Where to get an M3 Paddle shift Steering Wheel
 

The dealer will not sell them due to liability issues with air bag system. They will only sell the steering wheel and install them themselves, and only to the car that came with that particular model.:dunno:
I really wanted to do the conversion on my X5 but can't get hold of one....
Any suggestions???

The owner of the site, Vince, does installs in the L.A. area.

You may want to give these folks a try. I have no experience with them so I can't give you any insight. But whatever you decide to do, I'm sure all of us will be interested in hearing about it. Good luck!
