Changing to M3 DCT paddles

Hi

I have a BMW 335i e92 m sport coupe 2009, 59 plate pre lci, I currently have the ssg paddles and have a dct gearbox, I was looking into getting the paddles changed to the m3 dct paddles and was wondering when i change the paddles would it be plug and play into the m sport steering as some forum post advise they the ssg paddles have 3 clips when the current M3 dct paddles have 2 clips and need ones of the cables to be ground but was wondering if anyone would be able to clarify what is correct

Thanks

If you have the pre lci m sport steering wheel then it is plug and play. The dct paddle switches do not completely fill the cutouts in the m sport steering wheel but not that it should bother you as the gaps cannot be seen easily. The lci steering wheel requires a small wiring mod. There are numerous write ups on the net. I have fitted the dct switches and extended paddles to my pre lci E91 335i and I'm very happy with the results. Hope this helps.

the wiring mod it requires is it to do with connecting one of the wires to earth as the ssg paddles have 3 connection instead of the 2 which the m3 dct paddles have, also does it involve cutting any wires thanks
