I ordered one from them last week. I'm 6'3" and am nowhere near the factory knee rest. The top edge of the center console is killing my leg. I'll update as to how it is.

Great! Although I only 5'9" I don't sit that close to steering wheel nor knee pad. Looking forward to your experience with this mod. Thanks!

Is the OEM pad a snap-in fitment or is it held on with tape? If the former, I’ll get the IND version with blue stitching; if the latter, I’ll go with BM’s version.

I haven't received mine yet from BM but the OEM is snap in. However the thing with the BM is that it's much longer than the OEM and it has 50% more padding so they say. The IND one is the same size as the OEM one.

Its's snap in, like 5 clips. It's basically the original OEM part, just cosmetically they added the blue stitching with the crease in the center. I suggest you get the one from IND, it's the only sure thing.

I lost money trying to ordered it for different model years of the F87 2016 - 2018, only to realized its just not available with the blue stitching in the US anymore, anything short of prying it from a 2016 M2.

There is a guy on here who is trying to get rid of all the blue stitching in the car...not sure why, but hey...it's his car. I can't find the thread, but I think he was trying to sell his brake and shifter boots.
Anyway, I had already ordered and received mine from IND when I stumbled onto this guy, but he said he is willing to trade (straight up) his blue stitched version (he has non-LCI), for a black stitched version. I guess the first person to find him can do the swap.

It's very easy—we test fit our pieces to ensure an OEM fit and it took less than a minute to pop off the OE unit and fit the IND variant. We will do a DIY with detailed instructions as soon as possible!

But in the meantime...we also have another version available—this time in alcantara

So I received my new knee rest from bimmer master pieces the other day. Looks pretty good to me and it definitely has more padding in it. Hopefully will install this weekend. I have a 2018 thus no blue stitching on the oem pad

I'm in for the video. My IND knee pad arrives today, and I'm sure the installation is a breeze, but I'll hold off on installing until the DIY instructions are up. I'm just extremely gun-shy about indiscriminately yanking things apart in my brand-new car.

Thanks but I took this out, in my dark garage, with my finger nails (male). It's pretty self-explanatory; pop in/pop out . I do understand why you made a video though.. Thumbs up on the alcantara version!

Any verdict M3Guy? Let us know how you like the adhesive method and if the whole thing works well for you.
