I have a complete set just like what "5er Sport" has for car pre-09/05 built - SMG steering wheel, multifunction buttons, ruthenium decorative clip, airbag, push/pull SMG paddles, wiring mod, my kit, and installation video. If anyone is interested, please let me know.
Best Regards,
my530i

I've heard from forums members that the Paddle Shift Retrofit mods is quite easy to do since 'my530i'/Fred also provide DYI video/instruction with his kit and e60.net peeps been really happy with the results

This is definitely something I like to do my E60 soon

Just like Freed0m said , it's is really easy to install and with the customer service given by Fred aka My530i in case you need help, It's a walk in the park

I love this mod!

No. You need to buy SMG steering wheel and paddles.
