Another M-Sport Wheel Installed!
 I pulled the airbag fuse instead disconnecting the battery. With that, it took me 15 minutes flat to make the swap, and no warning lights after all was buttoned up. However, I did have one glitch... When I took it for it's first test drive, the wheel was just slightly cocked to the right when going straight ahead - perhaps 7 - 10 degrees, although the alignment marks appeared to be just about dead on. I've read a few other posts where folks had the same issue. Well, I was not happy with that at all - it would certainly drive me crazy. So, back into the garage, fuse out, airbag off. I turned the wheel back to the left just one spline on the shaft. It seemed to look like a lot at first and I thought for sure it would be cocked the other way on the next test drive. The alignment marks were actually a little less in line than when I did it the first time, but still really close. Well, I buttoned everything back up for test run 2 and it was dead on - psyched!  Thanks for all the help & tips everyone! - especially Rob, Jeff, & JV! Here's a couple pics...

Awesome! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!! I was thinking about turning my wheel 1 notch to get it back to 'center'--I think you have inspired me!

Rangerfan -
...and if you're really careful, you don't need to disconnect the white connector again to do it! - Took less than 10 minutes, maybe even 5, to move it over a notch. Go for it! I do love it - love the thickness & the leather. My car handles better now, is quieter, runs smoother, and shifts better - all because of this new wheel!

Congrats on the install, that looks awesome! It is exactly what I want on my X3. Can you let me know what you paid for the wheel and airbag?
