Victor,

I have the same questions that someone else did. Do these fit The SL's? Since I have a deposit on 2 sets since April of 2007 one for my SL and one for my wife's E, I would like to use the deposit to pay for the SL.

Thanks,

Lou

I am stuck...

Anyone know of a crashed E55 somewhere that we can snag the steering wheel buttons from?
What's a dude need to do to get paddles for the E55? I've emailed you and Vadim the Ebay auction links for 05 E55 wheels ($150 Buy it Now); I even offered to buy the wheel and send it out to you all.

I know you all are busy but please, please, please...

Forgot one thing... for the E55 guys!!! ....

Thanks to our buddy supre55 who pointed out a steering wheel and button combo on eBay for $150 I was able to snag it up.. Once it arrives, its going to the factory so they can make the bottom mounting piece to fit the E55 steering wheel..

Because of the unique 2 piece design, the top part of the paddle is generic and will work on everything.. we just need to make a mold for the bottom mount.. It's coming guys.. It's coming!!

Thumbs up Shift Paddles with switches?
Kool!!!

I don't have shift buttons, but maybe a shift paddle switch can be mounted and the wires run down the steering column and over to the transmission shift switch???

I am still waiting for the paddles to arrive. I keep getting told they are on schedule so I should see them soon.. I will send an email and ask for an updated delivery schedule.

We are working on the E55 version now also.

Yes...install. Getting near the airbag/steering wheel concerns me. Is it a simple install. Having said all that...i want one.

Paddles are due to arrive any day now... We are waiting ...

Look.. I even have the boxes on standby waiting to receive their contents.

The packaging came out GREAT! I just hope everything is A O K with the paddles..



-------------

15min - 25min install time. You just pop out the existing buttons with a small screwdriver and reinsert the new base. No wires to transplant or anything else.
