what's the benefit of the M5 steering wheel? You have a pic of your one by any chance?

F7 for E53. Select "Chasis", tab over and select "airbag", hit enter. F1 to read error memory, F2 to clear it. Done!

It's thicker and has thumb rest. Feel much better when driving. The //M on it is priceless
Should be the same as the one on my E39 now.

my '02 4.6iS had the ///M on the steering wheel, and it was NOT heated...

the '06 4.8iS does not have an ///M on the wheel but the wheel is heated...
