My Ride: 2005 530i Individual, DVD Package, HUD, Bluetooth, Comfort Seats, SR, etc
Did the install from regular shitty steering to something really good, the M5 steering wheel with paddle shifter and the custom kit from my530i,
everything is fine except because my car is Right Hand Drive and the loom was for left hand drive the wiring is done opposite so the - gears up and + gears down in DS/M mode. I have to switch the wires again tomorrow or ask my530i if i can do something without opening the steering again. But its so good....loving it ........... some pics....

SMG3 paddles are very cool (especially the lighting!!), but you can't push them so the SMG levers are still better (I can upshift/downshift 2 gears per time) .
