Finally, M3 DCT Paddleshift...

Bimmer325 · 07-30-2008, 10:15 AM

Done this today, works like a charm! just cant stop flipping the Alu paddles like never before!

i never like M shifting as it was a hassle, to me at least! this M3 steering is thick to grip and the M gear knob fits in my hand nicely making gear changing to a next level....

also added some PIAA license plate LED, now looks more lively at nights...

whoa! thats a really cool pic of the license plate lights!

ctgazer · 07-30-2008, 10:17 AM

do the paddles actually work? wow...impressive along with the actual shifter too

Bimmer325 · 07-30-2008, 10:28 AM

yep, got to get the wiring done properly. and they work they way it should!
done by a professional guy together with the Illuminated M gear knob..

the gear knob LED lights up at R, N, -/+ induvidually when you engaged. as when you engage in M mode, the -/+ lights up even brighter...
