This screw and wire should already be there in your old wheel...

I'm getting the airbag light &I have an 325xi. I just now tried turning my wheel to the left &right, but results. I also disconnected the battery during installation. I installed a oem sport wheel with paddles, (waiting for my custom wheel link) the paddles &the down on the volume don't work. I'd love some help.

Hi there,newbie here.I wanna replace the standard steering with the M tech version. Anyone can advise how to remove the multifunction connectors on both sides? I tried to pull them off but they seem to be tight in position and there is no 'slots' to insert a watchmaker to pry out the connectors. Any kind soul can advise? Many thanks

Thanks Bavarian19 for the great DIY! I just completed my swap to the M-Sport Perforated Steering Wheel and everything worked without a problem.

akack79 · 09-14-2009, 07:13 PM

Thanks for everyone that contributed to this DIY, a lot easier than I imagined!!

Kurfer · 09-14-2009, 08:11 PM

What a great DIY! Finished my install in about 1 hour, hardest part was getting the paddle shifters unplugged.

Now to sell my old wheel!

Thanks!

Ya me too. I just pulled on it firmly straight out, thought I was gona break it!!

Yinger · 09-17-2009, 05:54 PM

Great write up! Followed the instructions exactly and took about 45 min for the install. Installed the M3 tri stitched which is installed exactly the same way.

Roleez · 09-18-2009, 03:53 AM

Props to the originator of this thread! Bought a CPO 330i in which the previous owner wore out the black color of the steering wheel to the bare SKIN! I'd expect that in a car with over 100K, but not 24K. Followed the DIY steps to install an M-tech wheel in less than an hour. Now it feels like I'm driving my M5 again!

klerk · 10-19-2009, 08:04 PM

new member here. m sport wheel will be the first thing i change to my new 335i. does anyone know the difference between the following wheel pn's:

32 307 906 846
32 307 839 114

i've seen both numbers referenced in different DIY's. TIA.

g9sBMW · 10-20-2009, 04:45 PM

getbmwparts says Part number 32307906846 was superceded by part number 32307839114.

klerk · 10-20-2009, 08:17 PM

does anyone know if there are any physical differences between the two wheels? i assume i should stick with the 114?

aquaanox · 10-28-2009, 12:50 AM

So i have done this mod successfully on my 328 e92 MT , and just picked up a 335 auto sedan with paddles today. The thing is, i dont really want the pedals, can i simply get a m wheel without paddles, and not put the paddles back in ? (vs having to buy one with the cutouts etc) will that work, anyone done this ?

Bump,

I'm going from the standard wheel to the m-tech- so i dont think my old wheel has this screw. I've got the new connecting line cable- perhaps its in there.

Also, i've purchased a new airbag- does the airbag mounting bracket come with it?

Thanks

g9sBMW · 10-28-2009, 01:33 PM

If you're wheel doesnt have the screw and grounding point. Find a screw at hardware store and u can fabricate the grounding pin with a speaker terminal crimp on available radioshack, pepboys etc. good luck

also, i assume the existing paddles can be used on the m wheel with cutouts ? tisher has separate part numbers for the paddles when you order the wheel. tia.

MounisM · 10-29-2009, 04:31 PM

Hi i replaced my steering wheel with a new steering wheel. I had a non sport 06 330xi. I did everything that was told. Now when i turned the car on. i get the 4x4 sign and also break sign in orange? i think they are the only 2 sign that are on?? any help i hope i told everything.

curtistealer · 10-31-2009, 12:19 AM

I have e90 2007 320cp

I've bought steering wheel, airbag module and coil spring cartridge..
1)Steering wheel w/ paddle shift (Part No. 32306777631)
2)Airbag module (Part No. 32306770515)
3)Coil spring cartridge (Part No. 61316989557)

I want these paddle working as OEM. So I took the 2 cable lines from gear box to fit in coil cartridge.

Picture below is coil cartridge and steering wheel cable.

I assume that red- marked green plug which came from the steering wheel has shift up/down signal.
but my coil cartridge doesn't have pins for that..Instead there's only two plastics..

should i buy another coil cartridge? or... what should i do?

catch · 11-11-2009, 02:56 PM

I jsut did this install in literally 15 min... great DIY here!
if it werent for this I woudl have brought it somewhere to get done.
Anyone looking to do this and is scared, dont worry, these instructions make it look harder then it actually is!

Kg810 · 11-12-2009, 12:06 PM

Hey, quick question here... So if I am going from non-sport steering wheel -> m-tech... do I still have to go through the steps of removing the airbag and stuff? Or is there anyway to just remove the whole non-sport steering wheel and put on my m-tech steering wheel? Thanks.
