Paddle Shift Activated Sports Mode Device

Well-Known Member
Some of you may already that I have made and installed a device that allows the activation of Sports Mode on the steptronic transmission without having to push the gear lever to the left. The activation is done by pulling on both the paddle shift at the same time and deactivation is done by pulling both again or pushing the gear lever out of "Drive". This device has been installed mostly on the E46 but have also been installed on the E39 and also E60.

I have now made a new version that is supposed to be compatible to the E90 and newer cars like the 1 Series. I say supposed because I have not tested it on the car yet.

Thus the purpose of this thread...

I'm looking for a E90 and 1 Series (E87?) as a "project" car to test the device on. If you are keen let me know. If you are keen to see it work in person a meeting can be arrange or we can meet at this Sunday's meetup. Here is a video clip I made to illustrate the function. btw, that's Jeff in the first 2 parts of the video.

Thanks for the props guys... kam sia

Yes for E90s/E87s who want something closer to E92s w/ M3 DCT steering functionality then you can consider this mod.

The 1st version has been on my car (E46) for close to 2 years already and not one day has it not been used.
 
Re: Paddle Shift Activated Sports Mode Device

bro, sounds interesting... how does the new version work? click to switch to sports mode... run for a while no manual shifts go back to normal mode?

pull up shift , push down shift?
 
Re: Paddle Shift Activated Sports Mode Device

The new version functions same as the original version, solved some compatibility problems the original one had with E90s.

What you describe would probably be the 3rd version if there's sufficient interest.
