In the 3rd picture from top you will see the vibrator weight is hanging on to a motor. That is for lane departure warning.
As per ETK if your SZL has heating you can have lane departure warning without changing SZL but otherway round is not possible. If you car didn't come with heating or LDW you will need new SZL, now finding SZL with lane departure and heating is a mission. I gave up sometime ago. I retrofitted paddle shifters so been thru all these.
SZL base part number with steering wheel heater and/or lane departure warning is 61 31 9 204 504 but if you have just lane departure then the part number 61 31 9 204 503. If no lane departure or heater then part number is 61 31 9 204 505 (and even coil part number changes) These different part numbers must be for a reason, I don't know what exactly is different between them, possibly extra contact wires between the base and coil of SZL.
GLWS, I wasn't really lucky. I got rid my steering wheel for £49 here.

yeah im in love with your wheel too, I want it so bad but everything new in my case would run me close to 2400 I'm not to sure thats worth it LOL. The one thing i think I prefer the other style paddle instead the idea of pushing and pulling doesn't seem too appealing to me

If you are talking about the steering wheel posted in the first post of this thread, YES it's still available.

Nice, thanks for the quick response. I just sent an email to the address you posted also. I offered a lower price than what you asked because the SZL is not included. I would have to purchase this in addition to the wheel. Is it possible to include the SZL since the car was crashed? Then I would pay at least $350 for it. As it is I offered $250...

Are you sure they are heated? This has lane departure warning, I don't think it is possible to buy lane departure warning + heating + paddle shifter. Also it will need new SZL.
$400 is too steep for this. I sold mine for £50 + delivery here in the UK. Why this doesn't have thumb holder on the top arch? It is all flat, is this OEM steering?

Can you give me more info on this? I want to purchase this wheel to get the paddle function in my 2007 530i. I don't have heated wheel or lane departure now. Although they would be nice to have, I really just want the paddles to work. Would I still need an a new SZL? If so, obviously I would get an SZL that is compatible with paddles and lane departure (I dont care about heated wheel, I live in hell - Phx., AZ
) do you happen to know the average cost of an SZL with these options. Best case scenario is I use my current sport wheel's SZL, airbag, and buttons and the paddles will work plug & play. Somehow that just sounds way too easy for our e60's 
Any info would help, thanks.
