Since we created this conversion kit in 2008, it's allowed enthusiasts to easily add OEM BMW paddle shifters to their E9x E8x BMW that did not come with paddles from the factory. This kit includes a custom time saving plug and play harness that enables factory paddle shift without cutting, splicing, programming, or timely dealership visits. Separately purchase a steering wheel, paddle shifters, and the necessary steering wheel controls (MF buttons) and plug in our harness. It's that simple. The retrofit can be performed with common tools in about 2 hours at home by following our step-by-step printed install guide. The necessary OEM part numbers for this upgrade are included in the guide. Made in the USA with OEM BMW connectors.
A verified BMS order number is required for all tech support.

Paddle shifters will add more fun, value, and performance to your BMW. Paddles shifters will enhance your driving experience and allow you to safely change gears without your hands ever leaving the steering wheel. Paddles are activated by hitting a paddle in 2007 and newer vehicles. Some pre-2007 models will need to switch the gear shifter into "S" mode to use paddles. The gear you are in is displayed in the instrument cluster. Read our FAQ and install the guide below.
This listing is for the plug & play paddle shift retrofit harness only. In addition to the harness, install guide, and tech support we provide you with the OEM BMW part numbers required to complete the retrofit.

(1 QTY.) Steering Wheel Controls/Switch BMW part # 61319123287.
The cost of the retrofit/upgrade is around $400-$500 USD total if you get everything besides the harness used. eBay has many pre-owned steering wheels with paddles already in them. This listing is for the plug & play harness only.
SSG and E chassis DCT paddles (shown below) will require part # 61319123287 steering wheel controls to work.
