100 dollars? Can you guys please link me to some websites that are selling the DCT Paddle shifters for this cheap? Or possibly cheaper than the 500 dollars from bmw?

If it's the same as the 235 wheel, then yes it should.

Where did you get yours from? Not sure if I'm too keen for the eBay one from Slovakia

It's got buyer protection, which I have had to use in the past and had no problems.

The seller relisted another one so i doubt his supply is a problem. You can wait for one of us to get it and confirm its not a scam.

Just arrived today in pristene condition. These are the real deal for sure. Now to get them installed...

Looking forward to it so I can order it as well

Hey guys, so my set of m6 paddles arrived. I successfully opened the airbag but when I went to open the steering wheel, no matter how hard i tugged the screw in the middle wouldnt budge. Anything im missing?

Have you tried using a socket wrench? I plan on following this install guide: http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showp...0&postcount=20

To undo the SW nut turn it CCW and CW when re-installing the SW.

So after a bit, I finally retrofitted the m6 shifters to my shifters and installed them! The left shifter feels nice and solid on shifts but the right feels mushy every time I up shift. Anyone have similar results?

den525 · 09-30-2015, 09:29 PM

Should of bought it off that guy on ebay... now his listing is dead

I just installed them today and they feel great. Haven't gotten to do much driving with them though. As to your question, maybe you installed the spring wrong? Or if the little cylindrical bit (the one connecting the paddle to the electronics) isn't properly fitted, it will feel weird on shifts.

dphjr · 09-30-2015, 09:59 PM

Also as a side note, I didn't have to take the wheel off. Just removed the airbag, unscrewed the paddles, and retrofitted the m6 ones onto the old connectors.
