Completely OT..... Paddle shift conversion on Tiptronic gearbox

As above.

Basically is this possible? E39 5 series auto with tiptronic. Is it possible to make/buy some paddles and some how wire them into the + and - on the selector?

Thanks
Dan

This is a subject that interests me. From what I have leaned so far you would probably need to install an aftermarket gearbox controller, after which the paddle wiring would be easy.

Do you know which make and model of gearbox it is?

Well you need to find out if you want to pursue this.

Shouldn't be too difficult, I did it with Jaguar recently, bit of googling and some cross referencing.
