Well I swapped my standard sport wheel for an M3 wheel tonight, real easy to do, only took me 20 - 25 mins following the initial guide and reading through this topic. Thought everything was going far too well......
Connected and secure the new wheel, everything hunky dorey, no faults, just had to reset the time on the clock. However, I have a 2005 e91, I've fitted a pair of LCI halogen headlights with angel eyes and subsequently fitted upgrade LED bulbs to the angel eyes. When I reconnected the battery I did exactly as the guide advised and put the key in the slot and put the lights on dip beam, however the LED angel eye bulbs are now flashing and only cease when I switch the lights fully on and off again. Annoyed is not the word, the bulbs were £40 for the pair. |

This DIY works with my DCT M3 wheel
Fwiw I followed this guide and installed an M3 DCT Steering wheel into my 2008 manual transmission 335i. Used this wheel be ause I got a great deal (used). Thanks to OP. I made one mistake..... In step #1, I was trying to find the airbag clips in the crack between the wheel and the steering column. Once I realized tet the screwdriver is supposed to go in two tiny slots on the backside of the wheel, things went very smoothly.

just got done installing my new msport wheel. ~30-45 min. little more work for the paddle shifters and two more stubborn plastic connectors. looks and feels great.
great write-up. it was all i needed to get it completed. ![]() the trick with the screwdriver with the flat side parallel to the floor and not to the wheel works great. Last edited by haulmarc; 11-06-2011 at 08:41 AM. Reason: edited ratings |

E92 M3 DCT Steering Wheel retrofit
Hello everyone,
Following all instructions in this thread, I've tried to install an original M3 DCT steering wheel with paddle shifters to my new 2011 E92 330i. Everything seemed to work just fine, until I tried the paddle shifters. The automatic transmission didn't change to "DS" mode and didn't respond to the paddle shifters. After checking the wiring, found a different pin setting between the original paddle shifters on the original M-sport steering wheel and the SMG paddle shifters from the M3 steering wheel. However I still haven't been able to get the M3 paddle shifters to work. For the time being put the M-sport steering wheel back and everything working fine again. Still hope to get the M3 SMG paddle shifters to work. Any thoughts??? |

I think you have an compatibility issue between how the paddle shifters for the M3 DCT and the Steptronic work and wired. You made need a wiring adaptive similar to what Burger Tuning sells: http://www.burgertuning.com/paddleshift.html.
Not sure but that's what it sounds like the problem may be. Good luck. |

Thanks for the write up. Just installed an M-Sport on my e90. What a difference the softer, larger wheel makes (especially when cold).

Help!
Bought a replacement airbag on Ebay... went to put it in and everything was fine until I tried connecting the wires. The green one will fit, the black one will not. The back of the airbag unit looks a bit different.
I did not receive the wire that connects between the airbag itself and the connector in the wheel (presumably beside the connector for steering wheel controls, etc). Could it be that I just need this wire? Or do I completely have the wrong airbag? Everything except for the back plate make it appear identical to mine. Car is disassembled now and can't drive it... help!? ![]() |

So if I buy this wheel off of ebay do I need to buy an M cover to fit it? Or will the cover from my sport wheel fit perfectly to it?
