M Performance G80 M3/G82 M4 Carbon Shift Paddles on Supra

[bigcat]

I was wondering if Supra can install the new carbon fiber shift paddles from new M3/M4 but I couldn't find any info from Internet.
I guess the only way is to try it myself.

Note: The screw holes on the paddles are smaller than the OE ones, make sure to enlarge it before installing to fit the original T20 screws.

Removing the air bag is pain in the ass, but the rest parts are pretty easy.
And I'm happy the paddles fit Supra and work perfectly!

I am jealous of the "M1" and "M2" sport mode buttons on that BMW steering wheel in the first picture. Wish we had that instead of the awkward button in the center console.

The trick is to press the air bag while you are unclipping it. It takes less than a couple of minutes to pop out if you do that.

The genuine parts cost $700 as I know
I didn't order mine from BMW but local parts dealer.

I did but still very tricky...maybe just me.
It took me 20 minutes to unclip all 3 clips

Hey do the M Paddles actually feel any better than the stock ones? I'm considering getting them but it doesn't look like they stick out any further then the stocks. I hate how the stock ones feel like I'm reaching to grab them.

I wouldn't say M paddles are better, but it is a little bit "harder", very subtle.

So they aren't any easier to reach with your fingers

It's longer so definitely easier to reach from upper/down side, but the width should be similar.
