Post 2011 they went from the double sided flappers to single sided flappers..

My 2011 35is had the old style my 2012 20i had the new style..
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard..

Right - here is the latest on my paddle re-fit saga. The part number I need is 32306799619. This I know. I tried ordering from my BMW dealer and it's not available which may explain why people on Ebay are trying to sell them for £100 more than their retail cost (£420 as opposed to the real cost of £320). But they are still unavailable. They are unique to the E89 wheel which itself is unique to the E89. You would have thought that a steering wheel would be a common item..... Breakers don't seem to have wheels let alone paddle switches.

Can anybody help - wheels for sale, etc? Thank you.

I have a beat up wheel that’d gladly gift to you. But I’m a bit far.

Hi Marcoose if that wheel has the +/- paddle switches then I would be very happy to buy the switches only (saves on postage weight too). If this is the case perhaps you could PM me and we will agree a price etc.

Hi, Maria. It’s all or nothing. If we were closer, you’d grab the whole thing and do whatever is best for you. Someone else will come along soon.
