M Steering Wheel and Heat

[bimmerman11]

What is the part # on the wheel shown in the first picture?

I can only find the alcantara M wheel when I search. I'm only interested in the tri-stitch M wheel.

Thanks.

You probably already have your answer, but I just picked up my 13' X5SAV w/M Package and the heated steering wheel controls are on it. I believe the previous years M wheel didn't have it but mine does; hope it helps.

I believe there was some confusion (supported by the 3/20/12 ordering guide) that you could not order the M-Sport wheel 7XA *and* the cold weather pkg (248) and obtain a heated M-Sport wheel ... it appears as though some forum members have proved this wrong ...

If it did have the shifting paddles this thread would not have been started because the steering wheel in the X5M (which I believe your are referencing) DOES have the heated option and the shifting paddles. I had my sales guy exhaust all channels and every response back now is the same. No heated MSport steering wheel, No shifting paddles. What kills me is the X6 has shifting paddles option but not the X5. Heck are these cars basically the exact same from the Bpillar forware with the exception of the bumper??

I hate to break it to you, but the 2013 X5 with ZMP (M-Sport) pkg *does* have shifter paddles on the 7XA wheel (but not I believe the 710 wheel) - I have one sitting in my driveway, and despite the order guide claiming that the heated wheel option (248) could not be ordered in conjunction with 7AX it appears as though some members may have succeeded in ordering such!

p.s
7XA != 710 != wheel on X5M AFIAK

I think you will have to look at the X5M parts catalogue to identify that part #

Sorry to bump an old thread. Are MSport models (3.5/5.0) prewired for heated steering wheel to retrofit in an X5M steering wheel?
