I have a Sports Heated Steering Wheel with Airbag for sale. Bought this not too long ago and didn't realize it wont fit my car. I'm still debating on whether or not I should just retrofit it to my car or just buy the ones made for my car.

Steering wheel is in perfect condition 9 out of 10.

Airbag is BRAND NEW!

Has M-sport buttons.

This set up is made for 9/05+ E60

Asking $1100 shipped

 

I thought pjinca was gonna help you with the retrofit. Well, this is a hot item. You'll get the cost back. GL with the sale.

 

Do you say it wont fit becasue you have pre 09/05 and this steering is post 09/05? Well, there is a retrofit for that you need to buy a part.

 

Correct, the steering wheel+airbag is made for cars with a production date from 9/05 and on. My car was made in 7/05 therefore I would have to retrofit the wheel to my car if I decided to keep it.

What part would I need to buy to retrofit this?

 

Thanks!!

I never heard back from pjinca, besides that I need someone who has actually done this before.

 

Ok, I found the part: it is Coil spring (#1) http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...hg=61&fg=35

Parts #: 61316976395 or 61316976394

I believe you need to buy the post 09/05 one then replace it with your current pre 09/05.

Better ask Pjinca who knows better than me.

 

This for the heating option, which my car currently does NOT have so why would I need this "coil spring"?

 

no, there are 2 options for heater or not.... this coil is for attaching and fitting the steering wheels... if your coil is for pre-09/05 won't fit for post 09/05 and you need this coil from post-09/05
that is what I was told. I haven't done it yet.

 

Hmm that's strange... They never mentioned this in the DIY retrofit thread. Can someone confirm this?
