If you already have the steptronic paddles it is fairly straight forward. I retrofitted the M3 paddles to my car (I did not have any paddles) following this guide:

For replacing the steptronic paddles with the M3 paddles you would:
- Disconnect the battery
- Disconnect/remove the steering wheel airbag
- Remove the steptronic paddles
- Install (screw in) the M3 paddles
- Wire up the M3 paddles according the diagram under "Installation Part 1 - Paddles to MFB" in this guide: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=600729
- Connect/replace the steering wheel airbag
- Reconnect the battery
