Performed the M Sport steering wheel retrofit and added the Autotecknic Competition Shift Paddles in Stealth Black. The wheel finally feels right and the Autotecknic shifters are just incredible. I love the tactile feel of the full metal shifters when they engage.

Huge thanks to SOR for the incredible writeup on swapping out the G01 steering wheel. https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1444289

The paddles look amazing, and of course your photography skills are too. That looks like a marketing pic!

OttoMobilia · 03-24-2019, 09:09 AM

Does look perfect....just like it belongs there. Nicely done. ��

Not a fan of the M Performance decal - looks cheap IMO. Looks fantastic otherwise!

Richierich32 · 05-27-2019, 04:31 AM

Thinking of adding the M Performance side decals myself. Cant find any pics out there in a white M40i/d....

Opinions? I'm undecided.

This is such a great picture! Love the stance of your car. Definitely done perfectly!

Really interested to see what PS4Ss would look like on this, nice car!
