Per Alex's request, I've done a mini reseach for him. Alex is asking me about how to invert his left SMG paddle function as follows:

Original SMG palddle functions:
Left and right paddles: pull for upshift, push for downshift

New inverted function for left SMG paddle:
Right paddle: pull for upshift, push for downshift
Left paddle: pull for downshift, push for upshift

In order the make the left SMG paddle work as describe above, one needs to swab BL/SW and BL/WS wires on the left paddle. If one cannot find those wire colors, just swabbing pin 1 and 2.

Best Regards and Good Luck,

Fred

Alex can ask his technician to do the dry run by swabbing the pin and try to shift up and down with the paddle without driving the car. If it did not work, I'd be wrong, but I sure 100% it'll work. I've made wiring kit for both M5 and regular SMG paddles, so I must know what I'm talking about or those who got my kit already came back and complained about me on this forum . All members are happy with what I made for them Except one...
