Paddle Shifters in E60

Before going into the how to and getting a ton of people telling me to use google, etc… I want to give credit to the forums I have gathered most of my information from:

The only issue being that 90% is about the E9x not the E6x. At this moment I do NOT have the gear selector with the “Sport” button and will be doing that upgrade down the road. I currently ran into a great deal on the steering wheel with paddle shifters and want the paddles working. THAT is my goal… M Sport Steering wheel with WORKING paddle shifters.

Unlike what’s mentioned in the guides there are 4 wires coming from each of the paddle shifters and they are already wired up…. Brining me to the first question, is this wiring correct?



In this you can see the Multi Switch Connector that connects to the Clock Spring does not have any missing wiring for me to wire up the paddle shifters, etc…. they are already going to it in pin 4 & 6

The plug under the dash that goes to what I’m assuming IS the clock spring DOES have missing wires



Here is what I’ve obtained from wiring diagrams online for post 2007 builds *mine is a 11/2008 (so a 2009 535xi)


Numbers are their pin locations, color I see (in parenthesis is what the diagram showed color wise) and then what that wire is supposed to go to. Please note the image I was looking at was horrible and blurry.
With all of that my biggest question (aside from is the paddle wiring good) is do the pins in location 4 & 6 with the paddle signals going to the clock spring pair up with clock spring harness pins 12 & 13… how do I determine this?

After I figure that out I will continue with the DIY’s to the shifter and see if I can splice them in and get the results I’m looking for.
