Paddle shift upgrade

Post by Martyvelo » Tue Sep 15, 2015 9:15 pm

Hi,
New on this forum but have owned a few 3 series and an E83 2.0 M sport previously.

I have now got a 2012 3.0d SE f25, auto without paddle shift. The steering wheel is significantly worn, and, having had paddles previously, I have decided to upgrade. I've managed to find a nearly new M. Sport wheel with paddles, does anyone have any guide/experience of installing said item please?
Main points:-

Does it have wiring pre installed?
Will I need a wiring loom?
What reprogramming will it need? I have read that sometimes the dash does not recognise the gear selection etc.

Any other advice good or bad kindly appreciated thanks

:)

As far as i know wiring is there, coding needed.
