new M button color

I love my 1M and I love the M button.
But I didn't like how the M button blends in with the other buttons.
I thought it should stand out more so I decided to change the color.
I originally wanted to wrap with with red but my supplier didn't have any in stock. So I decided to give it a try with yellow.
But now that it's on, I'm kinda having second thoughts.. maybe I should take it off hahahah

I wish the tuners could figure out how to incorporate the M button so that the tune was actioned when the button was pressed.

I vote orange to match the stitching and orange starter rings(they will be ready to order and ship next week I swear!) of course.

Gloss 'polished' on left and Matte 'bead blasted' on the right:

Nice idea, as mentioned above, maybe an orange or something similar would be cool.

All of sudden I have a taste for some lifesavers.

The wrap will eventually wear down. I consider that with everything on a car....everything ends up being a wear item at some point...some quicker than others. I would imagine at 2-3 times a day, it would wear rather quickly. Red would look better...can you think of a better more perm solution.


Good job on the detail though...your detail is very clean!

Cool concept. Orange to match the interior would be ideal.

Maybe match the blue in the BMW logo. I think red would be cool during the day, but at night it wouldn't contrast with the lighting.

A+ for idea, but yellow doesn't work well with the rest of the interior IMO (unless you are Powerbeast ). Go for orange and while at it do the starter rim/ring.

I don't think I've had to wait this long for a rim job ever before J/K, thankful for all your hard work and devotion to detail, the wait will very much pay off I am sure, cheers again for doing it.

A RIM job is producing Blackberry smartphones for a living, of course.
