So as i said. Update the egs module but it seems like you need the software from v49<

Funny thing I updated all my modules now and when i did the dcs it updated ok. But loads of errors were up. Idrive stated tht dtc has failed abs has failed!!!! I was sh**tin it!!!!! Tried clearing with inpa but they wont go. So i tried dis57. After reading the codes it asked if i programed the dsc module then prompted me to re-colabrilate "pressure settings" then presto!!! All sorted. But that really threw me!!! Just a reminder to be carful!!!

nope my dde took 10 mins. remember done touch anything untill it says programming complete. some modules have one process where its complete after it gets to 100% but some have 2 stages where it goes 100% with a pause then the second stage starts. the dde is one of them.

you will be fine the dde was th longest for me at around 10 mins. i deffo feel better throttle response and it feels abit nippier since updating the dde.

also when updating the dde u must do the ekp and msd80 also as there related. the ekp is the fuel pump so its all linked.

I have OE paddles and they will work in D, using them just gives a temporary override, if you drive normally and don't touch them again for about 30 seconds they go back to full auto, or you can give the right paddle a long pull to do the same.

I very seldom bother with the paddles because they're only ever in the correct position to use if your driving on a straight road, if you turn the wheel more than 90° you suddenly find the paddles are in the wrong position to change gear again, they're a novelty that quickly wears off

Hi guys

I am a complete BMW newbie having just bought a 2007 335i Cabrio Auto.

My car has an M-steering wheel with the old-style gear shift paddles.

I know that the M3 style DCT paddles can be retrofitted but the question is, how simple is it? Is it just a matter of buying the DCT paddles off the internet and then getting someone at a BMW dealership to fit them? Is there anything else that is required?

Many thanks.

D.

Plug and play

Battery disconnect.
Drink tea (to allow time for the airbag voltage to deplete)
Remove airbag (you may need to pop some small holes in the wheel fabric to release the bag - just pop an Allen or Torx key in the depressions that you'll find by touching the front of the wheel. The key will trigger the spring clip to release the bag.
Unscrew the paddles.
Unplug paddles.
Reverse the procedure to fit the new ones - the airbag just pushes back on to the clips.

That's how mine worked anyway!

No need to get a BMW dealer involved - they probably wouldn't know how to do it! Or say that it's not possible.

Yes.

Having had both early ear and later paddle types, I prefer the earlier ear type with up/down on the same one, then you can change gear almost without thinking, even if you have a handful (or more) of lock on. Paddle type do look nicer though.

It is as easy as described above. You don't even need to unplug the airbag. The wire is long enough to move it out of the way so you can access the paddles. The M3 ones look/feel a lot nicer

Hi,
Looking for someone able to do the coding to enable paddle shifting in D- mode in North West.
My car is Jan 2007, and I can change the gears with paddles in DS only.

Note for anyone doing this mod. Where ever you read that it does not matter how you connect your 2 new wires. It is not true. It matters because it changes the way how the shifter works. I mean originally it upshifts when you pull, downshifts when you push away the shifter (pre-lci). If you change the 2 new wires they will work in the opposite way, as in downshift, when pulling towards yourself. For normal operation (as original) I recommend connecting the #2 pin from shifter to pin #4 in the plug that connects to slipring. While pin #3 from shifter to pin #2 in the slipring plug. I hope I remember this correctly.
If anyone is interested. Mine is 2006 330d and it does not shift in D (only in DS/M) using this mod.
