Twinspark Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Just had it done to mine. Wallet is 400 quid lighter... But it has transformed the driving experience. Really lovely bit of kit with nice aluminium paddles. Edited May 8, 2014 by Twinspark 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldavo69 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Looks good, is it the picture or is the writing on the "down" paddle a bit skew whiff due to the curve of the paddle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Wouldn't it be easier for them to put "-" and "+" on them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Wouldn't it be easier for them to put "-" and "+" on them? I hadn't thought about it until you said that, but now 'Up' and 'Down' just looks a bit daft. Should have got a manual anyway! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 It's the first thing I thought of. It is symbols on the 5 series and X6. Otherwise, what happens if you sell it to a Polish bloke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Do you have to put the Tip into S or into the manual slot to use them, or can you just hit 'up' or 'down' whenever you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpellypo Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'm going to do this on the X5 when I get round to it. Piece of cake to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Otherwise, what happens when you take it to a Polish car wash? EFA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinspark Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Do you have to put the Tip into S or into the manual slot to use them, or can you just hit 'up' or 'down' whenever you want? You can use them whenever you like. But obviously, it drops back to auto after 10 seconds if it's not in Manual mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveP Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'm going to do this on the X5 when I get round to it. Piece of cake to do. On my old 5 series it was done but they were not always active. Only if you went over to sports mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinspark Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Some more photos - you can see the quality of the product and my fingers in these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldavo69 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 They look a lot better in these pics. Still should've bought a manual though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Is that 27.7mpg? More fun to be had, then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinspark Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 That was for the run down the M6 / M5 from Manchester to South Wales. At one point I had it showing 31.something mpg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 You have + & - on the steering wheel anyway!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinspark Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Those are now disconnected, because they're shit and you end up changing gear whilst steering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddles will be much better. Not as good as a gearstick, mind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
