Retaining Functionality with an M3 Wheel

sbottum622 · 04-02-2015, 10:10 PM

I have a 2006 3.0i (N52), if I get an E46 wheel with paddle shifters, will it retain the shifting functionality? I don't care about the multi function as much. All I want is a thick M style wheel with push pull style paddles, and want the cheapest way to do it. Thanks!

If you don't have paddles on your steering wheel now you will most likely have to do some wiring. I saw a guy with a BMW E38 740i install a E46 steering wheel with paddles, he did some wiring and other stuff.

I have paddles now, they are just the push pull style.
