Anyone know the part # for this steering wheel? Looks like the M5 one without the paddles.

Which car comes with this?

Is it heated?

Do you have pic in the back?
If non M5 (///M only), part number is 32342282751
If M5, part number is 32342282862

this is the steering wheel that you get with m-pack here in europe.But if you choose SMG you get the SMG steering wheel.I am not sure if you guys there in the US can get that as an option as long as you dont have m-pack but you will not do that right? you want to retrofit

Is there any way to get this heated?

I really love that option on my triangle steering wheel

Looks like he wants to retrofit M5 steering wheel with paddle shift.
Carfreak,
How much are you willing to spend?
You need to buy:
M5 SMG steering wheel
Two paddles
Round airbag
Steering wheel trims
Multifunction buttons
My paddle shift kit

That's quite an expensive mod. Some members are from Europe bit the bullet to buy new parts.

Good luck

So far, not yet. However, the M5 steering wheel is thick and it feels much better than the triangular wheel.

Actually I'm tired of my trangular steering wheel. I like the new style with the thumb rests and the thicker leather. I would get it in a second if it was heated.

I wanted the wheel w/shifters, but my friend w/a e39 never uses his paddleshift.

By the way, everytime I see your signature I keep thinking of the paddleshift mod :'(

I don't know what your friend thinks, but once you have paddle, you will know what your friend miss. Try his and see how it goes. M5 paddles touch is much better and looks best at night with +/- sign illuminated.

Well, he does have a 540i (V8) I wish someone in the east cost w/a 530i had this to test out.
