2) Is flappy paddle gear change any good?

3) Should I be considering anything else?

Thanks

My 535d is on 18's and they're just fine - my dealer loaned me a set of 19's and, TBH, I couldn't feel much difference. I'd recommend that you stick with 18's and put the money towards VDC, or even better - an extra two cylinders!
