Question About Pre-2011 to 2011+ Paddle Shifter Retrofit

m9bm · 07-30-2014, 03:00 PM

I bought this item:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221491852154

Does this include everything I need to swap from my chrome push/pull paddles to this newer 2011+ paddle?

Can I reuse the wiring and hardware?

Thanks

Nope, you bought only the paddles, without the actual paddle switch which you are going to need (the plastic housing where the paddles are attached to). Gonna be tough to find the paddle housing/switch by themselves.............

FYI, these are M3 paddles, not LCI paddles. What does current paddles look like? Are they the chrome push and pull style or the left pull down and right pull up type?

Mine are currently the chrome push/pull. I'm looking to get the newer pull only with the +/- signs.

So these are useless then?

I am pretty sure there is a DIY floating around here for a push/pull to right and left paddle swap.

Have you searched on Google referencing E90post?

Yes I did; however my question is about the chrome push/pull paddles to the M3 DCT paddle swap.

My question is can the DCT paddles be attached to my existing hardware after removing the old paddles? I know my current ones can be rewired.

I don't know if the M3 paddles will fit on my current switches.
