No, im with you. I’m not giving up my heated steering wheel.

The only thing I can maybe hope for, is anyone who does make a quality aftermarket one, can make the wheel get hotter. I loved my heated wheel when I had my Hellcat, it got very toasty. On my M4 it's pretty weak. Wouldn't mind it being able to get hotter lol

So, Wesley said anywhere from 25-35 days from the time I placed my order to delivery (California to Ontario, Canada) and he was spot on!! Not only did it arrive as promised, it came well-packed and looked incredible. I would post pictures however my rear tire blew out and I had to have the car towed to the dealership for a complete set of tires so they told me they would install the steering wheel at the same time for $130 more. I will post pictures once I have the car back in a few days!

Im not as worried about the carbon, as I am the blue centering stripe in the picture. It looks to be a few ticks to the right. But, that may just be the camera angle. The OEM carbon will probably fit, so, we can negate that. I live in close proximity to the SF, where Wesleys profile says hes located. Not sure if he has a shop, or just does these on the side, but maybe I can see someone local with one, first.

So Wesley was spot on with the delivery time and quote. The wheel is fantastic and exactly what I asked for. Finishing is superb and comms with Wesley were spot on. The bonus: My heating function still works albeit it takes a few minutes more to warm up the complete wheel but within 10 mins I started to feel it and I live in Canada so this was important. Here are some pics

Sorry for the sideways pics

That does not look the the LCI steering wheel

Had to request a charge-back from the bank because I was first promised a discount that never arrived, then promised a full refund that also never arrived.

Your refund has been applied. Hadn’t been able to get around to messages due to personal health issues.

Refund was applied first thing once I felt a bit healthier. I sent you a screenshot.

Well, finally mine was delivered on Wednesday and installed yesterday.
Steering wheel itself feels good quality. Even thicker than OEM. Carbon pattern isn’t there yet of course but for me, it’s enough.
Now, this is a challenging DIY installation as there are some parts that don’t fit. At least for me as I have ACC pro which needs additional module and the touch of the steering wheel for self-driving.
I will do a full DIY later.

Did you get the heating option? If so, where is the button located?

There, and works normal, but I know I will never use it. Lol

Did anyone else not get their orders? So many of these fly by night auto accessories brands born on social, deliver subpar items or don't deliver at all. Not saying that's the case here with this company but I would not be surprised if it is the case.

We have just got the Genuine BMW OEM 2025+ LCI Steering Wheel in which retrofits nicely to the pre-lci G8X. Comes in Alcantara or Leather and its OEM so you know the quality is there.

Agree that carbon looks like it was laid by a toddler

New carbon as in the trim? Or an example of actual carbon on the steering wheel?

The carbon on the steering wheel. You said it's been improved. The part that was holding me back from getting one was the terrible looking weave on the first batch.

Most people’s complaints were on the trim as it was extremely wavey, I haven’t actually had anyone complain about the carbon on the steering wheel itself to be honest.

Sorry, yes the trim (not the actual rim of the wheel).

Dasky_spas · 10-14-2024, 11:05 AM

It seems the carbon trim was obviously the issue. Not sure why the vendor is postponing to provide pictures, closeups of the update..
