Ive heard these require drilling?

Anyone care to shed light on the procedure or a way to do it w/o drilling?

Have you checked out the DIY section? I have the OEM aftermarket pedals and the "how to" section was great. I know there are some guys out there that did guides some for the ones that need drilling.

From my experience, I don't know that there is a way around it. You can drill the brake and clutch because there is a rubber cover that goes on them, and no one will see the holes once you put them back on when you return the lease.

As for the gas pedal, maybe you could order a new one when you return it? I don't know that it would be worth your time, but that could be an option if you really want the pedals.

And the dead pedal, well I don't know any way around that unless you used some heavy duty double sided tape, but I doubt it would hold.

Either way, good luck with it.

Even if it's a lease no one will see the drilling when you turn it in, except for the dead pedal if you do that. You can just remove the pedals and put the pads back on and it will look completely OEM. Of course, you could go with BMW performance pedals and you wouldn't have to worry about removing them in that case. BMW also has slip-ons that look really good as well, but they are more classy than they are sporty.

Not my first choice, but I used this stuff when I installed HID fogs on my E46. I attached the ballasts/ignitors to the inside of the bumper and they stayed up for 3 years. Just clean the surfaces first with some rubbing alcohol to ensure adhesion.
