Paddles or seats but not both?

amontobin · 11-16-2018, 07:07 AM

Still hunting for my next 335. Seen a couple that have paddles but not sports seats or sports seats but no paddles. Are these sports packages or just ones that people picked specific single items?

aahh gotcha lol just thought I give a third option in case you hadn't thought about it.

I wonder if he means you can get the sports package plus add in the paddles as an option??

Isn't there a DIY somewhere that has people adding paddles later on? that could be an option as well?

Yes, I have seen a couple models with sports seats but no paddles, and models with no sports seats with paddles. Just seeing if they were fake sports or some shit lol.

Yes search function I know i promise I used it haha. It does however not answer the question. That just shows people CAN add either. I am asking if BMW gave like À la carte type options when selecting the sports package or if it's all or nothing. Or if people had the choice to order sports seats without the sports package.

Just wanted to ensure that you know you could add them without much difficulty. I don't think the sport seats were an option typically bought alone.

Ya for sure, I don't see why anybody would, just curious.

Overpriced?

TemjinX2 · 11-16-2018, 03:26 PM

paddle shifters was a separate option you could order from the factory...you didn't need the sports package to get it. you could also verify if it has the sports package by look for the oil cooler vent in the front inner fender or the oil filer lines going to the oil filter housing.

racermp · 11-16-2018, 06:23 PM

I believe you can just swap out the steering wheel with one with paddles. I think it's just plug and play. They are getting cheap these days.

S65Hunter · 11-16-2018, 08:30 PM

If it were me, I'd buy a car with sport seats and then retro-fit the sport steering wheel with paddle shifters. It would be much cheaper and easier than the opposite.

coochjr · 11-16-2018, 09:05 PM

I actually have a 335 with sport seats and paddles I guess I'm lucky lol

unrulyteach · 11-17-2018, 12:39 AM

No, I have seen plenty of coupes without sports seats or steering wheel. Also I believe that 2007 coupes even with sports package have no oil cooler.
