Red start/stop button

[Aaaaaaaaa]

Got my button from Amazon. Has a very slight paint dimple on the "N" of the ENGINE but not that bad. Perfectionists maybe should order from iND maybe their supplier is different.

Update: did a quick test install on my F36 and looks great. No light bleeding. Easy install even for the most ham fisted Individual.

I got one from Amazon as well. It looks mint with only one dot of light bleed on the top edge. I can't imagine the markup on these. The box was labeled made in China. The landed price is probably only a few bucks.

Probably a few cents

If it's injection molded you'd be surprised how much those molds cost.

They have to sell quite a few pieces to make their money back unless they got their hands on the generic mold from BMW (which they probably did).

Is there such a cosmetic mod?

You mean like this...

Well we also don't want the rest of the interior from the Chrysler left over parts bin.

Alfa hasn't been making cars long enough for there to be recalls

Total Annual Sales in 2016:

BMW NA: 254,150
Alfa Romeo: 441

They didn't have to recall them - they were still parked in the sales lot going nowhere.

This is fun

Obviously you’ve never actually sat in a Quadrifoglio. Coming out of a Full Leather F80, all I can say is the Alfa is a notch better...plus, as a bonus, you don’t have to listen to the piped in fake engine sound, nor buy Chinese parts off of Amazon.

Obviously you haven't heard of sarcasm

Everything's made in China anyway

Anyway enjoy it bro. Lack of manual and incentives to lease are deal breakers for me personally but I have to settle for partial leather so I'm poor.

I'd hate to that guy that buys a new Alfa then spends his time on a BMW forum barking at the night trying to convince everyone it's the best.

Getting this thread back on topic....love my new red button! Can't wait to get it on the dyno to see how much it puts down!!!

Used this video to walk me through it--easy peasy:

Ha same with me. Steering wheel blocks it.

But your passenger can. That's all that counts.
