1. Vehicle Compatibility (G-Chassis)

This wheel is a direct fit for the following models produced between 2017 and 2024:

2. Steering Wheel Features

• Material: Premium Nappa Leather with the signature M-color tri-stitching (Blue/Dark Blue/Red).

• ACC Controls: Left-side button cluster includes the “Distance” rockers and the Mode toggle for semi-autonomous driving.

• Vibration Motor (Option S5AS): Most ACC-equipped wheels include the internal motor for Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot haptic alerts.

• Heating (Option S248): Available as an integrated feature; the activation button is typically located on the lower center spoke.

3. Component Checklist for Retrofit

If you are upgrading from a standard “Sport” wheel to the M Sport version, ensure you have the following:

1. M-Specific Airbag: The M Sport wheel uses a circular, compact airbag. The standard trapezoidal airbag from a “Luxury Line” wheel will not fit.

2. Paddle Shifters: If your car has the Sport Automatic Transmission (S2TBA), you will need the M-style galvanized shift paddles.

3. Vibration Generator: If your car has Driver Assistant Plus/Professional, you must ensure the donor wheel has the haptic motor installed.

4. Technical Note on ACC (Active Cruise Control)

⚠️ Important: If you are retrofitting this wheel to a car that does not currently have ACC, the buttons will not work by simply plugging them in. This requires:

• Hardware: Front-facing Radar sensor (Long-range) in the lower bumper.

• Wiring: Updated DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) unit compatible with stop-and-go.

• Coding: VO (Vehicle Order) coding to add the relevant S5AFA/S5DF codes to the car’s FA.

5. Why Choose Genuine BMW?

BMW steering wheels are integral to the SRS (Airbag) Deployment System. Genuine M wheels are manufactured with specific magnesium cores that are crash-tested to ensure the airbag deploys at the correct angle. Aftermarket “carbon-wrapped” wheels often compromise the integrity of the heating elements or the touch-sensitive “Hands-On” detection sensors required for Assisted Driving.
