Auto Tecknic Paddles

Anyone have these installed or the M Performance carbon ones on their G20? Don't really like the standard plastic ones that they come with and have been debating on spending the $300-400 to upgrade.

Any input appreciated!

I'm in the same boat. They sure look nice but it's just not a part I can bring myself to pay that amount for. I could consider $100 or below for shift paddles.

Check these out though. Some guy was plugging these on a G20 FB group. They're not ready yet but hopefully soon. Nelson racing wheel .com

Ok. Tell me what I’m missing. Those paddle shifters are the stock BMW paddle shifters right? The one in the photo. They look the same in my car. Or is there something else I’m not seeing?

Yeah that's just place holder photo the actual paddles are on their website. It won't let you post a hyperlink on here. Just go to the website and look for G20 you'll see the paddles

Yeah but I mean it's $100 just for the tritium glow in the dark +/- symbols. If you can't remember right is up and left is down you shouldn't be driving...

Looks nice man!

How difficult was the install? Thinking of getting the auto teknick ones or something similar. Don't like the way the tape on extensions ones look

You need to remove the wheel and the trim. Would recommend someone who knows how to work on vehicles at the least. Other than that it's just two screws

Looks awesome. I wish I could do this on my car but since it has the driver assist professional I am not sure that I can. I would imagine there's a bunch of sensors in the wheel?

One would think not. But at $100 for that small of an amount who knows? It's probably strontium alumninate anyways
