Got it off of a F30 335i from local seller. The wheel does not have paddle shifters, but my X3 did not have them originally and I didn't care much about them. I was thinking of retrofitting the F80 paddle shifters, but realized the cost is not worth it. My wife who usually drives the X3 didn't even know such thing existed and after 20 mins of explaining to her that you can shift an automatic car, she gave me the :confused2 look, so I gave up :bellyroll
