[@johnnylealleal647]

[@maxmurphy7738]

Quality content man!!! Love the video I’m a huge fan!

[@aaronvillalta3542]

You can Code the paddle shifts with Bimmer code

[@FernandoGomez-rx8ts]

how he encodes it. It can be done with Carly.. excellent video

[@viktorberezenko9110]

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thank you for watching! I’m glad I could be of help

[@MikeB-yn2dt]

Hey man, do u remember which paddle goes into which blue socket? From what I heared it doesn't matter but you don't mention it in your video.

[@Gearsandco]

i'm running the same exact interior setup but with coral red color and no carbon wrap

[@JDCarsChannel]

Love the coral red 👌🏻

[@8teate]

Hey, how do you know which cable to connect to the left and right shifter. Both look identical.

[@robson.pampulha]

Hi Sir, first of all, thanks for your amazing videos. Well, in second place, would be help me to do a retrofit witha a BMW X3 F25 with engine N52??? Some article, some media will help a lot because I couldnt find nothing about it. Thanks again.

[@vasourumashvili4535]

hello bro. Have you found something?

[@vasourumashvili4535]

I also have f25 and want to install paddles.

[@mihaisilviub.7167]

Hello, do you have problems with the wheels fitment? Thank you! I ve seen that your wheels are a little bit in exterior of the fender.

[@SteindorfBR]

Do you have instructions for coding paddle shifters?

[@1xngu]

Do I need a paddle shift harness if I’m prewired?

[@__haah]

great stuff ;)

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

[@nicholasortez-wells4669]

Will you have to drill holes for oem sport paddles?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Yes, to convert any non-paddle wheel to paddles, you will have to drill

[@uroshs.4855]

Nice.

[@MasterAlexGames]

where did you end up getting the BMW paddle shifters, not the Ebay ones. Were they also found on ebay, thinking of buying a 335i F30 soon and wanted to know how hard this is.

[@mathewreyes3251]

are there any e90 wireless charger kits that you might have heard good stuff about?

[@mathaaushle]

same as f10 ?

[@fei9100]

Hi, how big should the hole be, or with which size of bit are you driling the hole?

[@jakovsmith9331]

is it good to lock down the steering wheel while doing that?

[@wa__een]

Nice video and idea! And actually it's pretty interesting to see how much you have to change gears with gasoline versus diesel to get over 60mph/100kmh 😄

[@elviskopic9248]

This will work on my 2013 f10? I can’t find it on fcp euro

[@JDCarsChannel]

Yes, this will work with your car. All parts are linked (in stock) in the description below.

[@Flysohighx21]

Do I need the BMW Steering Wheel Wiring if I am using oem F30 paddle shifters?

[@JDCarsChannel]

You will need the wiring regardless of which paddle shifters you use

[@matthewconnolly1722]

I had no idea my wheel had lane assist 😂 I don’t have any buttons for it in my F30, maybe it’s something you could code in!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Yeah maybe hahaha

[@blair3hoden]

Hi mate I have an M sport steering wheel without paddles, can I buy some oem paddles and fit or would I require a harness?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Depends if your car is pre-wired

[@adrianfrigerio]

@@JDCarsChannel i have a bmw 120i m package 2016 but i dont know if it is pre wire?? How to know? Is there coding required?? Thanks

[@jackrob5142]

i have a question Jd so what if my car already had paddle shifters but i buy a m sport steering will that doesnt have paddle shifters but i want to install them do i still need the wiring harnest or am i good cause my car is already coded for paddle shifters ?

[@jackrob5142]

nvm i shouldve finished watching the video before i asked lmao

[@JDCarsChannel]

Yes you still need the wiring harness

[@uklmngubane5661]

Struggling with the coding..myn dont work...what software did you use..I tried using bimmer code..but nothing 8s working..all wearing done..

[@ati_f30attila63]

I have the same problem

[@ati_f30attila63]

Me to

[@Kuba60906]

Hello, does it work for bmw f01 ?

[@JDCarsChannel]

This will work for any vehicle with the same style steering wheel

[@marcodelsalto5592]

Will this fit on 2009 335 Xi e90

[@JDCarsChannel]

I can’t say for sure but I would assume so

[@KenMrKLC]

I honestly don't understand the crap people get for adding M stuff to their regular BMW. They are upgrades... They are upgrades you can have right from the dealer when you buy your car. And if you want to make your regular BMW look like an M what not? The only flack I would give someone is if they completely change everything and put M badges and take off their gem and lie about it being a real M.. There are M cars which are great, then there are M equipped cars which is like XLT trim on a ford truck ... Putting M door sills, M wheels and steering wheel, M rear wing, M shifter.... And even M badges added just means you support the Motorsport upgrades from BMW in my opinion. Who cares! Make your car look how you want it. Just don't lie to someone when they ask if its a real M

[@JDCarsChannel]

Well said!

[@tomaspiscicelli3288]

Your dad needs a detail

[@wtfohno683]

Just removed the positive terminal to remove my steering wheel. Closed the boot and now I can't get into the back of my 4 series to connect it back up again. DO NOT DO THIS!!!

[@wtfohno683]

Hint: If you do do this, put your rear seats down so you can get into the boot to connect the battery back up again.

[@JDCarsChannel]

We’re sorry to hear this! Hope you were able to get back in okay! Another helpful tip: tie a microfiber cloth around your trunk latch to prevent the trunk from latching while completing your install.

[@karljocson2757]

Lmao ill buy some of your used parts 😂

[@JDCarsChannel]

Hmu!

[@karljocson2757]

Awesome man, can i DM you on insta?

[@renatosoeiro8138]

Hello, I have retrofitted the shift paddles on a f10 and they are not working. The - paddle is upshifting and the + paddle is downshifting. So it automatically puts the car in m8. Could you help me with this? Could it be a wire problem? Thanks

[@JDCarsChannel]

Renato, it sounds like you have the paddle shifters wired backwards. Switching the two connectors inside the steering wheel should resolve this. Good luck!

[@ati_f30attila63]

I have the same problem after switch dem den bout work only up shifting

[@DavidChiluk]

Less talk more do. You don't get to showing anything till 3 minutes in.
