It's not an old thread.
Thanks. Still loving this mod.
Not sure how I would describe these paddles. BMW used them on many different models the last, what, 7+ years, if not longer.
Though I did notice there are two versions of this style paddle, which looks identical viewed from the front, but the back side is very different.
The 'base' plate is the same as the latest M5 paddle shifters, so I could easily swap over to a different style, but the black/silver looks better to me and a pefect match with the stock shifter.

Older model paddles in general seem of a better construction, with metal pivot bar and metal thread (insert) to bold it on, all later models it's all plastic.
