Paddle Shift
Does anybody know if the extended paddles help when driving and hands are crossed if they are easier to find to change gear, rather than using the stick as my local dealer is more than willing to sell me some.

I have extended paddles, but still tend to use the stick from 1st -> 2nd if turning a corner. They do work well though

Do you have the BMW extended paddles ? If so, could you post a pic ?

I don't believe they are BMW ones (were on the car already), but mine look very much like these ones

I have extended paddles on mine, does make a big difference, much easier to find, however, sometimes you still need to use the stick.

May I ask how much the extended paddles cost from the dealer in Europe?
Here in the US they cost about $150. |

I think the dealer sell bigger versions of the OEM type (for fat fingers) they are hardly extended, mainly wider
