Have a couple things to report.
My last personal project at IE was designing an accelerator pedal for the 2002. I have never been a fan of the stock pedal and wanted something a bit more robust.
Design inspiration came from the original pedal Alpina outfitted to a number of their 2002 and E9 race cars. Fortunately, a friend had one and he was kind enough to send me its dimensions.

The new design incorporated compact roller bearings and a same-as-factory pivot point and pedal height. Additionally, there was a matching reinforcement plate that would go under the car and sandwich the floor pan sheet metal.
Unfortunately these features didn’t make production, however the retail price dropped to about half of what I projected.

Here is the link to the final piece.
