So...when you're done, you end up with paddles that shift only one way, right? I have that on my M3 steering wheel that I retrofitted into my E46 328ci but I actually like the stock paddle function on the E9x better. To each his own.

What got me onto this thread was a search for Nexon Motors. I was looking at their aluminum finish (perlglanz chrome) SSG paddles they were selling. I like them better than the stock chrome ones. These are apparently out of the E71/72 (X6) but are supposed to fit the M Sport and M steering wheels for the E9x.

Any experience with these??
