Steering Wheel retrofit from Non-Sport to M-Sport
I looked everywhere and failed to find any information that will clearly state what it will take to change from Non-Sport (regular) to M-Sport steering wheel on 2013 535XI pre-LCI. If someone has done it or knows, please share the information.
My car has heated steering wheel but a non-sport, regular steering wheel. I don't want to put M-Performance or M5 but just update to a steering wheel if the car was originally ordered and sold with M-Sport package (downside of buying used vehicle) . I don't have any other fancy features (i.e lane departure, etc..). I looked on www.realoem.com and found many different options and after doing the research identified that I will need to get the following, as none can be reused from my wheel: 1. Steering Wheel itself 2. Vibrator Generator 3. Control Button module 4. Bottom decor plastic cover with M logo 5. Air Bag, Double Stage for US. My car has Automatic Transmission and I believe it is a Sport AT (I do have a button Sport/Comfort/ECO). I am not sure about options www.realoem.com provided in regards to 'Sport AT' and 'Sport AT=No'. Are there Non-Sport AT in US models? Can some one confirm if that is it? Is wiring harness connector the same between None-Sport and M-Sport models? Thank you for your help in advance.

Thanks sgt_gman2005. I guess it is very doable. I see you have done it to your car but you went wit the latest wheel design. I want to stay with pre-LCI M-Sport. Yours looks awesome but I am not sure I want to go this route. In either case I will have to get all of the components either way.
Did you reuse the original Vibrator Generator or purchased wheel came with one already?

If you have neither Active Blind Spot detection nor Lane Departure Warning you don't need the vibration generator. I believe the steering wheel P/N will be different as well.

I am trying to do this retrofit as well (to performance steering wheel 2).
The list of parts I was told to get includes: - Steering Wheel - Connecting Line/Cable (32307848331) - Rear Cover (32307848267) - Airbag (32307845798) - Multifunction Switches (61317849407) - Control Unit (61317848638) - Screws (32307848333) Currently waiting on the connecting line and screws to become available. I supposedly had the wrong connection line/cable before.
