No extra pins that came to my notice. Two connectors from wheel harness just clicks into 2 connector jacks on the X5.
Just like that and direct snap. Hope that helps.

This is great to see. I am still looking for an X5, and the lack of paddle shifters was very disappointing. Glad it can be fixed so easily.

Did the paddle shifters come with the steering wheel, or were they separate?

I have an M Sport, so I already have the steering wheel but would be nice to add the paddle shifters.

They came along with the wheel. i guess all X5M wheels do come with DCT pedals.
And talking about that I thought 50i M-sport comes with pedals like X6

Thanks - I just sent an email to Tischer asking about this, so we'll see what they say.

So I wanted to write this post and confirm that the shifters work like a charm and steering wheel feels great. I have a sports activity and I think it comes pre-wired to work with paddle shifters. I will post some pictures soon.

I have a 2011 X5 D with the Sports Activity Package and Adaptive drive. From what I read online if you have these packages then it comes pre-wired for the paddle shifters

I am trying to find a steering wheel with paddles and heated option. When I do, I am planning on doing this install. Will keep you all posted.

This is the wheel I am thinking of getting. Need to talk to their tech support first. Maybe a group buy?

I am thinking of asking for piano black trim on the wheels instead of the carbon fiber so it will match the rest of the trim.

Interesting... I read on the 5 series forums that you can also add the sport button on a non sport pkg car and when the button is pressed the handling aspects is achieved. I wonder if this also works for the X5.
