It fit well. Only note is that I used the sanding part of my nail cutter to sand down a little imperfection of the ring. The plastic has a little bit stick out. Fair game for rando eBay parts at this price. I'm happy overall, the fake CF could look better but it's not distracting.

When you get the ring from eBay or wherever you order it from, scrape off the existing rubbery stuff carefully and then use the primer that comes in the packet.
That way your aluminum ring won't fall off when the rubber deteriorates.

Do you have to take the button out and completely apart to install the aluminum ring?
UPSROD wroteNo, you can use a plastic thing to slowly scrape off the black pealing parts and apply the ring directly on it. But I chose to peal off the black rubbery stuff completely then respray the inside of the ring black. Leaving the front face bare white plastic and applying the metal ring on top. I wanted to do a clean job of applying it.Do you have to take the button out and completely apart to install the aluminum ring?
Removing the button is easy, use a plastic pry tool and slowly pry the trim forward, it will give you enough room to push in the little clips and pull the button out.
Haha I simply installed the new ring on top of the existing part, fitment seems good anyways
Got my aluminum one from China...very nice for $3.47, took about a month to get. I may never use it but have it in case. Mine has some kind of double stickum tape or very thin glue with a plastic strip to pull off on the back, no primer or glue.
Here is mine, painted with gloss black UV nail polish by my girlfriend 
The 3D effect is great and the paint seems very solid, so hopefully it will last longer than the OEM.

Nail polish is a great idea! Tough stuff!
Got a start button from ECS, and it came with the 320si etched on the bottom. Looking at real oem it does show that as an option. lol.
What gives?

I found that carbon piece too tacky, I wished they made it all carbon minus the stripes. Then that would be perfect.
An you guys just buy the LCI button from a 3 series that doesn’t peel?
