BMW F Series / G Series Magnetic Carbon Fiber Paddle Shifters

Designed for owners of BMW F-series and G-series vehicles equipped with the factory paddle-shifter sport steering wheel, these Magnetic Carbon Fiber Paddle Shifters magnetically attach over the OEM paddles. No wiring, no modification, no drilling — simply place the carbon extension over the OEM paddle and powerful magnetic retention holds it firmly in place. Manufactured in Europe and quality-controlled by BYC Performance.

These paddle extensions widen the OEM paddle surface, improving shift ergonomics and adding a premium 2x2 twill carbon fiber touch to the cabin. The shifting experience sharpens — your hands never leave the wheel. High-grade 2x2 twill prepreg carbon fiber + neodymium magnet substrate.

Key Features

• Magnetic Retention: Strong neodymium magnets clamp firmly to the OEM paddle — no wiring, screws, or adhesive.
• No Modification Required: Installs in 30 seconds, removes in 5. Steering wheel is untouched.
• 2x2 Twill Prepreg Carbon: Premium carbon fiber weave under a high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Wider Paddle Surface: Larger contact area than OEM paddle — ergonomic gain during shifts.
• Broad F+G Chassis Coverage: Compatible with most BMW F-series and G-series sport steering wheels with paddle shifters.
• No Warranty Impact: No steering wheel disassembly — factory warranty unaffected.

2x2 Twill Prepreg vs. Wet Carbon

• Autoclave-cured under heat and pressure → more homogeneous weave
• Controlled resin ratio → lighter and stronger
• A production method widely favored in motorsport
• Minimal UV fade
