Paddle Shifters retrofit?
I was thinking of highjacking Koer's thread on this but that is not nice.
So, just took delivery of a built my own 2017 X5 35i. The only "miss" I made in ordering was paddle shifters - I used them more on my 550 than I thought. Obviously, I did not order the M package option - so can my new X5 be retro fitted with paddle shifters or an M steering wheel with paddle shifters or ...? |

Our parts guy filed a technical ticket with BMW regarding my question. Just got the answer back that this is a "no-go" retro fit.
I'm sure I'll get used to the stick only method within the next week |

It used to be do-able. Maybe BMW changed the modules, but so far I know 2 people that can't get the paddle to work properly.

r33 - it would be a nice to have but not that big a need of mine - certainly not enough interest to get into a retro hardware / coding headache. I remain thrilled with the new X5 and this will require a very minor recoding between my ears and all will be fixed

Would be interesting to know why exactly it is a no-go retrofit? is it a module or just wiring to the tranny and back? which is what i suspected from the research i made. Just to put my mind at ease. Did it have anything to do with the wheel i bought?? |
