[fwf92]

Hello to all Bros!I own a 2009 323i, and my particular model came without any paddleshifters like the 2010 models and the most recent plus/minus ones. It wasnt until i was at a relatives house did i seea 323i with the most current shifters (plus/miners), not the one beforewhich could play both functions on both sides...i wonder, do any of you bros out there knowif it is possible to buy a new steering wheel (including the shifters)and do the necessary wiring,even though my current one does not haveany existing wiring because it never camewith shifters???I greatly appreciate your opinions!

Hello to all Bros!

I own a 2009 323i, and my particular model came without any paddle
shifters like the 2010 models and the most recent plus/minus ones.
It wasnt until i was at a relatives house did i see
a 323i with the most current shifters (plus/miners), not the one before
which could play both functions on both sides...

i wonder, do any of you bros out there know
if it is possible to buy a new steering wheel (including the shifters)
and do the necessary wiring,
even though my current one does not have
any existing wiring because it never came
with shifters???

I greatly appreciate your opinions!

Bro.......BMW Performance Steering........but pricy.......I have the same variant as yours and did change to the BMW Performance Steering wheel......complete with M3 Paddle Shifters, rev lights and a whole lot more........do check out some pics and vid that I took......browse through the E90 thread......u will find it there.

Bro......U can also check out the current steering model and ask for pricing.......should be much cheaper than the BMW Performance Steering. Note that the installation can be painful............re-wiring must be done from the Gear Box to the Steering........Steering angle to be adjusted and many errors to be corrected via the computer.

Bro,
around how much do you think the current steering model is worth???
yea, ur right, the re-wiring can be a bother and may ruin certain aspects
of what has already been built...

And how long was the amount of re-wiring done
when installing your performance steering wheel???
