Paddle shift question.

If im not mistaken on my previous E55 im sure the paddles worked in all modes,s/c/m, im so sure that my other e55's paddles worked in all modes but the one i have not only works whilst in M mode.

Could you please guys let me know your year of car and in what modes your paddles shifts work in.

Thanks for your help.

Mine works in all modes. The wiring was changed in early '04? I think the "new" functions were added in '04 as well.
