what do i need to do to make the oem m5 steering wheel fit my 2005 e60 525i.
the stocker is too thin IMHO.
i guess i will need to buy airbag as well.

Hi there I think there is a M Sport wheel , I wanted to do the same mod , but by the time you have done the airbag (its a differant shape etc)
its well expensive Up near the $1800 from the dealer
If you find out differant let me know
Good-Luck !

I do not know how it would work on an SMG vehicle. It should be plug and play as it already has the wiring for the paddle shifter but I heard the SMG non M5 is a bit different than M5 paddles? You can push to down shift and pull to up shift but on M5 is + - two paddle pull option.... somebody correct me if I am wrong...! I bought my stuff from a user name Freed0m who got the kit from my530i, but it was almost brand new with NO sign of scratch or wear, i thought maybe freed0m drove em with gloves on even though he had it for a few months....its so strange when I think a steering from a car in Northern California is now with a owner in BANGLADESH in a Right Hand Drive vehicle...how crazy is that....may God bless us with more wonders of the internet....

Simply Jealous. Your ride looks sick. I need to do this. I will call the idiot dealer monday to get pricing.
I think the airbag is what is gonna kill me.
