Shift Paddles on 325i

RUBER · 11-28-2006, 06:42 AM

Here in Europe the 325 is a very popular engine.
The automatic 6gear transmission is available, but NOT with shift paddles on the steering wheel!

Anyone knows whether you can buy these paddles separately and mount them onto the steering wheel + connect electric wiring?

At approx. which price if yes?

at this point, the most likely source is your dealership, as with any retrofit project, it'll cost $$$. IMHO, the paddles look cool, but it doesn't really offer that much of an advantage over your regular step. shifter

it's a rip-off, don't buy that

search around E46fanatics, there's a DIY on retrofitting paddles

it will cost a good bit of money, i would consult your dealer.

it would be cool though, i love the paddles of the 335i

easier and cheaper to buy a 335i wheel and add it to your vehicle....someone is selling it in the for sale section...$1200 or so
