Gas pedal differences

[itsonlygeorge]

I recently ordered a new gas pedal for my e30 and I realized after doing a little research that there's two different variations. One type has a larger plastic trim that looks like it holds the carpet in place, while the replacement one that I have and what was previously in my car does not have that. There is a gap in the carpet where crud gets under the carpet and collects at the metal gas pedal bracket. I cleaned up some surface rust but I was hoping that the replacement pedal would have the carpet trim.

The one with trim:


New replacement no trim:


New replacement w/trim:


I ordered one from blunttech but I found this on eBay:

if anyone knew why the differences are there and if there's a different part number, please chime in!

I thought it was a change with the facelift- I have one of each, one from an 87, one from a 90....
