Can you easily fit paddle shifters on an pre-2007 car (mine is a 2006)?
Does the box have to be in "DS" for the paddles to work?

Not sure on retro fitting. Sure someone will come along and advise shortly. I think I recall you can but think its a bit complicated.
Yes, though to paddles only working in ds. If you do decide I have a nice standard 335d complete with paddles for sale soon ![]()

you can do it but you need a seering wheel and paddles and a wiring loom (or you can make one up) there are a few threads on how to fit the paddles. the paddles should work in Ds or D as the factory fit. ive got a virtually new wheel and paddles for £150 you can look on ebay or google Burgertuing for the loom.

Its not fitted yet, Just sitting in the box
![]() ![]() Not sure wether to swap the paddles for LCI ones or DCT ones. I'm indifferent. Not sure also to go with the M Sport trim from my leather wheel, or get the Alcantara trim from BM? |

![]() Bassically the problems with Alcantara wheels is sweaty/greasy hands. Not reccomended for those peeps. As the wheel goes, Technical term. manky. however with a bit of maintenance they stand for 10yrs plus. Also Jeffy pie, PERCHLOROETHYLENE is reccomended for cleaning. Which I know a thing or two about. ![]() But, in fairness I had already decided to keep the Leather M wheel as a back up. Just to be on the safe side. |

these should remove 90% of your stains, should you have any. As there is also reccomendations for different chemicals for different stains. However, The perk i was reffering to is a dry clean chemical used by dry cleaners, In which case you would have to take the wheel to a dry cleaner for spot treatment. ( but this is worst case scenario) Also check over on detailingworld for some handy advice. Oh heck look ill find the link for you hang. http://int.alcantara.com/#/en/menu/t...ry_maintenance http://int.alcantara.com/uploadedFil...structions.pdf Also there are vids online for maintenance on the performance wheel.... Or failing this you could always sell it to me ![]() regards. |
