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.

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