Longer paddle shifters

Does anybody know where to get something like this? eBay and Amazon did not help (they are usually not for an F06 with an M Sport steering wheel).

These are all over Amazon. The ones pictured by BlackBMW are actually extenders that just stick on.

Here are the ones I have sitting in my Amazon wish list.

I've been looking at getting some longer (M6 style) paddle shifters as well, though I'm a bit wary of plastic ones like the Amazon link appears to show. I think metal or all-carbon shifters would feel a lot more rigid, more tactile, and just provide a better "click". Of course, they all seem to be 2.5x the price!!

AliExpress has a bunch.

Carbon Fiber
Aluminum (various colors)
Better "stick on" option

Hope this helps.

Aliexpress was a good clue! Thanks.
Yours use the existing shifters, but my photo does not show them. I guess the installation included removing the factory ones.

Ok, i think the reason why I didn't find anything useful is because i wasn't expecting them to be in the $100-200 range

Think I will order Nelson Racing ones.

Anyone has experience with the installation?

Yes, those stick on will not fits the M steering of a FO6. Better check with the seller before commit. Take a photo of your paddle and share with the seller, this will saves you the hassle.
