FYI, my 2012 X5 50i with sports package came with paddle shifters. Might be easier to retrofit it now...

I have just started using the bmwcoding website to change settings on my car. Actually I think in part it will have to do with the new software coming from BMW that can handle the fact that the 2012 has paddle shift. This should be doable but will require a guru from bmwcoding to help (I am a newb at this). Given what I see, it would need to be an option that can be set using INPA EDIABAS - something like "lenradshaltung = aktiv" (just guessing so please dont assume this exists)

I will try to look for an article that teaches you how to retrofit paddle shifters to the x5 and i don't think you need to code it. The only thing you have to do first is move the gear shift leaver to the sport mode and then it's equivalent to upshifting and downshifting with the lever but with the paddles. I read it a long time ago and considered it. let me do some digging and get back to you guys.

The module will have to be coded for the paddle shifts to work. The code will not be in your X5 as they only just started to come with paddle shifts. If you have added the module and it is wired correctly then the module will need to be added to you VO, then the code download and then activated. You may even need a FSC to activate it also - not sure?

is there any reason why this Coding customization would be any different then the other mods out there? Ex. on my E53 4.8is i had the coding updated to remove the air ride suspension.
on my E60 550i i was going to add paddles, but ended up selling it first. but it was feasable. I have the X5M steering wheel, i liked the look better, so it has paddles already, so i'd like to activate them if possible. on this subject the Steering wheel subjet, i had the steering wheel on my 07 E70 X5 4.8 and recently purchased a 11 X5 50i Msport. According to BMW, the Msport = htd steering wheel delete, even though i have cold weather package. so i'm hoping when i install the X5M wheel with htd option that it will just work, or is coding required? I also have Lane Departure, so i have to tackle that too, the steering wheels are different, not sure whats different/where the vibration feature is located. The X5M does not have Lane departure. Would be nice if there was a sticky on the forum for factory added Mods and how to's in this regard. So we don't have to read through pages and pages of post to get to the point.

so did anyone manage to get paddle shifter retrofitted to the X5 E70?
I mean especially since the paddle shifter is a factory option. I have the M steering wheel without paddle shifter (2011) and would have love to have the paddles. If only the gear level did not feel like a cheap piece of plastic about to break each time I use it, I'd be fine without the paddle but I hate using the flimsy plastic gear lever for manual shifting. Even better I'd love to have an M button  To get a stage higher than the DS mode, which shift a little early to my taste.
