Hi,
I have read the posts on how to install the sport sterring wheel, but they do not seem to explain how to install and wire a wheel with paddle shifters. I have searched "paddle shift install" and cannot seem to find the details I need. I have also read through http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=70023
Can you help me?
I have a 2006 550i with the standard wheel - no paddles. I have purchased a sport wheel with paddle shifters, and the round airbag (post 09/2005 as build date is 11/2005). How do I install this sucker so that the paddles work?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You can find it here: http://www.aftermarketbulbsshop.com/BMW-Pa...-p/bmw-pa-r.htm
Just let me know if you have the push/pull paddles or the illuminated +/- paddles.

After some research I found out there is in fact no recoding required, I've found plenty of information that tells me I need to wire the paddles to the gear shifter however nobody has done a guide (or at least if they have I cant find one).
As I've said about the steering is fitted and the paddles are illuminated just not functional, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Fergus

My Ride: 535d 272km
Hey guys,
I'm trying to fit in the M5 steering wheel (the LCI version) in to my pre-LCI 535d.
I've already did one attempt when I observed what follows:
- My factory installed (M-sports) steering wheel is equipped with airbag module/connector inside the bottom arm
- My M5 steering wheel (LCI) does not have that module
- I've bought the LCI slip ring (equipped with airbag connector) but it wont fit the pre-LCI base
From there I've decided to buy the LCI base that will go with the LCI slip ring.
I checked the pictures online and they have the same connectors - just placed in different positions.
Now, I got the LCI slipring mounting base, that in theory should fit.
Before I take apart the steering column again I want to make sure if there are any surprises I should expect? My ignition slot uses a classic key with is obviously different than the LCI version. Should I expect any trouble trying to replace the whole set?
