E46 M3 Footrest

[cgoh]

I need some carifications for the bros out there (especially those who owns a M3). I found out from E46fanatics that there is a genuine BMW part for the M3 footrest:

I also saw it on a M3 on sales at Car Times. However, when I ask for it at PML, they told me that this is for LHD cars only. BMW did not produce this part for RHD. Is this true? How come the Mustard Yellow M3 I saw in Car Times have it?

Any bros out there have this footrest in their car?

Not true... They have them available for RHD.. I know because I purchase a set from BMW Indonesia.

It fit perfectly without modification? Can you give me the part # so that I can ask them again? How much did you pay for it?

FYI,
It's actually not a standard feature for M3 coz afaik, the M3s that PML sold here didnt have that pedal either.

Having said that, be assured that it's available for RHD.

Have u checked out the Hamann pedals? I think they look a lot nicer and sporty.
I saw one set at Miki Marketing ( replica one but good quality )

Cheers

Thanks for the info.

I thougt about the Hamann pedals too. Yes, they are very nice. But I like the pedal to have a rubber grip for better feel. Furthermore, a lot of bros already have them so I decided to go for something different. I actual got the BMW aluminium pedals from Eng Soon a few days ago.

Re: E46 M3 Footrest

The saga continues ...

I called Eng Soon and they also told me that the part is for LHD only (part# 51432695411). However, RHD can use with a very slight modification. The plate is slightly bigger so must cut a small bit of the corner.

Re: E46 M3 Footrest

The confusion has been resolved. The parts required is part # 51432695411:

This part is shipped with the panel trim and the M aluminum footrest on it. It is only supplied for LHD. For RHD, we have to cut off the plastic panel to remove the footrest and glue it to our existing footrest.
