E92 good quality replacement paddle shifters

Raghza · 10-28-2022, 05:58 AM

Hello

I'm looking to replace the OEM cheap-feeling paddle shifters on my LCI 335i with something made of metal that would feel and look solid and go with the rest of the interior.

There are a lot of options, but I'm looking for pics and opinions on what have been fitted that people are pleased with?

What I'm looking for:
1) Made from metal not plastic or something else
2) Silver (to go with the DCT gearbox trim) or black/dark gray
3) Bigger than the original paddles but not oversized
4) Without any holes or other "design" elements

I read that the F-series M paddles should fit? Is there an OEM-style aftermarket replacement for those as the original ones are really pricy?
However they are a bit thin and sharp looking, so I think something in the style of E92 M3 would go better.

So what have you got? Pics and opinions would be awesome

If the link doesnt work, Nelson Racing has what you want. Except they do have holes...

Thanks, I really like that they promise this satisfying "click" on the gear changes, but the design is just a bit too much for me.

Maybe consider the Pre-LCI paddles then? Not sure if they would be a plug and play with an LCI steering wheel or not. But they are chrome and I personally prefer them over the LCI look.

I'm looking for something made of solid metal and that wouldn't look out of place in an E92.
99% of the aftermarket paddles seem to have "holes" in them, which I'm not a fan of.
Something like this (minus the carbon fiber and red) would be great:

I also don't want to pay the price of the OEM E92 M3 paddles, although they look pretty much what I'm looking for.

These are already almost what I want, except I don't like the sharp corners, they don't flow with the rest of the interior.

M3 paddles do fit, right? Because if they do, I think I found it:
