G20 LCI Merino Leather Kneepads

Ghostsf30 · 10-20-2023, 01:35 AM

Decided to try to fit these. Being a taller person, that plastic piece gets pretty uncomfortable during long drives. Luckily, the leather wrapped kneepads found on G80/2/3’s with ful leather fit perfectly on the g20s. They are padded as well, so super comfortable for your knees!

These are for LHD cars
Part Numbers:
51169502519 - Drivers side, Black/Gray contrast stitching
51169502525 - Passengers side Black/Gray contrast stitching

Pretty Pricy all things considered, but your knees will appreciate them! 🤣… and they look nice.

By far one of the best mods I did early for my M340i. Real leather matching knee pads worth every dollar.

Looks great one of the first things I did too.

Out of interest, how did you remove the surround for the start stop button? I damaged mine installing the red start button and its still bugging me!

I dented the chrome plastic trim and it was bothering me as well haha. Removing it was a pain in the butt. I used this video. Skip to 1:02.

I’m not sure how he got it off so clean, but I ended up breaking the surround more getting it off. Was planning on replacing it anyways, so whatever I guess..

Well I am glad it wasn't just me... Ok interesting the video makes it look easy but sounds like it won't be! Thanks

Not really, there are some clips at the front that are a bit tricky, but if you have a trim removal tool it shouldn’t be difficult.

My car is in for service and my loaner has these knee pads with blue stitching.

This is definitely must have.

Part #s for Black / Blue Stitching are:

# 51-16-7-911-033 (Driver)
# 51-16-7-911-035 (Passenger)

Still one of my top first mods

Ghostsf30 · 12-16-2023, 05:07 PM

Also recently found some more variations.

Black with Red stitching
Canberra Black / Gray stitching (can’t tell)

Will try to find some part numbers for these

mondayze · 12-16-2023, 07:01 PM

Wheres the mocha colored ones lol

MilesToEmpty · 12-18-2023, 11:41 PM

I’d love these but I can’t see them being $400 for the set Shesh.

Kerbouchard · 12-20-2023, 11:36 PM

Guessing there’s someone out there that could making custom matching leather pads for less than $400…

In my Volvo days there was a shop making custom leather armrests (since pretty much every Volvo armrest from 2008 to 2017 was total crap).
