This is for a set of racing paddles for the BMW e46 M3 with the SMG II transmission. These beautifully vacuumed crafted paddles are made with carbon fiber and 6061 aircraft aluminum. Once you put these racing paddles on, you will never want to take them off again. It's the perfect item for track use and the bold design enhances the overall interior look.

You can wheel shift so much easier than the stock paddles. During turns, you can get a good 30% more rotation without having to remove your right hand and shift with these SMG lever. You can also wheel shift with your elbows resting on your legs since your fingers can reach the bottom of the paddles when your hands are placed on the lower (4:00 and 8:00) positions. So it's much more comfortable when just cruising, or when taking hard, tight turns. You can pretty much find these paddles on your steering wheel no matter where your hands are.

Replacing your SMG paddles is quite simple, and requires only a small allen wrench (we recommend a long "T-handle" style). As the SMG paddles do not connect to wires or switches in anyway, there is no wiring or difficult install required. This can be done in as little as 5 minutes.

When we were designing these SMG shift paddles we kept the different types of BMW drivers in mind to offer a high quality product to everyone with SMG II and an M steering wheel. The final product ended up being the perfect blend of styling, smooth curves, and comfort in your fingers to appeal to both the daily enthusiast and race track driver.

Cut from 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized for corrosion resistance and interior preference and an optional pad for the back of the paddle for increased grip and comfort. The pad adheres to the back of the paddles and is designed from neoprene to resist any temperature discomfort on hot and cold days as well as resisting slippage from wet hands. Our in-house engineers gave special attention to the key details of the M3 cockpit to ensure the paddles have a seamless OEM+ fit and finish. Subtle design details allow the paddle to conform perfectly into gauge cluster, steering wheel, and other surrounding components while offering superior comfort at the driver’s finger tips due to the extensively detailed 3D machined pockets. 


Features:

  • Anodized 6061-T6 aluminum
