NEW ArmaSpeed FORGED CARBON PaddleShifters for my M3 (F80)

[vlcsnrs]

I got the ArmaSpeed forged paddle-shifters on my 2018 M3 (F80) and I gotta say— it definitely adds more luxury and character in my cockpit!

The install was really simple— no bolts or screws needed. I simply just used the provided double-sided 3M tapes by ArmaSpeed. It's pre-cut to shape so you don't have to do any cutting! I don't think these would easily come off. But if there comes a time that you would wanna take them off, simply use heatgun to "soften" the glue.

After using this for almost a month now, I always enjoy seeing this behind my steering wheel. It adds such a nice touch!

In terms of convenience— the paddle shifters makes it much easier to paddle shift as you guys can see on the photos above. It's more than double the size of the stock ones. Additionally, it's not obnoxious regardless of its size. It's there, but not as if you want the whole world to see it.

If you're curious to know more about the product, I linked it below:

Sorry, those are ugly. Not sure if its the finish, or the soap like film on them, or the ugly logo, or the color of the logo and misplaced +- signs.

Not a dig against you, but if I'm going to stick something on, its gotta integrate a lot better.

Nice sponsorship post!

The mixed colors, mixed corbon structures and shinny leather are far away from adding luxury as mentioned by you...

It's probably the color. Not a fan of it, but I can't tell them to change the color of their logo..

Not doing it as a sponsorship post— just wanted to share my input.

I agree with you on the color. But I can't do much with that.

Mixed carbon— I see where you're coming from. Forged carbon is a messy design to begin with.

imo shifter's that just slap onto the existing shifters never looked good. I prefer the ones that are single piece, makes it more clean.

Same, the add-ons always look clunky and don't flow with the OEM paddles. Plus they're gigantic.

Additionally, the forged looks OK but looks off when you have standard CF elsewhere in the interior.

Everyone think they're out smart BMW design engineers.

Agreed, it's German Engineering for a reason

Looks like feces

[itsaflex]

I mean if I was an "influencer" or "social media superstar" I would be repping on brands/products that I value only. If it looks like feces, I wouldn't be hyping them as luxurious and sending people links to purchase them. But then again I am not a "instagram superstar", I buy all my cars and mods with my money so I only choose the best. Just my two cents.

[larsek]

all these put-on paddle shifters are ugly af. "save-a-lot tuning" imo

I’m guessing the intention was to make this God awful product/thread go viral because any publicity is good publicity? . I’ll contribute.

Lemme guess, you've got your IG handle on the rear quarter window as well?

Creating threads on car forums only to promote your Instagram and your sponsored mods should be banned. It's like those e-thots spamming dating apps with their onlyfans and premium snapchat accounts. Same content on every account, cars hardparked with some awful caption and a million hashtags.

Come on, bro, help us make car forums great again.

Blue car with a lot of red interior details and this horrible pads extensor? Fugly.

Fully agree with @swagon, accounts that simply try to promote their Instagram accounts should be banned.

Thanks for sharing!

Oh boy. That’s rough.
