[QUOTE="timbach, post: 742058, member: 35183"] Found some interesting articles on how some fellow BMW owners retrofitted Paddleshifts (from Mercedes) on to their E39 / E38s. Apparently quite easy. ..... buy the Mercedes paddles off eBay (~100 USD), install the paddles onto the steering wheel (some cutting and drilling required) run 2 wires from the gearbox (Steptronic) to the new slip ring (also ~USD 100) and viola!! Has anyone done this retrofit here ? Or can recommend a mechanic to assist ? Particularly on the "install the paddles onto the steering wheel (some cutting and drilling required)" portion. Thanks!!
