On the site mrpaddleshift.com they have packages to retro fit you bimmer with a paddle shift system. They dont have a package for a E36, only the E46, but dose anyone know how these things work and if it were possible to make/get one for a ti? Since on the autos they have the manual mode that allows you to do some shifting I thought it might be possible to make something that could control it with paddles. |  |  | | 02-08-2006, 12:09 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: SoCal Posts: 549 |
on the e46s that have tiptronic shift, they simply use an e46 m3 steering wheel and hack the wiring so that the wiring for the paddles connect to the shift up/shift down settings to the tiptronic box. so when you pull on upshift or downshift paddle, its basically like using your hand and shifting up or down on the tiptronic, just in this case, keeping your hands on the steering wheel and doing it with the paddles.
pls dont confuse the Ti's "manual mode" as being like a tiptronic. they aren't the same. __________________

I know its not tiptronic but I was wondering if I could make it work like one. | | | | | 02-08-2006, 12:22 AM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: SoCal Posts: 549 |

I think the paddle shifts are retarded. I would much rather keep my tiptronic shifter than having paddles. IMO swap your transmission. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active
