How are these BMW G chassis shift paddles different from paddle covers?

The MMX BMW G chassis shift paddles are a complete replacement assembly with new control units, not extensions or covers glued over the factory paddles. The entire paddle blade and actuation mechanism is replaced, delivering a fundamentally different shift feel rather than a cosmetic overlay.

What does the magnetic mechanism change about the shift feel?

The OEM spring-return feel on the G-series paddles is soft and vague. The rare-earth magnets in the BMW G chassis shift paddles give each pull a crisp, instantaneous snap — much closer to a competition shifter — with no travel uncertainty between actuation and return.

Which steering wheel do I need to fit these BMW G chassis shift paddles?

These paddles require the BMW Gen 3 M-Performance steering wheel. If you are unsure which wheel your specific G-series car has, contact MMX or Bulletproof Automotive to confirm before ordering.

Will these BMW G chassis shift paddles work on the G90 M5?

The G90 M5, G70 7 Series, and G45 X3 M50 feature BMW's Boost Function paddle, which may not be compatible with this kit. Contact us to confirm compatibility for these specific models before ordering.

How difficult is installation?

The BMW G chassis shift paddles are a direct swap once the steering wheel is removed. Disconnect the battery before removing the wheel; professional installation is recommended if you have not previously removed an airbag-equipped steering wheel.

Description

MMX Magnetic Shift Paddles for BMW G-Chassis Models with Gen 3 M-Performance Wheel

BMW G chassis shift paddles from MMX Performance transform every gear change on G-series BMW models into a sharper, more deliberate input covering the F40 1 Series, G42 2 Series, G20 3 Series, G22/G23 4 Series, G87 M2, G80/G81 M3, G82/G83 M4, F90 LCI M5, and G29 Z4 equipped with the BMW Gen 3 M-Performance steering wheel. Where the OEM paddles rely on a soft plastic spring-return mechanism that makes each shift feel vague and imprecise, the MMX BMW G chassis shift paddles use rare-earth magnets to deliver a crisp, instantaneous tactile snap on every selection, closer in feel to a competition shifter than the factory unit. CNC-machined from solid aircraft-grade T6-6061 aluminum billet with zero paddle flex, these are a complete replacement assembly including new control units, not paddle covers glued over the factory units. Ergonomically sculpted to follow the Gen 3 M-Performance wheel’s curves and available in three deep anodized finishes, Black, Titanium (Silver), and Red, designed, engineered, and manufactured in the UK.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
