E70 LCI non-sport to sport steering wheel swap with paddles
Happy to say the paddles worked perfectly with no coding or wiring required! Got the wheel for $150 off ebay, and the sport airbag cover for $30. Lots of guides on swapping the airbag guts to the sport airbag cover so I'll skip that and go right to pictures.  Before:  Airbag gut swap:  After:  I gotta say the sport wheel is much nicer. It's a smaller diameter for sharper turning radius, and much fatter for that sporty feeling. Paddles are pretty cool, but I doubt I'll use them much. Just wanted them so I could downshift at will when towing my boat. One thing I noticed - before I'd have to lower the wheel entirely to get it to feel right when driving. This one I had to raise by ~30%, so there's that bonus. Last edited by str8shot; 06-08-2018 at 11:31 AM.

Looks great! This is one of the items on my to-do list. Been watching for a reasonably priced and in decent condition heated version for a little while. Paddles not necessary in my case, but I can't lose the heat function, else I have to drive with gloves in the winter.
 How long did it take?

E70 LCI non-sport to sport steering wheel swap with paddles
Is there anyone who has done this with a heated steering wheel and somehow retained the heated wheel functionality?

I'm not sure about the E70, but in my E53 I wanted to do this but it was not possible. If you have the heated wheel all the wires in the clock spring are occupied...  Did they ever make a sport, heated wheel with paddle shift? If it was able to be optioned together you can probably do it by replacing the clock spring along with the wheel. Otherwise... it will be the same situation I'm in with my E53.

But since I have a heated sport wheel on my E70, I'd rather not give that up for paddles.
