E92 LCI Magnetic Paddle Shifters?

I have a 2011 e92 335 with LCI M sport steering wheel and I've been searching all over but I can't find any magnetic paddle shifters. Every model out there appears to be a for pre-lci models. Anyone know if someone sells those or perhaps a way to get the pre-lci models to fit on LCI steering wheels?

thanks!

Do you think it matters if it is an LCI or not when it comes to the paddle shifters?
I doubt it matters.

From what I've seen, the LCI board has resistors that the non-lci does not. I've installed the Non-LCI ones and while they do fit, they don't have shift.

I think I was able to figure it. I started reading up on f chassis paddles and some looked identical so I figured I’d try to order a set of f series magnetic paddles and give it a go. A simple re-pin of from the 2 prong to the three prong (leaving the middle empty), fired it up and it looks like we’re in business! Upshift and downshifts are recognized.

Quick pictorial for the 4 of us in this situation lol!
