I've just seen that on other threads and am following suit.

I'm getting alot of interest so why can't I just post to this thread the pricing info, etc?
You can. There is no problem with that.

Haha - OK guys just got confirmation from the vendor that he was cool with it too! Just wanted to make sure

Yeah I bought it from here: http://www.dallassteeringwheel.com/
I paid $480 including shipping.

Talk to Don - great guy.
I'm not sure if he has any more diamond airbag heated E60 wheels for us pre-LCI'ers - but you can ask.
I think the way he usually operates is that you ship him your wheel to be re-covered as you wish.
I think I just got lucky that he ran in to one.

But, after I install this new wheel I would have my extra heated steering wheel that I would be willing to sell.

I'll prob post it up on classifieds.

Great mod! and one I would love to do also.
I'm with v_therussian. How well does the heated wheel work after installation?

I know there's already one available, but make your own DIY on the install. Take lots of pics. Sweet mod!

Wheel didn't fit - it's totally different underneath the airbag and at the rear where it assembles.

Totally frustrated at the moment - but, live and learn.

I know it fits an E60, but no idea which year and model - just know it's not an 2004 545.

Anyway - I'm willing to sell at my cost $480+shipping.
That's firm as the vendor has already offered me a full refund.

Here are the pics- please make sure it will fit your car before contacting me please.

So, check out where I got the yellow circle - in my wheel there is some kind of electrical module that goes in place of just the rubber here.

Check out where I got the black circles - I have a totally different config on the back of mine.
