Thats also another problem with the non M SMG paddles. The M ones are stuck at 9 and 3 o'clock so you'll never "not know" where the paddles are.
I prefer the ///M.

Hopefully Hobi's site is up soon. Would still like to swap out mine possibly.

I like the m-tech steering wheel...the leather looks a lot nicer than mine which feels more or less like hard rubber.

I know that the plus/minus configuration is more "standard" on race cars, and other exotics

My Ride: 2005 545i (SMG)
Titanium Gray
Black Interior, Anthracite Trim
M-tech kit
Sport Package
Premium Sound

Active Cruise
Comfort Seats
Navigation
Folding rear seats
The non-M paddles are superior..... plain and simple.
They allow single handed driving, with either hand, while still permitting up and down shifts.
Example... I often drive with my left hand on the wheel, and right hand holding a drink. On an M, this would be difficult, since the upshift is only right handed.
