Description
MINI Cooper S F56 Carbon Fibre Shifter Paddles CT487
The CT Carbon MINI Cooper S F56 Carbon Fibre Shifter Paddles (part number CT487) are a direct bolt-on upgrade for drivers who want a sharper, more tactile gear change without touching the factory electronics. They are built from high-quality pre-preg carbon fibre in a high-gloss finish with red accents and a red-textured rear section for grip.
Made for the F56 generation MINI Cooper S and shared across a wide range of BMW F-series and G-series models, these paddles replace the standard plastic units with a lightweight, premium-feel carbon fibre piece that noticeably improves the feedback and finish of the steering wheel controls.

Does it fit the MINI Cooper S F56?
Yes. The CT487 shifter paddles are designed for the 2018-present F56 generation MINI Cooper S steering wheel and bolt directly onto the factory paddle location.
What is the paddle made from?
Each paddle is manufactured from pre-preg carbon fibre, the same autoclave-cured process used for structural motorsport carbon parts, giving a rigid, lightweight paddle with a genuine woven carbon finish rather than a carbon-look wrap or sticker.
Will it affect the factory paddle shift electronics?
No. The carbon paddle is a direct replacement for the factory plastic paddle and reuses the existing mounting point and mechanism, so the electronic paddle shift function is unaffected.
Does it improve grip and feel?
Yes. The rear section of each paddle has a red-textured finish that improves grip under hard acceleration and braking, while the high-gloss carbon face gives a noticeably more premium feel than the standard plastic paddle.
What other cars use the same paddle?
The same CT487 paddle fits a wide range of BMW F-series and G-series models including the F87 M2, F80 M3, F82/F83 M4, F90 M5, G20/G21 3 Series, G22/G23/G26 4 Series, G80/G81 M3, G82/G83 M4, X3/X3M, X4/X4M, X5/X5M, X6/X6M, 8 Series/M8 and the A90 Supra, alongside the F56 MINI Cooper S.
