons or even green.

Actually once IND told me they couldn't paint it and allow for the text to be visible my search ended.

To match with start/stop and M1/M2 buttons, should I order gloss or satin ?

Satin.

HTTP 410 · 02-13-2022, 07:21 PM

It looks like the gloss matches to me, but haven't seen the satin to compare.

Thanks for sharing. I placed the order for satin already. Will see if it matches or not.

Correct match is the glossy one. Anyways, I will keep the satin for the time being

Ben, I forgot to get this installed the other day. Can I get a free installation for this?

Nah, he needs to feel the fear of thinking he's going to pull the damn knob off like everyone else.

Lol.
I've made a video earlier today.
Once I compile it, I'll post it.

I also ordered a set button assembly and thinking of offering pre-installed with a core charge.
So, I can have it pre-installed, just need to swap the whole assembly unit.

r33_RGSport · 02-23-2022, 03:36 PM

Here is the installation video. Also added on first post.

Dammit I broke my gray outer ring while doing the install. Any idea what the replacement part info or number is for the gray ring? Thanks.

Unfortunately, BMW doesn't sell that part separately.
