My latest mod - what do you think??
 

SMG Steering wheel

I know it has been done many times before, but this has to deserve some feedback - cost me a bloody fortune!! (£1200 in total - all BMW parts except the wiring loom which was purchased from 'Mr. Paddleshift'). Was going to fit the thing myself, but couldn't be bothered - chucking it down with rain and thought I'd pay for my local $tealer to do it for me - they charged 2 hours labour. Quite surprised that an authorised BMW centre would fit a non-BMW wiring loom....

Anyway, here is the pick -

What do you guys think????

I'll tell you what I think - a great mod. Gripping this wheel is much better than the standard sport wheel - this is softer leather, chunckier etc etc. The paddle shift is a bonus :thumbup:

Looks great.Nicely done.
Have you done the rear cam install yet?

my dealer wouldnt do it, but got the ferrari dealer to do it for me 2hrs also but i had to use the SSG wheel for the 4.8is i love it. congrats

Nice.....looks great are there any issues installing them on a 4.4?

That is a good looking wheel. Love the stiching.
Enjoy..:thumbup:

Yeah! Looks awesome and I'm sure you've already discovered the joys of paddle-shifting...

Rear cam?? Haven't even thought about that one. I'll do some more research on it. My next mods are exhaust system and a tunit box.

I did lots of research on this paddle shift mod. It was more common for 4.4, 4.6 and 4.8 owners to have them. I don't know any 3.0d owners to have it other than me ;) . But I could be wrong.

Many have said that the mod was of more benefit with a trans. software upgrade.

But if you have a 4.4 - should be a great mod to have.

nice

Thanks Amit. You got your dent fixed yet?
