The M3 paddles are needed...rt for up and left for down shift and only allow pulling towards body!

Gotta play with the paddles abit more to get used to them...this car drives like a real BMW , as it feel firmly planted on the ground.

Off topic:

Did my first mod already...LUX H8 angle eye LED's in now...thinking of painted reflectors next...gotta get Sirius radio installed for 500.00!...unreal BMW charges 500.00 for coding essentially, since hardware already in place.

one other annoying thing I found is this, I bought a CPO car and was told no body or paint work...I found overspray on headlight assembly so I called the dealer very annoyed...they said they re-spray most front and rear bumpers on CPO cars to make them look new but the company didnt take the bumper off for the re-spray...pure laziness...they have now been fired by the dealership I bought from...I now have to take it in to autobody shop to get overspray off as it wouldnt look good when I sell the car eventually.

Otherwise, I am loving the car.

One other question for everyone, is there a good way to get scratches off of the burlwood trim?...also, can you repair scuff mark on leather seats by side bolsters on sport seats where many cars get the scuff marks?...thx.
FYI, I have an m-sport 335d and my paddles are as described...this explains why your trouble confused me . I was assuming that our paddles were only different aesthetically. Msport would likely be an easier retro than m3.

With regards to the other items in your post...
Lux is indeed a pain on this car.i had the same issue when I bought my car regarding the paint on the rear bumper. I eventually had it redone because it was a poor match. For the burlwood, I would try scratchx or plasticx. Scuffs are tough on leather depending on the depth of damage. I would try the detail & car care forum with an image of the damage.
