Anyone know if these M3 CF paddles fit our X5M's?

Messaged the seller and asked if it will fit.

Yes- they'll fit.
That's basically the same designI had but just different finish.
I bought the M3 fitment after confirming M3 and X5M use exact same DCT/AT shifter pedals.

It's def a lot of improvement over stock since you can reach pedals from very natural steering position (10 o'clock or 7 o'clock positions).

Thank you for this info.
How hard is it to install this? Do I need to remove the airbag or can it be done on the side? If I have to remove airbag, I understand I have to disconnect the battery. What will reset when I do this? Clock? M settings? Radio stations?

It's very simple. Just call your shop and pay small money. They'll take care of it. =D

I know some people do it without disconnecting battery or take whole steering wheel out (I saw some DIYs from M3 and E90 forums before). If you're handy person, I believe this is DIY project. But as I didn't want to go through hassle, I just asked my shop to do it.
