Yes.

See pics in #186.

I swear, I've never seen such a bunch of hyper sensitive/anal people than some on this forum with all their little noises & such...

No, neither of the PB's I got make any noise not the ebay version or forum version (which I'm guessing were really from same vendor)

I don't have any tape and no noise here. first world problems heh?

I have 2 of the original buttons, and no issues at all with sound here.

Have a glance at the Bmw M3 CS.

That's nice. Would you like a badge, or a chest to pin it on?

Nice catch! but they forgot the silver ring

Bizall · 11-08-2017, 06:06 AM

For those yet to install, ignore the tweezers and go straight to two jeweler's screwdrivers to get the button to pop out. Takes about 5 mins in total. So small, yet subtle. Looks dope.

jnthn · 11-08-2017, 09:38 AM

Ordered the red button and silver ring

OF Hero · 11-08-2017, 06:30 PM

Got mine from ind today...looks great as you would expect. First pic is to help those of you with sakhir orange interiors be able to compare the colors...very similar in person IMO. Sorry for the crappy flash lighting.

gatorfast · 11-11-2017, 10:57 AM

Finally got my eBay red button and installed it last night. Super easy 10min install and looks great.

Aaaaaaaaa · 11-12-2017, 12:22 PM

Ordered this one off Amazon. In stock and and has Prime. Hopefully it’ll look as good as the one people have been getting.

I think I'll wait for the M3CS one to be available and draw comfort from the £100 price tag.

Here is my setup. The car definitely feel faster now. haha. (Red button from IND, Silver ring from EBAY)

HOF45 · 11-13-2017, 07:51 PM

Ordered from Amazon. Obviously from China but took less than 1 week to arrive with free shipping. Perfect fit and quality is equal to the oem button.

Yeah same for mine, but I can't even see it from my driving position.
