Nice directions, although I'm a little skeptical that it can be done in 20 minutes! It would take me that long to open the boxes and read the directions.

Gabe, thanks for the quick notice on your website.

To all:

I am still in the midst of finishing up the DIY manual. I don't particularly like to rush to finish the manual just because there are quite a number of steps to accomplish the retrofit. The DIY manual will reviewed repeatedly before being released. There will be a couple of variations too.

Unfortunately, this is not a 20min job. ;-) More like a 2-hour job. And believe or not, there is more work compared to retrofitting on an E46 or E53.

For now, I can offer local installation. Prices have yet to be determined but it's not just adding a pair of paddles. Expect major replacement of some other parts as well. There is no need to replace airbag nor the steering wheel, nor to reset any codes. A trip to the dealer is not needed.

I will post more details on my website.

Thanks for reading.
