BORING Sports steering wheel --->M3 Steering Wheel with DCT Extended paddle shifters

uberbeast21 · 12-10-2013, 09:05 PM

sorry to revive an old thread but just to clarify, this seems weird to me but if i buy an m3 wheel with the dct + and - i can just put it onto my car replacing my current sports wheel with the horrible push and pull paddles? seems odd that if i understand correctly it is pnp for me but not for someone with the + and - as standard

If yours is pre-LCI, then it's straight up PnP, if it's LCI, then you need to rewire them.

Yea if yours is the old push and pull on both side then, it's PnP, if yours is the - and + then it not PnP and you have to rewire them

I have a 335is with the DCT transmission I was wondering if these extended paddles would work. I love the look

.fLip. · 12-14-2013, 12:12 PM

looks good. any more pics of your interior?

KungPaoChickenZ · 12-14-2013, 10:41 PM

there you go, the most recent pics, enjoy!

Another thread revival!

Where to buy the extended paddles — the whole PnP unit? I've seen threads that are the paddles alone, but I have a feeling that's not enough to make the conversion from push-pull to left-right — unless I'm misunderstanding just how PnP these are w/the M3/Performance DCT steering wheel ...

Thanks a ton for the info and pics. I had no idea you could do this until I stumbled on this thread recently.

Any links how to do this?
My car is pre LCI and the steering wheel is from LCI. To make sure I did order M3 DCT flaps from ebay...
I am using Burger wires for swap.

I think if you search "Steering Wheel paddle shifter M3" there are lots threads about it, sorry I couldn't give you a link,

Kalulu, how do you like the extended paddle form factor? Do they ever get in the way of operating any of the stalks?

This is indeed the best mod ever, the whole thing cose me only $480. now the paddle is left-downshift right-upshift, I have a sport wheel with push/pull paddle shifters for sale, let me know if anyone wants it~~~
1st pic: old wheel with regular paddle but CF wrapped.
2nd pic: regular M3 DCT paddles --> M3 DCT extended paddles swap
3rd pic: preping the M3 wheel for swap
4th pic: view from behind the wheel
final pic: just had to take a picture of the final product~~~ and share it with u guys~~~~ or else i wouldnt be here to just TEASE u guys~~~

Were u able to drive in sport mode still?? Thinking about doing this

What am I missing?

If you push in on the left or right side it should down shift.

If pull in on the left or right side it should up shift.

At least that's what all the sport paddles do that I've driven/owned.

EDIT-Just realized this is an old thread. UGH LOL
