My Ride: 2010 E63 AMG -- Palladium Silver/Black.
Love this car but looking to switch things up to keep things fresh. 2nd AMG in a row, but toying with coming back into the BMW fold!

[/quote]Trust me, I could care less about the "heated" part of the heated wheel. I go from heated garage to heated garage every day. My interest is solely in a thicker wheel.
IMO, there is nothing worse than buying a $68K car with a sport package to find out upon delivery that the wheel is thinner than a Ford Taurus, which sadly may not even be true.
Remember, my solution is $800 cheaper than getting the ACS version.

I did that exact mod. Bought the heated wheel for about $400. Had it installed - 1 1/2 hours labor. No problems, great new wheel.
I did not get the heat connected, as that's irrelevant to me, and it might seem a little wierd to have a heated wheel and no heated seats when you go to sell the car. Maybe not.
I love the difference. The benefit of this over the sport wheel is that the electronics and airbag move don't need to be replaced, so the cost is much lower.

I have the sport steering wheel in heated version.
It seems that the heated version of sport steering wheel is marginally thicker than the non-heated version. Anyone ?

Buy the wheel and mount it. You dont have to hook it up if you dont need the heat.
