Steering Wheel Paddle Shift

[BeemerSTER]

Been pondering for a while . . . Retail shops here sell these M3 Steering Wheel Paddle Shifts(the larger ones are made by Royal..??) at a premium of RM1.4k and am not sure if that comes along with the installation of retrofitting. eBay knock-offs are more than 1/3 cheaper than that, incl shipping!Anyone knows how reputable are these items made? to me, it looks like some plain simple cnc machined aluminium(both eBay ones and retail). So why the great variance in pricing? Nothing some machine shop in Puchong can't do. . . Also, anyone knows what's the complete kit needed to get these paddle shifts working? Thanks!

i presume you are thinking of retrofitting the paddles to a steptronic car?

hey guys, just wanted to inform u about momo steerings since u guys where having a lil chat about steerings...
be very very very careful when buying momo steerings, there r many fake ones out there, the fake ones have same serial numbers printed on it and also is a lookalike,
so my point is, anything to do with momo, go straight to the authentic dealer.

got this info from a "fake momo importer"
