It has been a while I did that mod, but still like it. Especially in curvy roads, shifting in corners without taking the hands of the wheel is just pleasure

ok guys.. I think this is a pretty cool mod but there is no DIY for the 6. I'll volunteer to tinker on my ride once again to provide a DIY to the community like I did with the iPod interface. I can get the paddle steering wheel from BMW at wholesale price. The idea is that everyone donates a little towards the DIY so I can post it. If we can't get the $ together everything will be refunded respectively. I set up a paypal account @ "paddleshiftproject@hotmail.com" for this purpose.

What does everyone think?
