Retrofit Flappy Paddles?

Hi All. First post here so Hello All.
I have a 2010 335d (E91) Touring. It came with the Single M3 Style paddles (I.e. Pull left to go down a gear and Pull right to go up a Gear). When deciding on the purchase my wife drove a car with the two way paddles (ie you can push either side to go down a gear or pull either side to go up a gear) and decided that if the car would have these then we would have this model as opposed to a manual 330d or a Manual 335i Anyway I have bought some two way paddles and followed the handy guide and fitted them but they do not work at all and prevent the sport mode from working, if i change the paddles back everything works fine. The M3 style paddles each have a three way connector but only use pins 1 and three, the two paddles use all three and I have tried wapping out all the pins to no avail. What I have discovered is the the down shift paddle and a low resitance (0.35k ohms) when pressed and the up shift paddle higher resistance (1.18k ohms), whereas the two paddles have no resistance at all. From this I conclude that later model cars work in a different way - I perhaps need to get hold of some resistors and try some investtagtions? any comments? cheers G. |

I have responded to your PM, but having seen the latest posts here by Gizard, he suggests the new switches change resistance rather than being open/ close, I think this means the newer switches [LCi] will not work with pre LCi cars without some coding if at all. PS Gizard are you also from the Isle of Wight? |

yes i have them working now, i got mine from nexon motors on ebay, the 1st set we could not get to work, i told nexon and he sent another set he said had been modifired , i took these to h+c motors in maidstone and he got them to work with some rewiring, cost me £80, which was well worth it.

I also mounted the LCI paddles on my 2010 320d. Had to remove both rezistors in each paddle and jump one of them with a small wire.
They work perfectly.

However I have not attempted and my plan is to attempt them like they came from factory. That may work in D mode as well.

Just a quick thought, I've got an aftermarket BT Kit, so the actual BMW buttons are useless to me, I was wondering if you could do a cheaper version of the mod using the two 'spare' buttons on the multi function? I know it's not ideal, but I might have a look. Anyone taken the multi function buttons apart? I take it that they aren't individually wired?
Oh reason I mentioned this, I'm struggling to get a wheel at a half decent price, so if anyone knows of anywhere good to get one let me know, ebay has a couple, but they are all manky and scuffed etc. |

Plan was to try it when I fit in your car but that has changed as you know.

Again if it is something that is cracked I'd be very interested in go having it sorted on mine. Chuffed to bits with the result thus far though |

im in the same situ, but i think it has somthing to do with the multifunction buttons, there different for cars without baddle shifters, and if you do the direct connection via the spare holes you essentially by by-passing the cars system that tells the modules the change in d mode.
i red the advert on the burgertuning site and it says. "PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING: We do not sell any OEM parts. In addition to the harness, install guide, and tech support we provide you with the OEM BMW part numbers required to complete the retrofit. After receiving our harness you will also need to separately purchase a paddle shift steering wheel (one with cutouts for paddles), the paddle shifters, and the exact steering wheel control module (buttons on the wheel) we list in the install guide." |
