Well, I just did it...

I had the Sport steering wheel from my 2003 F1 swapped with the ugly one on my 2006 4.8...


It worked ok, on both X5s


I followed xoutpost.com tutorials and disconnected the battery first, protecting the Airbags; so, when reconnecting the battery, some warning lights lighted on both... but wise me, I did all this at my friend's shop with his scanner, preventing this issue about those lights.


The scanner guy re-calibrated the steering position and cleared all lites. Just a stubborn dsc light on the 4.8 did not went away, so I came back here (xoutpost.com) and found that a short drive around the block fixed it (steering sensor) so I did…


Bigger smile now on my face.
