Lets see those custom Engine Start/Stop Buttons!

Yes, but nevermind, I saw one elsewhere.

Anyone know if there is a custom replacement for these type of push starts? Mine is a BMW 2012 335i sedan

Nice find! I ordered a red and a silver, see which I like better. At $6 a piece, its worth a shot.

I ordered a silver one for myself, I think the red would throw me off, but then again... Please take some pics and let me know how it looks with the oem cf trim.

Will do! I have extended fox red as well, so interested to see how the red looks with it.

Ha, noticed that one but didn't dare going for it should quality be crap. Get what you pay for, if you're lucky, Im thinking...

Do you mind sharing how you removed the plastic ring (the part you painted) from the start/stop button so you could paint it? I have the piece out of the dash, but I don't know how to take the button apart so I can paint it. Help?

Thanks.

^^ This.....how to get the ring off ?

My covers came in from China, pretty happy with them. Quality is good, fitment is spot on. They are thin enough to not look tacked on, but not too thin to be flimsy. I like the machined edges, adds a nice finished look to them. I chose to stick with the red, but the silver looks nice too.

Where is mine!

Hopefully mine arrives this week.

Got this

^^ Ordered that same one too.
