Did you get the steering installed on your F30? If yes, then from whom did you get it eventually and could you please share all the details?

I am planning to get the steering of my 3GT upgraded to Msport one.

Yes i did get the m sport steering last year. The steering was sourced from Redline Autohaus in Mumbai. The paddles work flawlessly and since my car did not have cruise control, even that works now after coding.

The steering wheel costs 90-100k depending on exchange rates, since your car must have come with paddles, you would not need additional wires which runs into the bcm, he provides the same if the car is not pre wired. Last step is coding which would enable the paddles and also cruise control. Bmw in their wise wisdom did not give the cruise control button on the steering even though the module is there, since the m sport steering has cruise control buttons, even that works now.

Installation was done in Delhi at GT Tunerz where i had got my car remapped, the need for paddles was felt after getting my 320D remapped, added bonus is that this thick m sport wheel is a joy to use. You can speak to Redline Autohaus about the wheel, mine got delayed as we were reeling with covid at that time and we are at the same spot this year too.

Re: Steering wheel options for the BMW 7-Series

Apologies for hijacking the thread; I recently picked up one of the last of the E90 320D's M Sport to be registered in the country (Jan 2013), it came with a lot of M performance goodies, including a flat bottom steering wheel similar to the link below.

https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-part...b3J5IFBhZ2U%3D

It supposedly has a lot of features, but in my car, it just does the start up sequence, is there anyway to enable all features of the steering wheel in my car?

Attaching a photo from my car below.

Thanks, coolboy007 for sharing the details. The steering wheel does look great.

Will get in touch with Redline Autohaus and hope to get one installed soon.
