BMW Crystal Control Start Button Retrofit DIY - How To Replace Start Button On BMW F10 | BOND Garage

I've been a fan of the BMW Crystal Controls since they debuted in the X7 and been considering this mini mod since most of the coated BMW buttons will start to chip over time. The crystal style is my choice of look. There are plenty other colors on the market. Important is that those won't wear as the OE buttons will and you get a slightly different look.
In this video I'll demonstrate the installation of the Engine Start/Stop button and share my opinion on this crystal button. There are definitely things I'd rather have a little different but for less than $5 I shouldn't be too picky.
Got the part from aliexpress (not affiliated): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10050...

For the installation you'll need a T20 torx and 2 small screw drivers or picks to wedge out the button cover. Will take you less than 10 minutes overall.

Apparently, the putty needs to set for about 15 minutes. If anyone tried and can confirm this, that would be great.
