has anyone here done this retrofit before (adding paddle shifters)

ska///235i · 02-21-2010, 11:24 PM

Now that we know we can add paddles to any car (auto), anyone here did this mod yet?
I got DCT paddles and will try this out soon but just want to see if someone already did this.

link to how to retrofit
