    Is it easy to change the up shift paddle microswitch?
    Any tips much appreciated.

      Yes, it's pretty easy. Mark put a video somewhere on this site that shows you how to take the airbag and steering wheel cover off. Once you have access, it's trivial to change the switches (although BMW only sell the complete set for £100 ).

      You need a long thin Torx driver (T20 or T25 I think )to get to the rear bolts on the steering wheel cover, and then be very careful with the shift paddle screws as they are VERY easy to shear off :banghead:
