Magnetic Paddle Shifters - BMW G Chassis & A90 Supra

Magnetic paddle shifters for the BMW G-Chassis and A90 Toyota Supra offer a major upgrade over stock plastic or rubber-damped paddles in terms of performance feel, responsiveness, and driving engagement.

Here are the key advantages:

Advantages of Magnetic Paddle Shifters – BMW G-Chassis & A90 Supra.

1. Crisper, Faster Engagement

• Magnetic switches offer a tactile, “clicky” response—far more precise than the mushy feel of OEM paddles.
• Each shift gives a mechanical, race-inspired “snap,” improving feedback and confidence in gear changes.

2. Motorsport-Inspired Feel

• Mimics the sensation of race car paddles used in GT and DTM cars.
• Especially useful during spirited driving or track use, where you want instant shift confirmation.

3. Extended or Custom Paddle Lengths

• Most magnetic kits offer extended or customizable paddle shapes, improving ergonomics and reach.
• Ideal for track or performance use, where your hands may not always be at 9-and-3.

4.  Improved Build Quality

• Usually made from CNC-machined aluminum, carbon fiber, or billet materials.
• Significantly more durable and premium-feeling than factory plastic paddles.
• Resists fading, bending, or wear over time.

5. No Electrical Wiring Needed

• Magnetic shifters typically retain OEM electronic functionality (they actuate the same microswitches).
• Bolt-on installation—no coding or complicated electronics.

6. Reduced Unwanted Flex or Play

• OEM paddles often have slack or delay between press and actuation.
• Magnetic units feel instantaneous and tight, minimizing play and enhancing control.

7. Customizable Tension or Feedback (on some models)

• Some kits (e.g., from AutoTecknic, KMP, AC Schnitzer, or MAD) allow you to change:
  
• Magnet strength (light, medium, strong)
• Click sound or dampening inserts

8. Increased Driver Engagement

• Makes daily driving, canyon runs, or track days more interactive and satisfying.
• Every shift feels intentional and rewarding, which complements the turbocharged torque curve of the B58 (Supra) or G80/G82 M3/M4.
