Hey,
I'm looking to upgrade my non sport steering
to either a sport or M steering wheel. I have
a few questions. How much will the dealer
charge to do this? Will those 2 steering wheels
even fit on my car? If they will, will i also
have to purchase a new airbag? Lastly,
anyone have any to sell?

go ebay it..its like $200...

AW330i · 06-25-2006, 06:20 PM

you will need to purchase an airbag which will make the conversion very expensive but other than that it is a very simple procedure...

AW330i Thanks for this info man can u help me out i got a couple ??
So if I buy an Mwheel of ebay for 200$ will I lose any controls on my wheel?

To install it I need to buy an airbag?? whys that dont I have one already in my stock wheel?

If you want the steering wheel controls, you have to re buy them as well. You basically need the entire wheel, nothing is reusable from the non ZSP.

So obviously you can see why I didn't do it.

Type "M-Sport Steering Wheel" in the search box and you will have a large amount of threads regarding this topic to browse, all the info you need is already posted, everthing has been covered.

Search for marcus's thread. He had a non-sport 325i, and had to buy the bracket and airbag because the M-Wheel uses the ZSP airbag, not the non-sport one.

ksfrogman · 06-25-2006, 07:59 PM

One more thing. The clips for the airbags on the ZSP and non-ZSP steering wheels are different in how you release them.

if you have about $900 to dish out, thats about how much it cost to do this conversion.

No suede option so far from BMW. The ///M wheel is leather.

Sometimes I don't understand people did not get the sport package ($1500) at the beginning, then later on decided to spend more on upgrades such as new steering wheels, 162 wheels. Not include sport seats + sport suspensions.
I didn't get the sport pkg because I thought it's too stiff, but after I got the car, I realized I made a tirrible mistake. I've kept kicking my ass for not getting it since. I still don't upgrade because it's too expensive compared to the original package. I'd rather save for the next one. For now, I keep my 330 as a family car.

zzinco79 · 09-19-2006, 11:00 AM

I have a pre-september ZSP steering wheel.

Just steering. no cover, no airbag.

Please let me know if you want it.

i will give you a nice deal.

HRC · 09-19-2006, 11:10 AM

I agree Jimmy!
