No it will not, since BMW released some wheels that supports heating (given you install one with heating). There is even a full alcantara one with heating available.
@@paddleshifterz Thanks for responding. I’m aware that heating is available on the LCI wheels but there is a heater button on the pre LCI but not on the LCI wheels.
@@tonyhall2336 yea I also wonder if I install that on my PRE LCI then how would I turn on heating? 😂 I don't think that retrofit is going to work...the only was is to go aftermarket with the same looking wheel but they do put the heating button on the wheel so you can still turn the heating on
@@MartyNguyen611 there may be a way, you can currently set the heated wheel to switch on automatically when outside temperature drops below a preset temperature, this feature may also work with the LCI wheel???
Yes, you can use these: paddleshifterz.com/product/oem-bmw-steering-wheel-rear-shifters-cover-32305a29d29/ Or wait till the manual version of these wheels are available. Currently BMW doesn't have an ETA for them unfortunately.
Just purchased the alcantara wheel from you guys. 😍 Thanks for the video. Can’t wait to install it.
Hope you enjoy it!
The Best one in Germany 🚀🚀
🥰🙏🙏 thank you
If installing the LCI wheel on a pre LCI G8x with wheel heating, will it cause a fault code because there is no heater switch on the LCI wheel?

can you fit this one into an X4 M40i?
You might be able to, but you also need to get a new airbag, and probably do some coding.
@@paddleshifterz would that also be the case for the X4M?
is there a specific part number for the rear cover? my car is a manual. would the rear cover need extra parts in place of the auto paddles?

There is no way to turn on heating in a pre LCI car with this LCI upgrade.
Can be coded on pre-Lci idrive8
@@chris3g I got a 22 G82 :( switch is on the steering wheel…...
You can always just get the one without heating (and lose the feature). If you got an M Performance wheel, you would lose the heating too.
@@paddleshifterz might also have to code it out……no one knows yet
