Barrique is an interesting color - in the same way artic is! I actually like both. Lose the pedals - and for $60 add some chrome extensions to the pipes - we have that on our SG 328xi - and it looks sharp. We have the sports package too with the same 17" wheels. Just lose the pedals!

Just my opionion - I think they detract from the clean interior of the car.

Forgot exactly, but more than $100, less than $200. The dead pedal is separate. I installed myself, not so hard if you are familiar with tools, but not so easy either.

The accelerator and dead pedal screw into ridged plastic, you have to pre-drill using the right bit, then you need the right size torx driver to screw in. You have to try and connect with the raised ridges. I missed a couple in the dead pedal.

There are no instructions at all with the pedals, you need to look around on the net to find them. The paper templates they furnish are a waste.

Nevertheless you have to be very careful with the corners. The screws go in at the corners and if you are off a little you won't grab the material. If I had to do it again I would use clamps to secure the pedals to the backing.

The brake pedal is made of steel, and furthermore is ridged. I've heard some people complain that drilling into the brake pedal is a bear, but it's not really if you bring the proper tools. The trick is to pilot the holes with a tiny bit, then to go in with the right bit. You'll need to use cobalt bits, not HSS. I had no problems there.

You'll need a set of needlenose pliers also. Once the torx screw is in, you'll need to grab from the back and threat the nut on.

I like the Barrique Red color, it's definitely different than most cars on the road.
