Looks like my throttle pedal is giving up on life. The plastic hinge at the bottom has decided to call it quits. Time to give ECS more of my money.

I prefer FCP Euro. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-accelerator-pedal-module-35426786282

ECS pisses me off with their ground shipping bullshit. If I pay 10$ for ground shipping I want FedEx or UPS not USPS damnit.

It’s a wash for me. FCP Euro has free shipping but ECS plus $10 shipping is the FCP price.

Ya FCP usually doesn’t ship right away for the free shipping. ECS just really pissed me off cause I live 4hrs from their warehouse so sometimes I pay the 10$ to upgrade to ground but then if they decide to ship it USPS it takes 3-4days to show up vs 1day from fed ex or ups.

Their official policy is ground shipping is any shipment method that takes 2-5days. Which I think is dumb because the post office blows.

I’ve seen this happen a lot on E36s and E46s... It hasn’t yet happened to my E36 M3... I should buy a spare

Park the car with keys and title on passenger seat. Tell me where. Say good bye to your car. I’ll dispose of it for you in accordance with local laws and regulations

FCP euro has a lifetime warranty on all parts, that makes it a little more worth it for me.

Yeah, it’s honestly crazy. You can send back used brake pads and they will send you new ones lol. People send them oil back all the time.

I’m being entirely serious. Look it up! I didn’t believe it at first, either.

I just read it. Good lord. Might be an FCP regular now, depending on when I get rid of my E46.

Thankfully nothing has been breaking for me so far, but i’ll definitely be using them whenever I need to. The prices are usually pretty good too. I believe they price match.
