Steering wheel bolt size?

Folks, I will be replacing the stock wheel with a carbon fiber wheel. Does anyone know what size of the wheel bolt and torque? Or the whole process of removing airbag and buttons on G82 model?

Any help is appreciated.

To be honest if you don't already have the right tools for this kind of job maybe you shouldn't tackle a steering wheel removal..

Airbag manipulation can be extremely dangerous.

I thought the G80 came with a carbon fiber steering wheel, no?

Looked like you've never touched it anyway hence your statement.

I have done dozen of such types of job in various cars I've owned and there is nothing dangerous about....if you know what you're doing

This is new car platform so I thought there is different bolt size and trim setup and just wonder who has done before me. So I could have benefit rather than starting on my own.

Unfortunately I have done these jobs and much more, I only wanted to save someone from an injury but you seem confident with your past experiences.

As for a DIY, I found this one wich should be very similar, took me 2min. of searching

Sure thanks for the effort. I can find it myself. I'm asking the G8x specifically. There are similarities but also variant across models so just wanna check for this new platform.

What kind of wheel are you going to install ?

Have a link ?

Why do you need the size of the bolt/nut in advance ? It should be a regular size metric socket

What model G series did you buy/own that you want to do this mod ?

Custom made empty wheel

It could be the same, I have done on my wife car X02 but again as said this is a whole new build so could be a different one. BMW uses different type of Bolt and size, Audi has different type and size, and same goes to Merc and so on

What model G series did you buy/own that you want to do this mod ?
On my first post. I would not think there is a different between MT and competition, would it ?
