This auction is for a set of racing paddle shifters for the BMW e46 M3 with SMG II Transmission. This beautiful paddle is made with carbon fiber and 6061 grade aircraft aluminum utilizing vacuum crafted technology. Once you put these racing paddles on, you will never want to take them off again.

It makes it much more comfortable when cruising, or when taking hard, tight turns. You can find these paddles on your steering wheel no matter where your hands are.

Since production numerous installation has been done without any problems, therefore fitment is guaranteed. Professional installation is highly recommended as it requires removal of your stock paddles.
