Aluminium Paddle Shifter Extensions — BMW 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Series & X Range (F-Series)

Give your F-series BMW's steering wheel a proper premium upgrade with a set of machined aluminium paddle shifter extensions. Designed for the F-chassis generation of BMWs (2013–2019), they fit over your factory paddles with a simple peel-and-stick install — no tools, no drilling, no permanent modification. Add extra reach, a cool-touch aluminium finish, and a genuinely sport-focused look to any F-series BMW fitted with factory paddle shifters.

Fitment check — how to tell if your car is compatible:
Behind your steering wheel at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions, you should see two factory paddles (usually plastic, marked with + and –). Not every F-series BMW came with paddles — Sport Line and Luxury Line trims often omitted them, while M Sport trims usually included them. Check your steering wheel first before ordering.

How to fit:

1. Clean your factory paddles with alcohol wipes to remove any oil or dust
2. Peel the adhesive backing from the aluminium extension
3. Position the extension carefully over the factory paddle and press firmly for 30 seconds
4. Repeat for the second paddle
5. Allow 24 hours before regular use for the adhesive to fully cure

What's in the box: 2 x aluminium paddle shifter extensions (left/right pair) with pre-applied adhesive backing.
