I'm sure someone somewhere can figure it out. I'm in the US so we don't have the e230, but as far as I know all w124's have the 722.5 transmission which are all mechanical shift. The 722.6 transmission has the option for a tiptronic style shifting, so i would assume you would be able to figure something out for that.

The majority of 124's use the 722.3 which doesn't have a first gear start let alone be adapted to paddle shifters...
