Hey guys.... So I know I can't use m3 paddles but can I install the M3 wheel and fit my existing paddles to that wheel? I want the smooth leather and tri color stitching. Thanks!!

EuroTunerz5 · 10-29-2012, 12:07 PM

Anyone?

EuroTunerz5 · 10-29-2012, 07:12 PM

Since nobody wants to help a brotha out... I ordered an M3 wheel with the LCI m3 DCT paddles. If it doesn't work out I will return it

EuroTunerz5 · 10-29-2012, 07:15 PM

I will also try to fit our oem DCT n55 paddles so we will know the compatibility with the m3 wheel!

I35it · 10-29-2012, 07:27 PM

Looking forward to the results. Glad to see someone do it.

EuroTunerz5 · 10-29-2012, 09:36 PM

I def have balls to gamble on this at $550.... Praying it works out because I really love the tri colo stitching and nappa smooth leather.

Dackelone · 10-30-2012, 12:50 AM

I don't know about the paddles but I have an M3 wheel on my car. (6MT). I love it!

EuroTunerz5 · 10-30-2012, 06:11 AM

Yea I love that wheel and supposedly according to a BMW tech I know I can use my oem DCT paddles with the new wheel if the m3 paddles aren't working. I plan on trying them first though since some people have had zero luck with them and others on the e90 forums seem to have them work no problem.

Harlequin · 10-30-2012, 07:00 AM

I have the M3 wheel with the 135i DCT paddles:

Works perfectly.

Webb70 · 10-30-2012, 01:56 PM

That does look nice...

EuroTunerz5 · 10-30-2012, 10:42 PM

Now I'm super excited. Anyone have tips on how to remove the airbag on a 2012 m sport? I can't seem to see any holes like in most of the guides to put a flathead into to release it.

Harlequin · 10-31-2012, 12:55 AM

The holes are there. But they're not visible. The rubber is simply slit and behind that slit is a "tunnel" for a screwdriver.

Slide the tip of your index finger around the general area while applying gentle pressure. You'll feel an indentation.

Mr Kleen · 10-31-2012, 04:28 AM

There's a DIY around here somewhere, I used it to install my alcantara wheel. It's really easy, just take your time with the electrical connectors so you don't bend a pin.

EuroTunerz5 · 10-31-2012, 05:47 AM

Awesome thanks guys I was expecting the holes to be a bit more obvious...

EuroTunerz5 · 11-02-2012, 02:49 PM

You all are about to love me. I am about to make the m3 paddles work will e82 DCT platforms. Stay tuned..... Im super geeked!
