Paddle Shifter Installed in '03 4.4i

This is SWEEEEET! Thanks to Vince for thorough instructions and help. Installed in a little over 3 hours with lots of interruptions. This is a must-have for Steptronic drivers. You don't know what you're missing. It can be removed easily and Big Brother will never know it was there!

Nice!

Curious, does your M3 have paddles (albeit SMG) too?

Thanks. It really is a kick to drive.

Nope, the M3 is manual-stir only. It's my wife's car (although I've offered her lots of favors and body parts to let me drive it more). She's a purist, or so she says. She thinks the E46 has longer throws and a longer shifter than the E36 we used to have, so I'll be looking for a kit in the coming months. I guess size (or length in this case) does matter. :-)

Wow, I sure hope I marry a woman like that.

Beautiful garage you got there.

Yeah, she's pretty terrific. Likes sports too! Here's a better picture of the paddle install with some sunlight to help out.

Thanks. The smile will be there for some time.

By the way, it's not OB, but Topaz. OB with natural brown(if they offered it) would be a nice looking truck. I'll be happier when spring comes and I can put the 19's back on. I have 17's with Pirellis Scorpion snows (very good tires!) until winter lets up. Next move is the Dinan software upgrades to make it respond quicker to the paddles.
