M3 DCT Paddles on M Sport DCT Wheel?

I am looking to upgrade my steering wheel and was wondering if anyone knows if the M3 DCT paddles fit on the M Sport DCT steering wheel.

the M3 paddles are shaped differently, but are slightly smaller than the regular paddles, so you might be able to fit them. Highly NOT recommended because it won't be a snug fit. I fit the regular paddles into the M3 steering wheel but had to cut out some rubber to do so.

Yeah, the mounting area cutouts are different so modification would be necessary and not likely to be a good fit.

They fit fine and bolt in nice and tight, the back of the steering wheel and the hole are a little different shape, so there is a bit of a gap once installed. You can't really see the gap from anywhere, but if it bothers you, you can use some black silicone or urethane to fill in the gap to make it look better - doesn't affect the functionality or solidness of the mounting as it is the metal bar under that paddle that positions it and holds it solid.
