In a couple of hours I will be off to London on a job for a few days and will swing by Munich and Berlin after my work is done in London. While in London I will be meeting with Hobi and he will be modifying my SMG paddles and making a wiring harness for the M5 shift knob.
I have also ordered the trunk finisher from BMW Niederlassung in Munich and it should be pre-painted and ready when I get there.
I will try to check in on the forum from there, but if I don't get a chance I will talk to you guys after I get back.
See you soon Hobi

Hey guys.........I'm in London and have had only 2 hours of sleep in the past 32 hours......so I have not contacted Hobi yet. I will try tomorrow.
I bought a used M5 steering wheel that came with the paddles on eBay (thanks to Kigerka) for around 270 Euro including shipping, but if I remember correctly the paddles alone cost in the mid 200 Euros or so.

Is that this coming Friday? I won't get to Munich until Saturday morning. Then it's straight to Niederlassung to pick up my parts before they close. I don't have much on my schedule for Saturday evening and Sunday, but will be busy the rest of my time in Germany. I am planing to go to Berlin on Tuesday and will fly back to Los Angeles VIA London on Friday Aug. 12.
