We've had a few E9X M3's, 135i, and 335iS install our pans. Haven't heard from them so I would safely assume everything is working fine. We haven't had a chance to place it on our shop's F13 M6 as of yet due to how busy we have been here.

You guys made an excellent high quality product. Congrats. This isn't something everyone will want to jump on, but some will. Either because they need it or can just appreciate the mod for what it is and having their DCT running colder. Preventative maintenance (not reaching the DCT error point).

The logo replacement was a very good idea. Product looks better and I'm sure cools better.

I just want to throw this idea out to you because it's been brought up earlier and v12 and I were talking about it for a while. ( Ping @v12 )

Looks like you guys clearly have access to a CNC machine and are very capable at developing a product from CAD design to a CNC machined finished product.

Okay so here's the idea, and there is a current demand and I can only imagine it being a common mod to buy for M5 owners. Especially for pre-LCI but LCI owners are also interested.

M5 aluminum shift paddles with engraved +/- symbols that are illuminated. Either by micro-perforating small holes (think Apple) or just outline cutting the area out and having light shine through the + and -.

Illuminated paddles were on the E60 M5 but they were plastic.

As far as design, it would be something very similar / the same as the X5M shift paddles.

Anyways, think about it. There are about 15 people ready to buy a set as described in this thread:

I don't want to take this thread off topic so if this interests you at all, post in the above thread link.
