Everything work, except the gearing + and -.. Any tips?

Hosse, when you removed the steering wheel, how do you know that you put it back on correctly? I.e. - since the DSC monitors steering wheel angle, what are the chances that you put the steering wheel on a few degrees off? Is it easy to make this mistake or are the differences in degrees position obvious enough that you won't put the steering wheel back on incorrectly?

I am asking since I had a defective heated steering wheel which got replaced. But now I noticed that the steering wheel is slightly turned left. The X5 tracks perfectly straight, however.

I installed my M-Sport wheel myself a month or two ago. You can tell it's aligned since there's a little line on the rod coming from the steering column and a line on the steering wheel itself. Just line them up and you're done. Same setup on my '01 E39. Impossible to misalign unless you completely ignore that. You can't see it on his pic since it's under the large bolt that holds it in place.
