Who uses their paddle shifters?

Yup you use your thumps.... pull towards you for downshift push for upshift
BTW you need longer thumps nails to do that... Tell you manicurist to extend those two thumps nails.

By the way, any likes or dislike moving to the X6 from the X5?

If someone with a 2010 E70 would please chime in. I'll move the thread if the new X5s don't have paddle shifters.

Here's my 1000 mile post. All in all, I'm very happy. The rear visibility takes a bit getting used to though. Xoutpost.com - View Single Post - Introducing....cmyX6go

It's actually the opposite. Push forward to downshift and pull towards you to upshift. They changed that a few years ago. I'll play around with it some more, maybe I just need to develop some strength in my thumbs Thanks
