P.S. I am in no way affliated with Ultimate Pedals, just want to get a good price for myself and fellow BF memebers on these awesome pedals.
BAHNBRNR 04-25-2005, 11:05 PM I would be interested in a Frosted, Antislip Gas, Brake, Clutch, Footrestw/Full Flange, and ///M3 logo engraving. Ultimately, it all comes down to final price. Keep us posted.
sardil 04-25-2005, 11:18 PM For 35% off, I'm in.
You should post a new thread, with clear details and a running list.

1 year later, you still haven't made up your mind!?!?
The pricing is 35% off.
I don't see the pricing on the site :( Where can I find it? It'd be cool to have your name engraved on your pedals.
zx6rr 04-26-2005, 11:17 AM Looks like there is some interest in this groupbuy, let's hope we get the 10 needed to get this going. Will start a new groupbuy thread as soon as I get approval from board admin.
M3inNC 04-26-2005, 11:19 AM I'd be in for the clutch, brake, and lower heel-and-toe gas pedals in the frosted anti-slip.
We will never get 10 people to agree on the exact same pedal sets with so many options and combinations available. But for 35% off I'd be willing to be flexible.

What he said. I'd be interested in brake pedal and extended gas pedal in anti-slip. I'm willing to be somewhat flexible but if the engraving and other disco eats up the 35%, then there's not much point.

sardil 04-26-2005, 12:39 PM I assumed the group buy meant 10 pedals for the same make? Can someone call to verify that they need to have the same exact options??
I'm in for the frosted anti-slip set.
NakNak 04-26-2005, 01:22 PM I'm confused on the pricing :( How much is it for the gas, clutch, stop, deadpedal, all with anti-slip and the heal toe thing?

zx6rr 04-26-2005, 09:21 PM Thanks for posting up the prices Sardil :thumbup:
OK Guys, we have the board admin's approval for this groupbuy to proceed and I have more information from the vendor which will answer some of the questions you guys have. However, I am still waiting to hear back from them on the actual start/end date of the groupbuy and other minute details. Here is what I have for now:
- We will be getting a 30% discount for 10 orders and 35% for 20 orders.
- Discount only applies for pedals, not engraving.
- Having three (3) letters or numbers engraved is an extra $10 per pedal. Having a logo or emblem engraved is an extra $15 to $25 (depending on the complexity of the engraving) per pedal. They can also engrave initials or custom emblems etc etc.
- All orders are "custom" and so we only need a minimum of 10 BMW pedal orders to get the 30% groupbuy discount. This means everyone can choose their own pedal options/finish.
- Shipping charges are typically ~$12 (UPS Ground within the Continental US).
Let's get a list going for now until I hear back from Ultimate Pedals, which should be very soon.

zx6rr 04-27-2005, 01:30 PM GROUPBUY DETAILS:
Latest update from Ultimate Pedals:
All the pedals do not have to have the same finish, engraving, or with/without heel toe gas extension or footrest, but do need to be for a BMW.
All model BMWs are fine (3,5,7,8,Z etc...) so do please spread the word around!!
Ultimate Pedals is a machine shop in Southern Florida and have a line of racing pedals that they manufacture in house.
They custom make every order so customization is no problem.
In additional to pedals made specifically for your vehicle, they offer custom engraving, heel toe gas pedal extensions, heelguards, door sills, etc.
At this time they would like offer a group buy.
(This is going to be quite long, but for some of you this is your first GB so I am going to explain it all very thoroughly)
Basically you can buy any of their products for the BMW and get 30% off if we get a least 10 orders, and 35% off if we get at least 20 orders.
They offer a no questions asked moneyback guaranteed if you are not satisfied with the fit or finish.
Now down to the nitty gritty.
Having three (3) letters or numbers engraved is an extra $10 per pedal...Having a logo or emblem engraved is an extra $15 to $25 (depending on the complexity of the engraving) per pedal. They can also engrave initials or custom emblems etc etc.
The pedals will have the discount, any engravings will not.
The engravings look like what you would see on the back of a watch or inside a ring NO COLOR IN THE ENGRAVING, it is just an engraving.
You can view engraving examples at the following link (scroll down to the bottom of the page):
http://www.ultimatepedals.com/pedal.htm
The group buy is active as of now, and the last day for ordering is MAY 14th (I know this is late but they want to give everyone two pay days in order to get in on it).
The items will be shipped May 20th. (All pieces have to be custom made and depending on how many orders it may be the 23rd but they are shooting for the 20th.)
Shipping charges are typically ~$12 (UPS Ground within the Continental US).
So now that all that stuff is done, How do I get my Discount?
Preferably, if you have a pretty straight forward order, please use their website.
Their BMW line can be viewed here:
http://www.ultimatepedals.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=16
Specify your vehicle, the bimmerforums group buy, as well as any engraving options during the checkout process when you are asked to indicate year, make, and model.
If you don't mention the bimmerforums group buy you'll get your pedals quickly, but not discounted.
Also, with the website you won't see the discount automatically, and you will get a confirmation email pretty quickly. That email will not have the discount applied to it, DONT WORRY....You are not charged until the items are shipped, and the set up of their software cannot compute a discount, it has to be manually accounted for. So when the items are ready to be shipped, you will get two more emails. The first email will be from their merchant bank and will let you know that your card has been charged the discounted price.
The second e-mail will be from UPS Quantum View (for the US orders) with your order's tracking number.
You can also call Ultimate Pedals at (561) 451-2623, please try to use their website unless you really hate internet shopping or you have a custom order, it takes up a lot of manpower to answer questions by phone.
Please post any questions in this thread, I will answer questions as quickly as possible.
I should point out Ultimate Pedals is not a BMW product, but hey neither is bimmerforums, so its all good.
Sorry for the very lengthy instructions, but I hate when there is not enough info.
PLEASE POST WHEN YOU HAVE MADE AN ORDER, AND JUST SAY HOW MANY PIECES YOU ORDERED (1, 4, ETC ETC).
sardil 04-27-2005, 01:43 PM Perfect.
Can anyone post this on E46fanatics.com? Maybe even DTMPower?
We should be at 10 order in no time. :)
zx6rr 04-27-2005, 02:07 PM Now that the groupbuy is active, I will start a new list, only add yourself to the list when you have placed an order.
What happens if we do not get the required 10 buyers at the end of the groupbuy on May 14th? (Unlikely IMO but just in case)
Typically each person places their order anytime before the end of the group buy.
If they don't get at least 10 orders they can either:
- extend the group buy to allow more people to participate
- offer a lower discount (5 orders would qualify for a 25% discount)
But let's definitely shoot for the 35% discount!! It will be great if you guys can help spread the word amongst the various BMW forums, mailing lists, etc.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

sardil 05-12-2005, 09:52 PM Sooo close...come on people!!!!!
M3inNC 05-14-2005, 02:11 PM Just two more people to get a 30% discount. Let's make it happen!
05ZHP 05-16-2005, 01:30 PM update on gb???
I just signed up and bought the car this past weekend. Ill jump in on the dead pedal, clutch,brake,gas.
all 4 would be shiny anti-slip.
zx6rr 05-16-2005, 04:49 PM Still not too late, please place your order ASAP!
I emailed the vendor on May 14th, the day which the groupbuy ends but have not heard back from them yet. Hopefully, we can get 10 buyers for the 30% discount before I hear back from them.
05ZHP 05-16-2005, 09:24 PM can I place two seperate orders to make ten?
one order for brake and clutch
the next for dead pedal and gas
sardil 05-17-2005, 11:34 AM can I place two seperate orders to make ten?
one order for brake and clutch
the next for dead pedal and gas
No clue, but you should place your order ASAP!!!!!
zx6rr 05-17-2005, 04:33 PM Hey guys, I heard back from the vendor and they currently have 8 confirmed orders so far, might have 9 if 05ZHP places his order. Our two options are:
1) extend the group buy till we get 10 orders
2) manufacture and ship the orders with a 25% discount.
Let me know what you would like to do. We are sooo close, we need only 1 or 2 more buyers to get the 30% discount, please spread the word!!!
sardil 05-17-2005, 04:55 PM If 05ZHP orders, I say we wait till Sunday to get the final order in?
If we're all impatient, I'm equally down for for 25% off.
M3inNC 05-17-2005, 06:00 PM I don't mind waiting until we get 10 people signed up. Has anyone posted a link of this GB on DTM power or any of the other BMW forums? Surely we can get two more people to jump on this.

I'd like to get my pedals. 25% off is ok with me!
Cannibal 05-17-2005, 11:11 PM I'd like to get my pedals. 25% off is ok with me!
For me:
35% off is $123
30% off is $133
25% off is $142
Guess I'd rather wait for 20 people for the most savings, but 25% is doable too. So, I guess it all maters what everyone else wants to do, I'm flexable. $19 isn't bad to get them soon.

zx6rr 05-17-2005, 11:54 PM Let's wait till Friday and if we do not get 1 more buyer by then, we will settle for the 25% discount, sounds fair?
3 more days to get 1 more buyer!!!

Anybody get a tracking number, yet? :confused
I got the UPS email from Ultimate Pedals two days ago. Didn't click the link for the tracking number but it had estimated delivery date 6/3.

dvs //m3 06-05-2005, 12:07 PM Got my pedals on Friday - they look great. Same finish as Sardil's.
Thanks for putting together this groupbuy
Put mine in yesterday. They look awesome and heel-and-toeing is much easier now. Just bought a house so this will likely be the last mod I do for a while, and it was a good one. Thank you zx6rr and Ultimate Pedals!! :)
