Aftermarket paddle shifters

I guess this is basically a cosmetic mod, but I have a 328i baseline and want the M3 paddle shifters. I know you could do it on the E90 model with that kit from turner or whatever and the OEM BMW wheel with paddles...

Has anyone successfully added them or does anybody know how to?

I think you MUST have the sport transmission to do this..but they come standard with paddles.. so i do not think there will be a retrofit like the ones for 1 or e90's..

i still have a new e90 steering wheel i bought for the paddle conversion for my 135i i never used in my garage.

I found something that probably be what you're looking for over at Burger Motorsports... http://www.burgertuning.com/paddleshift.html

Only problem, though, is that it is for previous generations of the 3 series, as you mention in your post. You might want to contact them regarding it's adaptability to the F30.

Yeah, I was aware of that already but thanks. That is exactly what I am looking for except for the F30. Everybody says they don't know of any retrofit yet.

I did find this though, a wheel WITH paddles for $500. http://www.trademotion.com/shoppingc...6searchtext%3D

Problem is, I have no idea what other parts will be necessary. Also, I don't know if the connections are even going to be the same. I assume the harness isn't the same.
