Retrofit paddle shifters to a '13 F25 35i pre LCI
I have a '13 F25 35i pre LCI with a heated sport steering wheel. I've received a heated Msport steering wheel with paddle shifters. I've researched this topic and found various suggestions from just coding to also having to hardwire all of which I guess is determined by what model X3 and included specific features. I look forward to guidance from someone who has actually done this mod with my specific model X3 from a sport steering wheel without paddles...

Hey, sorry to see that lack of replies on this thread. I googled a bit and found something that may be relevant to you.
Here's the link, it's not an X3 but I think it might be along the same vein anyways. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=361439 |

Any ideas on what it specifically takes to activate the M Sport steering wheel paddle shifters on a '13 F25 35i that originally had a Sport steering wheel without paddle shifters?

I would have thought someone else would have already done this mod. Any known specifics on what would be needed to activate the shift paddles on a '13 X3 35i with a newly installed M sport steering wheel w/ shift paddles? Thank you.

It looks as though wiring will need to be done as simply coding was not the answer. Still any input specific to the F25 would be appreciated...

Does anyone have the steering wheel wiring diagram for the F25. All other sources that I've looked at on how to do this does not specifically apply to the F25. Thank you.

The mod is offered by BMW at a cost of approximately £650, which would probably equate to $650 as we pay more for all such things in the UK. If I find the links to the aforementioned posts, I will let you know. Ian Last edited by ianfp; 04-28-2016 at 04:12 PM.. Reason: typo |

Still has no one done this on this specific model X3 35i?
It appears that the wiring is there since there is detected electrical current when the paddles are activated. So is it just a coding issue? I've even followed shawnsherdan's coding suggestions to no avail... Please, let's get this done. I will appreciate any help! |

Is there a BMW Service Tech on this forum that has the ability to contact BMW tech resources to find out what specifically it will take to activate the steering wheel paddle shifter function if the electrical impulses are registering when the paddles are activated but no +/- shift changes? If it's only coding specifically what will it take? Thanks

Does anyone have access to BMW maybe as a Tech to ask BMW The Motor Company to specifically ask what steps are needed to complete this mode? Why is this so difficult? For example and considering cost as no object, if I wanted a BMW OEM rear view camera retro'd on my X3 I'm sure they would do it. The two local BMW Dealerships won't even look at it... Thank you!

Also I had emailed you some instructions a while ago. There are 2 bits of wiring. One of them may be missing. |

Sorry for the late reply. You may need to code 2TB which is sports auto transmission. Also it may register the impulses if the wiring is done till the JBBF. But from there it needs to be done till the junction box in the engine bay. And from there till the transmission. Most probably the wiring will be present from the engine bay to the transmission, but the other 2 bits may not be.

2TB already done. What model X3 is yours and how is it equipped? Those parameters may make a difference as well. That is why I'm hoping someone with a X3 35i equipped liked mine has done this mod.
