The ultimate paddle shifters - I think I’ve finally got it

Many OG M2 owners knew me as an experimentalist developing the first ever M2 rear reflector inserts. It was out of fun and the fact that I like to make new things and also I was an OG M2 owner at the time and all just made more sense to do it.

Years have gone by and I have not stop trying to make new stuff for the M2 and the BMW community. Long story short… took me a couple of years to come up with these true illuminating carbon + aluminum enlarged paddle shifters. (Yes these also have the trendy magnetic mechanism XD). I had to consult with experts and professionals for help with the light optical part… it was a nightmare, but glad I pulled it through.

Easy plug and play One last test with a special module unit then I am heading to production with these Hopefully I can find a car to showcase these at SEMA

What do you guys think?
