Will this be plug and play for a 2005 545i sport? I love how the steering wheel feels. As for the M button, will i still retain that diamond useless button? Anybody did this yet?

I know M5 steering wheel is different from an MSport one, but would this be any help?

edit: I just realized that maybe you're not asking a DIY but the possibilty to change it...

I'd re-wrap mine in alcantara or suede, if I found a place that'll do it on the cheap... heck, I'd even try a DIY, if anyone could give me some "learnin"
