Parts needed:
Wires with Female Pins: amzn.to/2wBVkF1
Wire Harness: Part Number:
F80 M3 Paddle Shifter Part Number: 7847610014501
New Steering Wheel Back Plate: 32307848268

It continues to boggle my mind that you only have 8,900 subscribers. Your BMW videos are the best by a mile on YT. You're to the point, no click bait, no BS. Please continue doing what you're doing. You are a huge help to the 2, 3, and 4 series crowd. Thank you.
Thanks! I know click bait really helps, but I HATE click bait... spread the word 😀

Woooooow I don't have an F30 , but the F30 community should feel really lucky to see your DIY's videos, they are amazing, well explained step by step... Great job!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼... Thanks!!!
Awesome, thanks!
I hope he keeps his f30 forever because I just picked up one this year and I'm just getting started 😀
Man, YOU are best!!
When I had my e46, I used to see 50skids videos for all of my works. I am considering to follow you for my f30 the same way. We would be useless if you guys wouldn't be here. Hats off to you 🙂.
Thanks for the guide! Had real difficult getting the holes drilled at the right angle so painfully had to enlarge/re-drill a bit but once it was all screwed in it was fine
Yesterday I did the same on my F20 using this guide, works 100%
Nice!
Which year is your car mate?
116i ?
118d ?
What car do you have?
Is yours lci/face-lift model?
Sweet I was wondering if it was the same!
Hi,
thank you very much for the video. Perfectly explained from beginning to end. Today I upgraded the paddles on the F31. Worked well thanks to your help.
After some thought i decided to bite the bullet and get all the things needed for this install. Took me a good 2-3 hours since my car was already pre-wired. Great video, easy to follow and the wiring was all correct. Thanks, Kies!
What's the easy way to find out if your car is pre-wired?
Just installed them on my F30 320d m-sport using this video as a guide, thank you for taking the time.
Only issue I had was where you say your using a 5/16 drill bit which equates to 8mm for us europeans, I was somewhat confused as that would have made the hole too big so I end up drilling a 3.5mm hole which is about 1/8th inch, that worked perfectly.
Thanks again
Man, you explained everything tons better than every other video that I´ve ever watched. Not even a single mistake, all the steps covered... I don´t even have my 420 yet but I´m gonna subscribe to your channel ;) Awesome work ;)
i wanna do this so bad now on my 2015 335I, thanks for the amazing video bro. love the content keep up the great work.
Do it! And thanks for your support!
Man did you born in a BMW. You know a lot of stuff.
I really admire what you do.
Continu man
Thanks! I was born in a hospital, much more sanitary ;) Thank you though, I appreciate it. A lot of what I do is just learning about it and jumping in and figuring it out.
Another great vid but about 1/4 into the vid I realized I would not trust myself to do this on my own so I would have to have someone like you do it. But awesome job as always
Thanks!
Thanks!
Another brilliant video!
Thanks for your great work and video.You are so helpful.
Superb video yet again, thanks
Just finished retrofitting my f30 wheel and installed paddle shifters. I purchased the paddles, wiring harness, backplate, and 2 paddle shifter screws all separately. I found that the 5/16th hole that he said to drill was too big for the factory screws that are said to fit the paddles. I had to add 4 washers to each screw to have them sit correctly. This process was extremely time consuming, but this video helped a ton and I love the outcome. Another big issue I ran into was having a heated steering wheel, with this type of function my wheel had an extra box in the actual wheel so when my airbag wouldn't fit on correctly with the new wires. I had to cut some of the tape around the wiring harness and shove wires into deep crevices to have the airbag sit correctly. After a total of 5-7 hours, I got everything sorted out and using bimmer code to code in the paddles was a breeze. I am so happy with the paddles and encourage anyone to try this out, just make sure you go slow and make sure you have everything fit correctly.
I’m mid installation, but this is exactly what I’m facing. There’s a curved box which sits on the bottom right of the steering wheel. The black connector which is attached to the paddle shifter connector (i.e. the shorter one which goes to the left paddle shifter) must attach to a connector which comes out of the right side of that box. Miles away. I’m just going to extend this with a jumper lead.
Do you have the links por the parts ?
Brilliant all videos super informative, appreciate all the help. Thank you!!
Fantastic! Great video. I know this will help alot of people on the forums. I did this to my 2013 328i m-sport. Made a huge difference in control and feel while driving but also the transmission is alot more aggressive when coded for paddles. It is pretty silly that BMW left this as an option for m-sport trim cars..!
Go ahead and share everywhere you think it would be helpful, if you think it could help! 😀
i dont even have a bmw but love to watch this satisfying install videos
😀
Amazing work !
Awesome man you the best on bmw I’ve seen great stuff keep it going
Thanks John!
Really awesome Bryan! Good job
Thanks!
Thanks for the video. It helps me a lot 👌👌
Very nice video! Thanks a lot.
I'm almost for certain you are the first youtuber to do an actual video on how to do this. There are forms around that I've read up on, but couldn't find any videos. Great work! I'm going to use this guide as reference for when I do this mod.
Thanks! Yea, I couldn't find one, so I thought it could help!
Kies Motorsports No problem! Also, I shared your video to BMW car groups I'm in, should help you out in terms of viewers and followers.
Sounds good, we appreciate it very much when people share, like and comment!
One more thing... Do you happen to know where to find a backing plate for a stock F30 328i wheel? I dont have the more round one like you do, I have the blocky rectangular one? I'll have to buy an entire new M Sport wheel with paddles pre installed if I cant find a backing plate.
I don't have access to it right now, but try realoem for the part number
Can you tell me what kind of screw you use for the paddles?
Great video.
Where did you get parts:
M3 Paddle Shifter and steering wheel black plate? How much does it cost?
Works perfect on my 120i, thanks man
is there any way to know if my steering wheel is already pre-wired for the paddle shifter without opening up to find the harness?
Thanks for the guide. I'm thinking about buying an f30
Hello, first of all great work.
I have a few questions:
Is it the same procedure with a F36?
If a cable is present in pin 5, then is at the steering wheel automatically a cable in pin 3?
Must be coded in the end?
Thank you in advance.
When you add peddles, the minimum you can do is actually code Sport Auto so you get faster transmissions. On my F30 I initially had only Sport steering wheel without paddles, so I bought M3 one and regular peddles and mounted them on M3 wheel (I actually think standard peddles look better than M3 ones).
Great video most helpful easy fix.
Thanks!
Does the wiring part work the same for the older steering wheel?
can you know if the car is already pre-wired? thanks ore do you need to look to the wires thanks
Hello Brian, your videos are just great and very helpful. Any chance you might have one to change the m sport steering wheel trim. Just the aluminum central part to replace it with a carbon fibre piece. Thanks
Hey Brian, can you tell me where I can purchase the two little screws that go into the back of the paddle shifters as well as the size of them? I ordered the shifters and I am installing an M3 steering wheel on my 335i, but just realized that I don't have the two screws to hold the shifters on.
Thanks so much!
Did the retrofit yesterday!
FYI: 5/16 drill bit ≈8 mm is too big, the OEM 14x4mm screw heads are too small which calls for a washer.. On the other side I drilled a pilot hole (5-6mm), and used the 5/16 bit going about halfway :)
Hello,
I have a BMW x1 F48 18i 2018 model with automatic transmission. The steering wheel that currently has is not the M.
My question, in case you know, is if I can fit an M steering wheel with paddles so that I can also the change the gears from the steering wheel?
Thanks in advance for your response.
Nikos
Great video!!
Thanks!
I was afraid to do this by myself, but after seeing this vid, I will definitely do it. Question: Regular F30 M sports wheel paddle shifter is the same to install? Drilling the holes into the wheel is the most crucial part of my question.
Thanks for the video! where can i get the Wire Harness please? Part Number is not in the description!
Is it possible to have it pre-wired already in a 328 too?
Would running the signal wire be the same on the f33, same number pin holes etc ?
I have a F30 328d with M package. The paddle shifters are the smaller ones and not enticing to use, I like the longer ones. Is there a way to just swap the metal shifters alone and not worry about the electronics ?
Hi! If i change to my F30 2.0d the steering wheel with M model i need coding? Will come airbag fail after ?
Is this also possible on the F10, I have the same wheel, transmission etc but i guess the wiring harness etc would be different ?
Great video! Can I use the same procedure for the F10 5 series?
Hey I just did this but now I’m getting a lane assist malfunction. I have not coded the paddles yet. Will the coding fix my lane assist or do I need a different wire harness? It’s strange because I left my original harness connected as well to the lane assist module but just left two connections unconnected because my new harness had those connections. Something is off. The new harness didn’t have anything for the lane assist. I’m also working with the non m, it’s the sport wheel.
always wanted to do this to mine .... does this retrofit work on the heated steering wheel ?
Hi Brian, amazing video!! I don't know if you have an idea about BMW 318D (not M version): do you think M3 paddle shifters are suitable for my 318d too? Thank You!! Angelo from Italy!
Damn bro I have account on kies and is the best for bmw lovers, and the you tube channel is the best too.
Looking to upgrade my 1 series wheel mainly to have cruise control but also love the sport steering wheel.
My car is manual, but if I bought the paddle version would it be a problem? Id remove the paddles as I obviously can’t use them! Just wondered if the paddle version would confuse the car!!
What kind of screw do you use that goes into the paddle shifters? I bought a set of these on ebay and they didn't come with anything; and the holes are just non-threaded black plastic.
Hello I did everything as the video and antive with bimmer but do not work paddles, look for another mode and add 2TB (replacing 205), does nor work help 🙏 F20
Amazing how you makes look simple.. need to replace mine thats peeling the metal look off.. Also, weird that they sell 335 on usa without paddles..
What are you using to code the bmw to get the shifters to work? Would the bimmercode app work or do you need something else?
I want to buy a streeing with paddle shifters can the F30 streeing works on the F10 will it fit?
Hey, do i have to strap the wire at every f30? Mine is from 12/17 and don't have paddles.
Thank you
Hello really interested in doing this. Only issue is I’m from the uk and we have right hand drive vehicles. I’m guessing the harness is in the same place on rhd just easier to route the cable? Thanks in advance.
I'm shocked the msport package didnt already have them on there! Nice job!
Thanks! Yea it had everything but them!
Hello mate, i know its long time video but does the wire is standar for all F SERIES? Like aftertaking the steering out, wire #3 and on the other side is #5? Its standard for all F series? I bought entire steering wheel and want to make sure before. Installing
Where can I the paddle shifters, the harness and back of the steering wheel.
Also can you make a video on how to change the steering wheel from a standard bmw wheel to the m series steering wheel as I have a 328, with normal steering.!!
Hi Would running the signal wire be the same on the f54 mini cooper clubman ,same number pin holes etc ?
Do you know if the F80 paddles themselves can be used with OEM F30 plastic bracket and electronics? most people are selling the paddles relatively cheap, as opposed to over $500 for a whole new set of paddles
What color should the wire from fem to slz be? White/blue?
Hi, I have a f45,, will it be the same as f30 with the pin nr.5 that i need to chek?
Where can one find of those precut backing plate with the precut holes?
Hello Brian! So I wanna buy a steering wheel that has paddle shifters. Basically what I wanna know is... if I can try to code it without checking for the wire existance. I guess if there is no wires it will still let me code it but it will not work. I do not wanna scratch the trims especially the steering column ones. Is that any other way to check for the wire presence by any chance ? ! Thank you ! :)
Hey Bryan
Did all the work on my 2013 f30 335i. Rewired the battery, turned on the car, and now my wipers just wipes all the time!
Haven`t coded yey, but that is not the reason right? By the way ur videos are really interesting!
If I get the regular paddles would I have to drill the holes too?
Anyone know how to code it after you retrofit the paddle shifters in the steering wheel? Thanks
Where can I find the harness used in this video? I have a f30 328i M sport
Hey man can you do a video of how to change or where to change the breaks of a F30 m breaks?
thanks for sharing ,may I know what is the pin number for 2013 X3 F25? Thanks
Kies! I dont see in the description the cable that connects both paddles! awesome video!
my Msport steering wheel has heating and lane departure vibration. will paddles work on my wheel?
Im trying to install M-sport steering wheel to my F15 non-M. Im wondering if the wiring are the same. Anyone know? Will be really thankful for any help
in the video , the part number for the back steering wheel is missing ( cutouts to fit the paddle shifter )
Hi - thanks for your great video. I used it to great effect to remove my wheel and replace one of my broken buttons. However, when I replaced everything my rear view camera is no longer recognising the movement of my steering wheel, so the guide lines on the screen aren't moving as I turn the wheel. Any idea what I've done - and maybe how to fix it? Thanks!
Ok - so 1 day later and a 40 mile drive later, it's now working. Clearly it needed to self calibrate. Phew!
Is it possible to make this wire?, I have been looking for it in Amazon and AliExpress but I haven't found it yet.
What screws did you use to attach the paddles at 18:29?
You have link for coding crusie control function after retrofit F30 M sport steering wheel on non-cruise control button steering wheel
any help? i am installing the paddles in the steering wheel. i have two wires from the paddles, black and white, and pin 2 and 3 in the harness free, anyone knows which one goes where? thx a lot!
Where can I buy the wire to connect the paddle shift as you showed in the video?
What kind of screws do I need for the paddles?
hello, i have i question. can u code this with icarly?
Are the pin numbers the same for the f10?
I don't see the programming part of the paddle shifter install. In the video you say you'll link it in the description below.
When I go to get the wires on Amazon it says it don’t fit my 2014 bmw 335i f30?
is it the same procces for 2014 5 series?
Would these paddles fit non msport steering?
Great video! I have the same steering wheel on my 228i with M Sport Package. Any idea if I can follow the same steps for retrofitting the paddles?
Hi, I'd imagine it's the same, but I would double check the wiring
Hi Brian, great channel!
I'm afraid that Wire Harness Part Number 32306854769 is not correct. I ordered it and it doesn't have the grounding ring and also not the brown wire with the metal connector. Instead, it has an additional white plug. Could you help us find the correct number?
Thanks!
Great video as usual. Wish you had at the end of video a clip of you driving the car and shifting with the paddles.
Sounds like another video :)
Sounds like another video :)
Hey man, nice video. I asked to the BMW dealer to install my paddles but they didn't want it to do it.
Do you know where can i take my car for the installation? I live in Wisconsin. Thank you!
Bryan, did you previously worked as a professional technician for bmw ? ...Amazing knowledge !
is this posible for older model like 2008 328xi
Will this work for a 2013 f20 116i ?
Really love ur in-depth videos despite the fact i dont have a BM yet. All F30 year on year update prior to LCI dont have appealing interior and hence planning on getting F30 LCI to make up for all the expensive customization.
Possible to do a comparison LCI and your retro fit F30..??
Thanks! Yea, we can look into it, but we have a lot of videos that would happen first, so it would be in a few months
