Upgrade your cabin’s functionality and appearance with these gloss carbon fibre magnetic steering wheel paddle shifters, engineered as a direct replacement for select BMW F and G chassis platforms. By utilising a secure magnetic mounting system, they eliminate complex fabrication while delivering sharper shift feedback and a refined motorsport aesthetic.
Key Features
- Glossy Carbon Fibre Construction: Finishes with a high-gloss resin coat that provides a premium visual contrast against factory steering wheels.
- Direct Magnetic Replacement: Attaches securely to the existing metal mount behind the factory paddles, ensuring correct alignment without modifying the steering column.
- Tool-Specific Fastening: Secures using a precision M2.5 drive mechanism paired with either 4x14mm or 4x18mm screws, selected according to your specific vehicle chassis.
- Chemical Resistance: Surface treatment remains unaffected by common household cleaners and interior cockpit compounds.

Installation
Secure installation begins by disconnecting the negative battery terminal to safely de-energise the Supplemental Restraint System. Carefully remove the steering wheel trim and detach the original paddle assemblies. Align the new magnetic units against the backing plate and secure them with the correct screw length for your chassis. Reattach the steering wheel cover and reconnect the battery. Be aware that bypassing the airbag circuitry may trigger a dash warning light; a dealership or independent diagnostics tool will likely be required to reset the module fault code. Given the proximity to live airbag electronics, professional fitting is strongly advised.
