Flappy paddle issues!

[Martin W]

Sheared the Torx screw on my upshift paddle resulting in an excessively flappy paddle!

BMW want £5 a piece (which I will gladly pay to get it sorted even though it's daylight robbery) but haven't got one so will have to be ordered from Germany and I'll have to wait a week.

Anyone know where I can source one from in a hurry?

Cheers!

Torx is simply the head type. Allen will do.

Take the other side one off and take it to a fixings supplier, or measure the bolt and buy on line. Thread will be standard.

BTW, A week is a stupid amount of time to expect to wait to get a bolt posted from Germany.

It's the thread that's different from most bolts I know. Bolt is about 3 to 4 inches long but only the bottom half an inch or so has any thread, the majority of the bolt is threadless.

Any thoughts on somewhere that might stock that kind of bolt (online or otherwise)?

Bit more bespoke than I guessed then.

Buy from BMW with next day delivery, or live with the dealers rubbish delivery time, and "drive stick" for a week
