New Paddle Shifters
I just had these installed and turned out great!! They feel so much better than the little plastic stock ones and look much more sportier as they should be on a SUV like this. They go great with new black custom M pedals I also just put in. They remind me of ones Ive seen in a Ferrari or Lambo

To me they look completely out of place on an X5. I'm not opposed to aftermarket paddles, but those are huge, and look very industrial
But really, as long as you like them, nothing else matters |

Yeah they are bigger and yes more industial but thats why I like them. I wasn't happy with how small and cheap the plastic stock ones felt. The stock ones are to much like ones you can find in many low end cars like Hyundai, Mazda and many others that now have paddle shifters. This is a M and it's supposed to be a more aggressive in and out and if it was just a ordinary SUV OR regular X5 I definitely wouldn't have put them in. Thanks for the honest feedback guys.

I like them. I went solid instead of holes with mine though. They feel nice and it's much easier to hit the paddles in all manners of driving. I also see you have their pedals as well. Pedal Haus ftw!

Thanks and I did like the ones without holes too but thought they would go better with the new black /silver holes pedals from Pedal Haus. I drive with gloves sometimes too but I haven't had any issues when using them. I would much rather be in Hawaii than here in Minnesota though.

I'm actually in the process of ordering a custom set for my M3... I don't know if I'll drop the coin on a set for the X5, but I do like. Did you get them from iND?
