If somebody is interested - it's the first one. I am trough it ... took me 6 hour, as I only had the WDS and the knowledge that it could be done! WDS research was another 3 hours...

I have some pics on my website: www.eagent.de Paddle shift retrofit

Hi Dirk,

Good pictures but unfortunately it doesn?t tell the whole story, at least not for me. So would it be possible to have detailed instructions with words and pictures that how it can be done?

I noticed from the pictures that some parts needs to be changed and some rewiring is needed, but what is excatly that you have done and how, like how did you remove the coli spring, which wires are needed etc.

Best regards,
- Tommi

Hello Dirk,

I ask a big favor ... PLEASE HELP ME.

I bought the steering wheel M5 SMG and I want to install it on my bmw e60 years 02-2005.

Could you send me instructions for installation?

If I did I would be very grateful.

This is my e-mail cogedilsrl@gmail.com

Greetings from Italy

Alex
