Product Description

 

The JQ Werks Madtrace® Magnetic Paddle Shifters are a premium paddle shift upgrade for compatible BMW F Series, MINI and Toyota Supra applications. Designed to improve shift feel, interior styling and driver engagement, they replace the factory plastic paddles with a more tactile, high-quality magnetic paddle system.

The Madtrace® magnetic mechanism delivers a crisp, positive click with every shift, giving the driver a more precise and satisfying gear change. The adjustable design allows the paddle angle and distance from the steering wheel to be fine-tuned, helping create a more comfortable and responsive setup for road, fast road and track-focused driving.

This latest paddle style features a carbon fibre inlay set into a gunmetal anodised CNC-machined billet aluminium paddle, giving a more weighted and premium feel while retaining the carbon fibre appearance. For customers who prefer a cleaner motorsport look, full CNC-machined silver anodised billet aluminium paddles are also available as an option.

Designed for direct fitment on compatible BMW F chassis models, the system is suitable for a wide range of applications including F87 M2, F80 M3, F82/F83 M4, F85 X5M, F86 X6M, selected non-M F Series models and BMW i8. Installation is designed to be straightforward, with assembly instructions included on the back of the box.

Each product comes with a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty against defects on the mechanisms only. Cosmetic wear, blemishes and normal wear and tear are not covered.
