G30 Performance Steering Wheel? Will it fit?

After seeing how much attention it has grabbed regarding new X3M40i's being delivered with no m-sport steering wheels, it got me thinking there must be an easy fix.

Found this G30 performance steering wheel online, anyone know if it's an easy swap over? I would assume all G series would be interchangeable since the majority of F series steering wheels were interchangeable...?

If anyone can chime in that would be great! FYI, these are $855 (+ $30 for autos) Think this would look really nice on the X3.

Maybe...but it is a quick no if you have heated steering wheel function.

Unless you're happy to eliminate that function?

Florida here..so never used it in 4 years of having our RRS.

Please take some time to read this other thread if you get the chance. You can skip to page 10 ~ post 200.

I believe this wheel you post will *probably* work, but you have another challenge in that if you order this wheel you'll be missing about 8 other pieces. The front thee-spoke piece, the buttons, control modules, airbag, nothing else is included. They expect you to transplant them from your existing G30 M sport wheel.

I have received a G30 M sport wheel to try and am waiting on my car. Stay tuned and we can give out better info on how to replace your wheel.

Already read all through that thread - kind of the reason I started up this one.

Looking forward to see if you're able to retrofit the G30 M sport wheel!

Ok, sorry. I guess for me, having the advantage of spent hours researching it seemed like a redundant question, but you’re right that the this wheel would be interchangeable with the standard G30 MSport, if that works, but you still need all the extra bits.
