2016 BMW X5 X line steering wheel swap?

scottjays · 11-09-2015, 09:49 PM

I'd like to know if it's possible to install (purchase) the M steering wheel on a 2016 X5 X line... I like the X line look alot, except that skinny steering wheel has to go...
I'm coming from a '14 X3 Msport... tried searching threads, didn't see anyone doing this... I know the Msport has paddles and the xline does not. It would totally great to get the paddles working but I'm not expecting that...just the wheel itself would be great...anyone got the definite answer

I believe that along with a new M Sport steering wheel, you will need the airbag that fits the new steering wheel and also coding.

@scottjays , yes it is do-able.
Some has done it and I have sold a few set of steering wheels.
All you need is the coding for the paddle shifter to work.
Let me know if you want to get a quotation for them.

Yes you can. Thanks to Ben at RG Sport, I upgraded my 2014 X5 XDrive35i No Line skinny steering wheel to the X5M. It looks and feels awesome. It's not a cheap upgrade, but IMO it's worth every penny.

Thanks. Yes I'd love a quote. I have my 2104 X3 coded. Didn't even think the paddles can be coded to work!

Pm me the last 7 of your VIN, so I can look up your vehicle options.
I can even build you with X5M steering wheel trim.
