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) .

Looking good... Do the paddle shifters actually work? If so how easy is it to connect them to the transmission?
Did you get it fitted thru the dealer so warranty wont be void?

Fred, what about swapping the levers only ?
Could the M5 levers be mounted in the SMG1 paddle?
Also losing the lighting, doesn't matter .

two of my friends here who owns e60 just asked me to do their mod, asking how much it costs....they think they can do it by just going to the dealer.....I said Good Luck with that hahahahaha I am waiting for them to call the service center tomorrow.
