Hi guys really need some help please I bought a m3 2009 dct steering wheel and swapped it with my se paddle shift steering wheel in my 2007 e92 but the paddles are not working I though the m3 paddels are straight swap? Can someone provide me with some info please how to make this work? Thanks in advanced

It should be plug n play! You sure you never damage any of the wiring?

No seems to be all ok and didn't touch the wires confused

the paddle wiring on the 07 se works up and down on both paddles? the m3 paddles work left down right up. the se paddles have 3 wires the m3 only 2. (on the se paddles you have a ground, 1 wire shifts up the other shifts down, on the m3 you have a ground and 1 wire to shift down- left and up- right so you need to move the wires around till you get the correct function.you need to move the wires in the m3 plugs so that each paddle has only one function each. I have done this but cant remember where the wires have to go. do a search on the US cosmetics thread im sure there is a wiring diagram on there.

I had a brand new m3 wheel & paddles in my pre LCI and they worked fine, without any wiring change! The problem is when you have the M3 paddles in a LCI!

Very strange!?

Ok update on this guys Iv managed to sort the paddle issue realised I had to swap the controls too in order to make the paddels work, have another issue now tho air bag light has come on I think because I disconnected the battery as a precaution, how can I reset this? Thanks
