Video - How to retrofit F80 Paddle Shifters on your F30 Steering Wheel

Hi Everyone,

I found some good write ups on how to install paddle shifters, but I couldn't find a video.... so here it is

Thanks for watching and try at your own risk,

Is the same process. The M3 paddle shifters is plug and play. Nothing else required so far as you have the back plate that accepts paddle shifters.

Mine deffo did not. Perhaps '16 and up, and even then I'd be surprised if BMW offered that standard. Upsales, man, up sales.
