Steering Wheel upgrade options?

jeronimus · 10-31-2022, 11:35 PM

Thoughts on steering wheel upgrade on the G8x? Im looking for something purist-type. Something similar to the M4 CSL or the M5 CS. I'd even consider the partial Alcantara M Performance.

OEM CSL

You would lose the heating function.

$2185 tho. I know it comes with the the paddles and carbon trim but damn. A lot of us who want this already have those parts. Is it possible to order just the alcantara portion?

BMW only offers it as a full assembly currently. Will keep an eye if they ever plan to offer only the steering wheel itself.

Thanks. My goal is really to have the CSL look. I don't care if it comes OEM or not.

Looks > heating 😂

Sp2pilot · 11-01-2022, 04:18 PM

Do any of the LED wheels support the heating function?

six-n-twins53 · 11-01-2022, 05:10 PM

I have this on order from my dealer. Couldn't order it separately.

Alcantara wheels don't seem to feel as cold as the smooth leather wheels imo

1BAD4DR · 11-01-2022, 06:09 PM

Dang it this looks clean with the small paddle shifters and not so thick I would have bought that one if I saw this a month ago.

Anyone want to buy my Carismo one?

If you already have the carbon paddles and trim, you'd be able to fetch a good amount of money to offset the CSL price.

Is this thicker than the standard wheel in the M3/M4? It looks to be in photos and videos…

And do you guys have the ability to swap out the red center stripe for another color?

What about for a manual. Is it the same wheel and you can just take the paddles off and replace it with covers from my wheel.

yes

The only difference that I can see between this and the M Perf is that the CSL is full Alcantara.

Why not get your wheel restitched to look like the CSL steering wheel?

Who can do that with a high degree of quality? I want alcantara but want heating function. PS: don't say DIY, I suck at stitching lol

It's easier than you think.

Not for me. Want to do it for me (for a fee)?

Limegrntaln · 12-07-2022, 10:06 AM

Losing the heated wheel is the nogo for me. As much as I hate aftermarket options, this will have to be aftermarket. Luckily, it can still be OEM, but recovered.

Most definitely! Ship that wheel and cover to me. Honestly, I genuinely enjoyed doing mine. I didn't get it right till the second go, but it really does look nearly OEM.

But as we all know, IND definitely provides the best workmanship on wrapping wheels. Theirs being a 10/10, I'd say mine is a solid 8.5/10.
