I read somewhere on here that a resistor would need to be soldered in to make the switch work but I don't know what size. The biggest drawback is that it is cost prohibitive to get a set of M3 paddles to experiment on. Has anybody tried taking apart one of the switches to see how it works? The M3 switches can be upgraded with a longer paddle like in this thread. Maybe ours are similar.

I think a better option would be to get one of the companies that make them for the M3 make them for us. BTW I think our switches are the same for X5, 3 series, Z4 etc. so there could be a bigger market than just the 135.
Just incase others are following this thread and have a set of M3 switches. Here are some measurements to compare to.
* Readings were taken across pins 1 and 2. The readings were the same even with the leads switched so I don't think think anything fancy is going on in there other than it's a switch.
- With the switch not engaged= 6.17 K ohms
- With the switch engaged= 1.18 K ohms
NOTE: I only tested one switch so I can't guarantee the other switch acts the same.
