Whatever you find out, please report back to us. I've asked 2 dealers for this and they cant answer my question. One even said that the transmission is different, I know that cant be true.

2TB-Sport automatic transmission with shift paddles option. It's not just hardware, it's different software, different shifter.

Correct.
The electronics on this car are maddeningly complicated. I even tried to retrofit just the 2TB shifter, and was told the computer would reject it since it didn't have the right part number. This is just the shifter, it's the same damn thing! |

I'd remove my paddles if i could actually. The get in the way all the time. Useless crap. When i need to go manual i use the shifter. But thats just me. To each their own.

I retrofitted the 2TB SAT Gear Shift only in 30 minutes, and no coding was even necessary. Details with pictures are here: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...&highlight=2tb

What do you mean "everything"? I bought only the 2TB SAT Gear Shift. I did not add the Paddles.

On the E60 LCI and F10/11 the gear lever is the new type that has it's own ECU and at least on the E60 needs coding to get the paddle shifters to work. This thread has a fairly detailed discussion on this subject on the E60 LCI: http://forums.5series.net/e60-parts-...etrofit-55056/ |
