M3 OEM steering wheel+paddles (mod)

Prodipper · 04-27-2012, 12:58 PM

I can say it's been several months since I installed the M3 DTC (fully functional paddle shifter) steering wheel on my 328i

This thing is a lot of fun but anyway hope you guys enjoy the pics!

Special Thanks to Yakev724 for doing my harness install and of course making the harness to make this work amazingly!!

*** You also get a shot of the Enterpriser Space shuttle as it was headed to JKF airport ;-) I just happen to be around the right place at the right time.

Looks very nice! You should wrap your trim to complete your interior.

bucket328 · 04-27-2012, 01:06 PM

Okay, you have made my mind up finally! M tech bumpers and black vinyl for the roof!!

Car looks sick man!!!

Duck360198 · 04-27-2012, 02:02 PM

That's awesome! That's fully functional?!?! I had no idea we could do that with our cars. Is that an easy mod?

Well done!

Enjoiyourlife · 04-27-2012, 02:12 PM

Love the trim piece on that wheel.

BMWLove86 · 04-27-2012, 02:22 PM

Yes how can I do this for my 335i?

iBoost · 04-27-2012, 02:22 PM

Wow this is the only interior where I actually like the wood trim!

nice

I thought about that last summer bought all the necessary materials for it but I'm still debating on it :-)

Yes is fully functional, you do need a harness for it thought which connects to enable the paddles. look it up theres a few DIY around in the forum on it.
Well done!

Thank you!

I was debating on where to keep the simple black trim but I had to continue the alcantara going

Buy the steering wheel with the paddles and let me know I can send you a harness plus DIY.

Nice shots!

waterp7 · 04-27-2012, 03:30 PM

How did you get the LCI headlights to work with your Pre-LCI? Nice car.

CPWINCH · 04-27-2012, 04:15 PM

your car is perfect, love what youve done

AddictedToBavarian · 04-27-2012, 05:03 PM

So you're car wasn't equipped with paddles originally, correct? I'm interested in this...

wdeerfield · 04-27-2012, 05:05 PM

nice! i wonder if i can just update my paddles so the left is down and right is up shift.. hmmm

CJ421 · 04-27-2012, 05:11 PM

Love your car man. The wheels, exhaust, interior ... beautiful. OEM+. Also like your photography style. You must have an interesting lens to get that focus in the first pic.

Cool shot of the space shuttle.

Bravo!

No my car was never equipped with paddles originally, get your self the steering wheel then pm yake724 for the harness that you will need and of course do your research on here for the DIY.

Thank you very much for the kind words. I shoot with a canon 5d mark II and that first shot was taken with a 17-35mm f2.8 L series lens mark II, the rest were take with a 70-200mm mark II.
Glad you guys enjoyed the pics!

How do I change my name to JealousJim. I really like what you have done with this mate. It is just what I want to achieve with my car. It is still OEM but looks purposeful due to the perfect (IMHO) stance and the mods are subtle and tasteful but still stand out. Good job.
