Sport heated steering wheel
 

I retrofitted th X5M steering wheel in my 4.8i.. I have the sport heated steering wheel available if anybody is interested with the trim and controls.

I'm interested, but noticed that on my '10 non-sport steering wheel two right buttons above/below the heating button have different icons. Looks like this:

Same function. my m steering wheel has the same indicators as yours. Works just fine.. plug n play except that my wheel for sale is heated and has the extra heating button in the middle ... the top is for voice i think and the bottom to change source.....

oops... just notices your non sport wheel is also heated. Should work perfectly.

How did toy retro fit it?

Its very simple... instructions are posted in the forum. took me about 15 minutes. However, I got the M steering wheel with the paddles. The paddles do not work. From everything I read on the forum and the web you need a module and coding for the paddles to function.

On mine top button is to change radio/CD source and bottom toggles outside/inside air intake for A/C

The wheel has been sold on ebay via buy-it-now.

I wonder if this would work without too much work, Terry is a good guy and would certainly talk to you about it if you call him, might be worth a try BMW Paddle Shifters | BMW Performance Parts | BMW Paddle Shift | BMW E90 Performance | 328i Performance
