I just finished completeing my paddle shift mod, using MY530i's kit. This is a great kit, and the mod is fantastic. It is great to drive - so much more fun!!
Thanks to Fred and all his patience in helping me through this mod. I made some rookie mistakes that he graciously helped me fix, inlcuding rushing me parts through the mail. Pictures are below:

Yes, about 30 to 45 mins is what it took. I didn't double check that all my connectors were connected back up, so the airbag was not connected when I turned the car back on. All and all, it is an easy DIY project.

2. Is it very easy to install?
3. how much was it for the paddle shift kit?
I need your help many thanks.

Well it's about time to spend some money and get his kits. I just installed his m5 shifter kit for my steptronic tranny. It works great. I already had his m5 paddle shift kit for some time, but the last kit was the finisher for my car. Now I just need get that damn m5 mirrors to work...... I will post some new pictures later. My530i you the man!
