These are just ideas... but with another members help (v12), the help of someone who may be able to produce these, and some interest.. we may be able to get the ball rolling on this.
- X5M style paddle - Full aluminum construction - "+" and "-" logo engraved and/or - "+" and "-" logo illuminated (like the E60 M5) - Option of raw alum or black alum I feel this upgrade would mainly appeal to pre-LCI M5 owners (or those who have the pre-LCI style steering wheel). But, it doesn't hurt to gauge interest amongst all M5 owners. The feel and "click" should be able to be improved on as well. Something the pre-LCI paddles lack (compared to E60 M5 and X5M). Here is a photo of the X5M paddles.

I'm in... who do I make the check out to?
I would really like something that looks OEM. The things that always turned me off about most aftermarket paddles is they are just too much design wise. Either too big or with 10,000 holes, or in chrome red is not for me.

Never driven an e60 or X5M, but do they click when shifted?

The X5M paddles are aluminum (don't glow). The E60 M5 and X5M paddles, while different, both operated better than the pre-LCI M5 paddles. Best way to explain it is they have better feedback and feel than pre-LCI M5 paddles.. they have more of a reaffirming click and double shifts (and shifts in general) were better as a result.

Added everyone else who said they were interested. I checked your profiles to determine if you have a pre-LCI or LCI.
Anyone else who is interested, please mention what M5 you have.
