Hi Guys,

I'd like to announce that this kit is now available for you to order. My kit is very easy to install. You don't need to know much about electronic. No Digital Multi Meter is needed. All you need to install this kit is torx 10, 20, small flat screw driver, phillip-head screw driver, and 15mm socket with extension. If you have any question, please PM me. I'm in Bay Area, so if you want me to install it for you, please let me know.
I have an extra pair of M5 paddle and steering wheel, too.

You can buy it here:

Here are some pics

Did you mean just the kit or with airbag, steering wheel and paddle? The price for the kit is listed on eBay, but I can give our E60 member discount.

Paddle itself is $200/side.
The kit includes interface to Steering wheel ECU, paddle shift and steptronic transmission. Paddle must be purchase seperately.
All parts of my kit I used are BMW parts. The only thing is not BMW part is the electrical tape.
I don't have kit for push/pull SMG to M5 SMG yet.

Because the noemal M wheel does not have the slits??

Because there is no SMG car here for me to test, but it's no harm to give it a try. However, don't forget to disconnect your neg battery terminal before remove airbag to avoid airbag warning and trip to dealer.
