After many sketches, trials and 3d printed prototypes we have come out with a version that looked amazing and worked perfectly with this beefier steering wheel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/paddleshifterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PaddleShifterz-carbon-fiber-paddle-shifters-for-G-series-BMW-F90-M5-side-shot-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/paddleshifterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PaddleShifterz-carbon-fiber-paddle-shifters-for-G-series-BMW-F90-M5-side-shot-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-88402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paddleshifterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PaddleShifterz-carbon-fiber-paddle-shifters-for-G-series-BMW-F90-M5-side-shot-2.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/paddleshifterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PaddleShifterz-carbon-fiber-paddle-shifters-for-G-series-BMW-F90-M5-side-shot-2-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/paddleshifterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PaddleShifterz-carbon-fiber-paddle-shifters-for-G-series-BMW-F90-M5-side-shot-2-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/paddleshifterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PaddleShifterz-carbon-fiber-paddle-shifters-for-G-series-BMW-F90-M5-side-shot-2-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/paddleshifterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PaddleShifterz-carbon-fiber-paddle-shifters-for-G-series-BMW-F90-M5-side-shot-2-64x64.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">PaddleShifterz Carbon fiber paddle shifters in a BMW F90 M5<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Aluminium to Carbon Fiber<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we usually do, we have first launched this new shape in aluminium, with 2 finishes: gloss red and matte black.

We have chosen this technique because this gives us the best quality products and we can easily produce hundreds of shifters without ever worrying about quality issues rising. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/paddleshifterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PaddleShifterz-Carbon-Fiber-paddle-shifters-for-FG-Series-and-Supra-red-main-image.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/paddleshifterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PaddleShifterz-Carbon-Fiber-paddle-shifters-for-FG-Series-and-Supra-red-main-image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-92355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paddleshifterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PaddleShifterz-Carbon-Fiber-paddle-shifters-for-FG-Series-and-Supra-red-main-image.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/paddleshifterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PaddleShifterz-Carbon-Fiber-paddle-shifters-for-FG-Series-and-Supra-red-main-image-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/paddleshifterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PaddleShifterz-Carbon-Fiber-paddle-shifters-for-FG-Series-and-Supra-red-main-image-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/paddleshifterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PaddleShifterz-Carbon-Fiber-paddle-shifters-for-FG-Series-and-Supra-red-main-image-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/paddleshifterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PaddleShifterz-Carbon-Fiber-paddle-shifters-for-FG-Series-and-Supra-red-main-image-64x64.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">PaddleShifterz carbon fiber paddle shifters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This technique gives us the highest quality product possible, and the best thing is they are 100% made out of carbon fiber (except the piece that connects to the electronic part), since we believe your BMW deserves only the best materials, no glues or extra screws needed to install our shifters, in fact you can check out our <a href=\"\/fr\/install-paddle-shifter-in-your-car\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">install videos here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carbon Fiber, Aluminium, or Magnetic \u2014 Which One Fits Your BMW or Supra?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since we&#8217;ve now built this shape in more than one material, here&#8217;s how to think about the choice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Carbon fiber<\/strong> (this product) is the lightest and stiffest option, hollow-molded with no plastic core \u2014 the closest thing to a motorsport-grade feel, and what we&#8217;d recommend if look and feel matter most to you.<\/li><li><strong>Aluminium<\/strong> is the more affordable route into a real upgrade over the OEM plastic paddles, without the carbon fiber price premium \u2014 a solid choice if you want the improved shift feel without the top-tier spend.<\/li><li><strong>Magnetic<\/strong> kits are the most flexible: they clip on without permanent modification, which is why we also sell a <a href=\"https:\/\/paddleshifterz.com\/fr\/magnetic-downgrade-kit-for-bmw-toyota-and-mini\/\">Magnetic Downgrade Kit<\/a> \u2014 genuinely reversible if you ever want to go back to stock.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This shape now covers the F4X\/F9X and G-series BMW platform, as well as the Toyota Supra A90\/A91.
