Hi-
I have a 335i sedan and I have the sport package and the Steptronic transmission, however my car doesn't have the paddles. I bought the car used this week and I was wondering how hard/expensive it would be to get a wheel with the paddles? Also I was wondering if anyone knew how much it would cost me to replace the knobs on my radio [it has nav] and ac to the updated chrome ones.
Thanks in advance

probably too cost prohibitive if possible at all and to be honest doesn`t add much functionality. I`ve read many people who have it saying they rarely use it, when you have an AT, you mostly let it do the legwork. It is not like the M DCT or even SMG, it is just mimicking what you can do with the gear selector.

Possible...yes....Advisable? Maybe not.

thanks for the advice. i guess ill just stick with what i got
Haven't used my paddles since around the first week when I had to try it out. I actually forget now they are there, but what I think I do remember, seeing the fuel gauge move quickly... down
