Removing the negative lead is much better practice when removing a battery. Also you can close the boot lock manually so there's 0 chance of closing that boot 👍
Try some leather cleaner it has ph like 6 I think. That should remove the oil shine from the hands. Let me know know if looks! And wrap rise do alcentera! I like the one with red for sure.
So I have a non Msport 535 that doesn’t have paddle shifters, would I need anything on top of an m sport steering wheel with paddle shifters to switch it over and have it functional ?
Hey there bud! Love the way you smoothly changed that steering wheel. Seemed so easy! I was wondering if you can help me out with the steering wheel, I just got my BMW and I don’t want to take it anywhere to get it done. How much would you charge me to install it on my BMW?
Remove the positive, only? Maybe I missed it. Thought we only really need to remove the negative? Every video I’ve seen except yours has said to remove only the negative connection on battery.
@ 10:03 you said its a dual-stage airbag but yours is actually triple stage (3 connectors on the back vs. just two). I was wondering if you knew whether or not there's a huge difference between them because I cant find anything online about it.
Hopefully you can shine some light on this question I have. I have a 2015 f36, literally the same car with minor differences but for changing the steering wheel its pretty much the same. Currently I have the stock wheel with paddle shifters, and heated steering. I want to switch over to the mstyle wheel eventually. I don't really use my shifters ever so would I be able to get a new steering wheel without the paddle shifters and install it without having any problems? And also the heated steering wheel, does it need to be specified when buying that it's able to accommodate that? Hope you're able to help out! Awesome channel👊🏼
Yes and yes! You can do exactly what I did which is install a new msport wheel without paddles but with the heated function. You'll need to make sure the new wheel is heated (equipped with the heating strip inside). The seller should advertise this. Thanks for the support!
Nice work. I followed your technique and it worked after getting super frustrated. After installing the wheel I got driver restraint system error. What might be the issue it you could help bro??
I want to do this with my F36 (430i GC ‘17) but every m sport steering wheel i find custom or OEM all say that it wouldn’t fit my car. Right now I have the same steering wheel as you had. Any idea on if it’s even possible ? Great vid btw
I’m seriously considering wrapping my f30 wheel too. I think alcantara on the sides and smooth leather on the top and bottom would be slick. Pls make another vid on the wrap! Interested to see if it makes it too chunky🤔
Sorry for the late response! We hope to offer steering wheel upgrades soon, but I'd suggest eBay in the meantime. Lots of pre-owned M-sport steering wheels there
Great video! Can you explain if there is one wire harness or two on the steering wheel itself. I am like you and have the heated wheel function so not sure if that is a separate harness. Thanks!
I purchased steering wheel with eu airbag and coded driver’s airbag from us to eu. M-Wheel with paddle shifters and airbag cost me €350 in almost new condition, from 2017 f30. Just an idea how to save money on this conversion)
A K yes you can, but you need to code appropriate type of the airbag for your vehicle. US and EU airbags are different - US is dual-stage, EU is single-stage.
A K it’s absolutely safe. You should code only airbag in the steering wheel. Other airbags leave as is. After coding your vehicle will “know” what type of airbag installed and works correctly. My BMW has no errors or warnings after installation and coding.
trying to get in touch with through FB and IG, but no luck... I need help with installing my wheel, was hoping you could assist and make some extra cash on the side? let me know!
Dude removing that airbag was The biggest PITA for me. Took hours. Very smart to turn the wheel sideways. That's pretty genius
It really is a PITA! I'm happy to offer an alternative method. Thanks for the support man!

Great video brother! Keep it up, greetings from Germany!
Thank you!! Greetings to you as well
How do you rotate the wheel when it’s locked ?
How are you turning the wheel with the battery disconnected ?
The steering wheel can still turn without the battery connected... it's just really hard to turn 😂
That’s great, and easy to do, but the biggest concerns are the buttons functions and most importantly airbag module controls, did it require reset?
Plug and play! Though I may have had MyBimmerBrain code the airbag now that I thunk about it

you should install a lip on your f30
CAPTAIN yea I wonder what kind of m3 style lips are out there for the 328i I know some sell it with the kit.

Im searching for This too.
Changing steerings doesn’t affect functionality of the wheel ? all those buttons are working volume etc

Just did my steering wheel but I got error code 930910 Airbag Driver Valve: Resistance too big.
Any idea how I can get rid of this code?
I resolved this code by contacting mybimmerbrain
Where’s the link to buy the steering wheel?

Will my 335i with the regular sport wheel (paddles and heated) be plug and play if a buy a new M Sport wheel with paddles and heating?
great video bro
Hey! Just wondering how did you get that plastic housing around steering wheel off? Because i can’t get it off. Thankss
I’m seriously considering wrapping my f30 wheel too. I think alcantara on the sides and smooth leather on the top and bottom would be slick. Pls make another vid on the wrap! Interested to see if it makes it too chunky🤔
I was thinking the same! I'll definitely be making a video!
Instablaster.
I like the channel..what editing software do you use? Thanks
Thanks! I use final cut pro x
Hey, I’ve got a 2010 328i 2 door, the steering wheel is like garbage, I wanna change it for something hot, plz help me choose or any suggestions?
Sorry for the late response! We hope to offer steering wheel upgrades soon, but I'd suggest eBay in the meantime. Lots of pre-owned M-sport steering wheels there
Hey man, did your heating keep working after you installed new m sport wheel coz mine stopped working.. light doesent go on in the heating button
Yes it still works. I would check the heated wheel connections to make sure they're still good.
okey! i try thanks
is the new steering wheel from the same generation or a newer generation? Can a 2020 wheel fit on a 2014 car?
I'm not sure if a 2020 wheel would fit a 2014-- unlikely it would wiring wise. This wheel was from the same generation (F30) 3 series.
Does heated steering wheel work after a new steering wheel
Yes, if you purchase a heated steering wheel
Great video! Can you explain if there is one wire harness or two on the steering wheel itself. I am like you and have the heated wheel function so not sure if that is a separate harness. Thanks!
One harness, but there is an additional connection inside the cowling that I removed in the video.
would you be down to sell that sport wheel?
Everything is for sale for the right price!
Does the original big wheel have to have paddle shifters in order for the new steering wheel paddle shifters to work ?
No it doesn't. You can add paddle shifters to non steering wheel car
where to buy stering
Hi, nice work! Do you want change your dashboard to led in future?
Thanks! Yes I do want to change my dashboard to led screen

What do you mean you coded airbag from us to eu?
I live in EU but my car is imported from US. Can i fit EU steering wheel and airbag?
A K yes you can, but you need to code appropriate type of the airbag for your vehicle. US and EU airbags are different - US is dual-stage, EU is single-stage.
@@andyfunkstep is it safe to do so?
Does it function as a standard euro airbag than? What about the other airbags in the vehicle
A K it’s absolutely safe. You should code only airbag in the steering wheel. Other airbags leave as is. After coding your vehicle will “know” what type of airbag installed and works correctly.
My BMW has no errors or warnings after installation and coding.
@@andyfunkstep okay so there is hope for the new wheel afterall 😄
Thank you!
Are you going to change the emblem on that wheel too?
I'm tempted, but steering wheel emblems are especially difficult to swap
I like the new steering much better , thank's
What about your Idrive screen?? do you have a video about it?
That screen came with the car from factory
trying to get in touch with through FB and IG, but no luck... I need help with installing my wheel, was hoping you could assist and make some extra cash on the side? let me know!
Do you think a 2014 f30 (328i non sport version) is already pre wired for paddles?
Impossible to tell without checking
@@JDCarsChannel alright thank you!
sooooo', why didn't you give it a good cleaning/leather treatment before the install . . . smh
Hi
🤟🤟💪🔥
Can i have your old airbag please :(
I enjoy your longer videos
