i dont think 330d had option for paddles in 2005 and 2006 hence why not one of them has them

Hey Sam,

wanna add this to the growing list of Upgrade fits i have planned for when i get my legs back

Understand what the limitations of this, but having had the paddles on my previous car, i do miss em. If you can do let me know what i need to get and better book me into a hotel near Halfords as my list is growing

but i have bought another 330d with many more extras than my one for sale. winter is coming and i needed heated seats etc so i got an 06 330d but no paddles. note. i did not only buy new car to have heated seats. it has more like front and back sensors electric seats folding mirrors factory xenons etc and nav. only thing missing is sunroof i think.

Adaptive cruise, Main beam assistance, sunroof, DAB to name a few but a better car though?

Locks on the car infront, brakes and accelerates as he does if following, set a distance behind etc, main beam assistance is basically turn your main beam on automatically and switches them off soon as a car approaches, Very handy but my favourite is adaptive lighting, corner lighter follows steering

More toys are always better!

Mine are usable in normal mode I don't need to swap to sport mode. all sport mode does it hold the revs.

Sure, if you can kindly start searching for Steering wheel with the paddle space or with paddles, that would be great.
If you want to butcher your own steering wheel, then we can try for that as well. But you will have to buy the paddles.

Excited about these mods!

Thanks

They are same. Make sure that you bought M sports steering wheel and not SE one.
Thanks.

Ok, spend sometime to read few thread and here is what I have gathered.
1- If your car is pre march 2007, then shifter will only work in D/S mode and not in D mode.
2- If you buy complete M sports steering wheel with pre-LCI paddles then you should follow one of the DIY mentioned in the post above.
3- If you add DCT paddles to point 2, then wiring is slightly different.
4- If you add LCI paddles then you will have to modify the paddles itself by removing resistors and doing some modifications.

I will have a pair of pre LCI paddles for sale next week, no wheel as I have just upgraded my paddles
