You guys are lucky being in the same continent with him, so he can work on your car. We're in the other continent. Especially, I'm on west coast of NA , and I'm not sure if Hobi will come by and visit us sometime.

Anyhew, I'll buy airbag and steering wheel first, then get Hobi's stuff later.

Regards.
With his instructions it will become a DIY job.

OK, 19 more days to go...
Hopefully, Hobi has some kind of special discount for senior E60 members

Sorry, but I am a little confused.
But in the 06 5 series book I have, there is an option for paddles with SMG for 530 and 550. Am I missing something?

That's SMG for 530 and 545 which has only normal and sport mode.
The one that we're talking about is installing sport steering wheel with paddle shift for Steptronic.
Regards.
