Item Interest

I am wanting to convert my Steptronic shifter to M3 type shifters but not wanting to pay the 500.00 price tag for these (http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...catalogid=4462).

Anyone know a better way to obtain these?

Thanks,
Chris

I believe thats just the retro kit which will allow non-equipped steptronic paddle cars to upgrade to a steptronic wheel w/ paddles.

In regards to the why, its partially because I enjoy using them like a DCT (left = down and right = up when pressed). I wired the steptronics to do this already but the DCT paddles dont require modifying the wiring to do this and, in my opinion, are 100x better quality than the plastic step shifters.

Im going to have to look up the part numbers on the DCT shifter from the new 1 series but I believe they are the same as they use in the M3 which will still be around that $500.00 marker

Can those of us with the standard paddles swap to the SMG ones?
