Paddle Shifters

Paddle shifters turn every gear change into an instinctive move, without taking your hands off the wheel. On track or on open roads, they add an immediate sporting dimension to the driving position, whether on a BMW M Performance, an Audi S line, or a Mercedes AMG Line.

Paddle shifters: taking control of your automatic transmission

Many automatic transmission owners never use the standard manual mode, simply because the ergonomics are not satisfying. Well-designed paddle shifters change that: shifting becomes natural, one finger is enough, and your eyes stay on the road. This is especially noticeable during dynamic driving, exiting a corner, or executing a quick overtake.

On a BMW with an M Performance interior, they complement the sport inserts and stitching on the steering wheel. On a flat-bottom Audi S line, they logically extend the sporting staging of the cabin. The same logic applies on a Mercedes AMG Line: the paddle shifters become a full part of the cockpit, not just an accessory.

Choosing your paddle shifters: what to know before ordering

The catalog offers more than one hundred references spread across BMW (41), Audi (28), Mercedes-Benz (20), and Volkswagen (13). The available families cover fixed paddle shifters attached to the hub and rotating paddle shifters that follow the wheel as it turns. The choice between the two comes down to your preference: fixed paddles are always in the same position, rotating paddles stay within finger reach regardless of the wheel position.

The main thing to watch is compatibility: from one generation to the next, mountings and connectors differ. Note your chassis code from your vehicle registration before selecting your reference. The sub-pages by brand and by model guide you directly to the right parts.

Do paddle shifters work with my car's Sport mode?

In the vast majority of configurations, the paddle shifters interface with the transmission through the factory system, without any additional electronic modification. They simply activate the manual shifting mode already built in by the manufacturer. The various driving modes (Comfort, Sport, Sport+) remain fully accessible and functional once the paddles are installed.
