Custom Steering Wheel Question - DCT vs. Manual

I'm looking to order from a one of the aftermarket vendors on ebay. When looking at wheels, they do not have paddles.

My car is DCT.

Can any of the wheels be used with paddles? Or does it need to be a specific paddle shift wheel?

Here's an example

Thanks.

No the DCT has a specific wheel with cutouts to install the shift paddles. It is also slightly different from the non-M E9x automatic steering wheels.

Got it. I can re-use my paddles, airbag, etc. I only need to buy the "frame" correct?

Thank you

You carry over both left and right button assemblies, paddles and airbag.
