i think that can be done.......one of mechanic at uk modify his m3 steering that come with shift gear and put it on coupe with steptronic gearbox.......he claim its work but never seen it.....so,i cant guarantee......but,on my oppinion it will works.....good luck

it can be done. u can also fix the m3 steering with paddle shift into any e46 with steptronic, n use the paddle shift to change gear. bvo in spore will charge sd120 for the wiring. so, u can change the steptronic gear using paddle shift.

the m3 steering with paddle shift is SD990
the m3 steering without paddle shift is SD770
both come without the airbag.
the round airbag is SD1050

rts_4, for ur case, it is plug n play.
no need to do the wiring

u mean the computer wud adjust the + and - of gear selection automatically?? cos on smg1/ssg, it's + when pulled, and - when pushed, for BOTH pedals..

on m3s, + is pulling the right pedal, and - for the left.. no 'pushing' possible.. so how? appreciate ur help..

i've never come across anyone with ssg who retrofitted the m3 smg wheel.. steptronic owners, plenty.. can even get it done in kl.. and rts4, if u happen to find the answer elsewhere, pls let me know.. thanks..

Yea Energy did this mod on his pre-facelift E46 325i steptronic. The cost is higher cos he had to get the round airbag as his old steering had the rectangle airbag.

Price was ~Rm6k for the conversion done in Stuttgart. He now drives a funny looking M3 steering + SMG paddle shift with Steptronic tranny..

Check www.mrpaddleshift.com or email to sales@mrpaddleshift.com. They can help you to retrofit the from non M SMG/SSG 325 or 330 wheel to SMG M3 wheel.

From Automatic gearbox retrofit to SMG M3 wheel can be done by some wiring mode. But not non M SSG to M3 SMG wheel.

Hi YM,

I did that actually, bought the steering from Mr Paddle shift. They retrofit the M3 wheel with SSG paddle.

YM, did you change your steering wheel? Coz it looks different.
