No not yet. I plan on installing it on my own in the coming days. There seems to be a few different ways to install this. I can make a circuit to connect the paddles into the transmission, or use the existing wires from the paddles and add a connector to the end and tap into the transmission. I will test a few different methods to see which works the best. My goal is still to be able to remove and add the wheel incase I ever sell the car. I will let you know which method works best. Once I feel comfortable installing this on my own car, than I would feel better installing this on other members X5.

On a side note, the X5member who bought this wheel from me had it installed at a place in center city, philly for around $200 bucks. They spliced and shrunk wrap the wires from the paddle shifters directly into the transmission and it works. This would be a more permanent of an install.

Surreal: I think that Drew has a few of them...pm him I am sure he can get you a good deal on one...if you don't have a round airbag you will also need the airbag (aprx. $500) and a new SMG clock spring/steering contact unit (aprx. $80) I love the wheel, there is nothing like an M wheel it feels better than any other wheel I have ever owned.
