I wish that I knew that before I sold my e46 two years ago, I might get another one now to do this
One of the best mods for automatic e46…
awesome write-up. now i have my ingredient list! thanks, bro!
Surprisingly straight forward thank you brother!
Daaaaaam thst fire 🔥 I’m glad I came across ur channel
That’s badass I’m forsure doin this
Okay this is more like it 💯💯
Hi good work man keep it going
this video is really intresting 😁
Oh I am most DEFINITELY doing this
Whats the part number on the pin set!??
Need some help form you I have and e83 x3 2004 it’s a great car I want to install paddle shifters on it that’s if it’s possible please reply
Hey, ive been subscribed to you ever since I purchased a used 2004 bmw 325ci, and you seem like you have a lot of knowledge on bmw E46 models.
My car's driver side window doesn't do the window indexing (frameless windows rolling down and up by like 1/4in by itself) when opening and closing the door, ends up making the window to hit the metal frame of the car and leaving a huge gap between the window and the car itself when it's closed. By any chance, do you have a diy method of fixing this problem?
Hey man, watch the e46 doors wont open from outside video, i think itll help you. I was having the same problem and it ended up being my door actuator.
have a manual xc.
Does it go past 3rd gear?
Where to buy?
awesome video, thanks to you i’ll be doing this tomorrow! what gauge wire did you use?
I just used some generic speaker wire, worked fine for me
@@_mrklein just want to come back and give you a huge thanks bro, favorite mod ive done on my car so far and this should hold me off until i can get around to doing a manual swap. couldn’t have done it without your help
@@mattk2800 sweet dude, glad i could help!
how much was this total? i want to do this so bad but im a poor high school kid lol!
🙏🏽
The wiring is what scares me to do this 😂
I have a 2000 328ci automatic and the steering wheel looks a little different would this still work?
Yea as long as its a e46
Hey, wondering how this has been holding up. Seen a bunch of forums and tutorial showing that I need a bunch of different connectors but I was planning on tapping into the wires by the shifter just like you did.
its been holding good, no issues since install
Would this work on a 323i e46 automatic? I heard you mentioned in your video something about going into “Sport” mode, the 323i doesn’t have such modes. Would it still work?
If it has the manual steptronic mode I believe it should work
Just need slap stick
The E46 does have sport mode if you have Steptronic, when in drive, move the stick to the left and you’re in D/S for sport. It just changes shift points pretty much.
Hi buddy I’m wanting to get this conversation done to my car I’m wondering if I use 330i ssg steering wheel will this work out the same.
If it uses the same clock spring as in the video it should work
@@_mrklein what you mean by clock springs buddy
@@sethor_im3336 skip to 1:35
How many miles does ur 330ci have and has it been a reliable daily?
I have a video on my channel about maintenance but basically If you keep up with the maintenance its a good reliable car, just make sure it’s properly inspected before you purchase one🙏 they tend to be neglected cars (around 250000 kms on mine)
Can you add paddles to normal e46 wheel... Instead of buying an actual smg wheel..?
Not that i know of, sounds possible though
To what im looking at it looks like swaping clocksping and drill the holes for the paddles will work, right?
I used a m3 smg steering wheel, not too sure if the paddles would be able to work on non smg wheel
Have you thought about doing a manual conversion or are you going to keep the auto?
Planning on beating on the auto till she goes then do a 6spd swap
@@_mrklein exactly what I want to do, have you researched it much on where you are going to get your parts?
@@TakeaChanceFilms i know a guy locally who sells the swap as a kit, im probably just going to take it to one of my friends shops to get it done, hes done a couple of the swaps now
Should just send it to a transmission shop called level 10 and get it built for 700+ HP if it's a ZF 5HP19
do the buttons on the steering wheel still work after swap?
Yes
So i have a question, im looking into the steering wheel and i don't see a difference other than the paddles. So my questions is, if i can use my e46 steering wheel and just cut out for the paddles or im missing something different between both steering wheels?
Honestly thats a really good question, i never tried myself, wouldnt be surprised if its possible though
@_mrklein yes, that's what I'm thinking. Drill the paddle holes on the steering wheel and it should fit. But I'm not 100% sure. But to me the steering wheel looks the same.
Hey will this work on 2005 325i ??
Yes as long as its steptronic
would this work on a 323i ?
If its steptronic yes
Would this work on a 330ci e46?
Yes
@@_mrkleinit works the same if you dont put in "sport mode"? Just downshift to overtake without sport mode?
@@mikpes10 only works when its in S mode
You can’t do this manual?
Not sure what you mean
@@_mrklein can you do this on a manual transmission?
@@lopezthegreat9121 no
what steering wheel is that
stock m3 wheel
@@_mrklein it’s impossible to find on ebay, where’d you get it from/do you know any aftermarket ones?
Thats very cool but is it possible to do it on a 5 speed manual
What
bruh
STEP TROPNIC IS NOT SEQUENTIAL
like this comment so i can come back
