When was the SL55 update to paddle
I am looking at buying an 06 SL55 (selling my 04 e55) and want to know what year the update was made. I think it was 05 but not sure. Also what was the update? I know they moved from buttons on the back of the steering wheel to paddles but anything else?

The VRP Paddles are an option.

Whats the latest feedback on these? I've seen mixed opinions...
