Thanks. Yeah there is a single screw (not supplied) that attaches each paddle to the steering wheel. I didn't take a picture of it, but if you look at the second photo, I drilled a hole through that exposed metal and used a screw and washer to attach the paddle from the front side.
Sorry for not listing the part numbers, I'm having trouble posting and editing threads, so I wasn't able to add it to the post above, but here are the part numbers for the slip ring and paddles:
AMG Paddles: 1712670046
BMW Slip Ring: 61318379091
I referenced these two threads before tackling the job:
HowTo-> Paddle shifters from Mercedes on a E38 and yes it works! (long)
DIY: Harness for SMG paddle shift retrofit (for steptronic auto) - E46Fanatics
The second thread lists the part numbers you will need for the wiring harness. If you are using the AMG paddles, you will have to get another 2-pin connector to attach the paddles to the slip ring. I didn't get one but had a one lying around that I rigged to work.
