Underrated video by far. Thank you.

[@gabrielgeniodomal]

i have a e46 328 1998, with a multi conector stering wheel, and just one airbag wire, I bought a e46 sport stering wheel, wich has two airbag wires and one plug wire for all the controls, radio and cruise, how can I do that work ? Some aftermarket harness or something ?

[@etwasbauen6615]

Hi im not sure, one is a dual stage air bag. There maybe a conversion harness.

I happened to find this video. Thank you so much for this video. I'm so appreciative I subscribed to your channel & I'm watching several of your videos.

Great Video!!

Torque spec for this nut is 46ft/lbs for anyone who’s curious

[@Nielutz]

Doesnt the airbag light come on so that you need to code it to the car?

[@etwasbauen6615]

It shouldn’t come on at all.

Hey ​@UCvVZg1U76jyV0DHEzpZ-s_A quick question, I want to replace the square single stage on my 99 3 series to an M sport steering wheel (dual stage) besides the airbag light and the fact that it probably means in case of accident it won't work at all, is there anything else I should be aware of? do they all fit? Do I have to look for any specific year for example? Thanks in advance!

[@etwasbauen6615]

Hi unfortunately im not 100% sure. They all bolt on the same. As far as which airbag works with which year im not sure. Thanks

[@ali12096]

Hello please i have BMW M sport on my BMW E39 does it fit to BMW E46?

[@camerongray655]

will all the buttons work on the new wheel? for the volume and other things?

[@etwasbauen6615]

Yes they will! Thanks

[@lexbrusb.1821]

will that work on 2000 bmw 3?

[@etwasbauen6615]

Yes.

[@shcbcjjcjdbdbsnebudlzldnc6134]

Will it work on a 02 325i??

[@fromajaraclette]

will I wake up tomorrow ?

[@basbgt9782]

So al of the connectors are the same?

[@etwasbauen6615]

Hi, yes they are all the same! Thanks

[@mikecarroll5083]

Does this work for an e53 as well?

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

I just got an E46 323i, and it has the basic steering, just like your old one but even more basic without any buttons. I want to upgrade it, but Idk what to do with the old one.
What am I supposed to do with it? I don't want to waste it because it's still a pretty nice product. And I doubt anybody would want to buy it, since peoplewant to upgrade their car, like I want to do now, not downgrade it.
Can I send it back to BMW somehow?

[@RenarsKrastins33]

keep it as a spare or just put it in trash. Sorry to say but those steering wheels are pretty much worthless i see them being sold for 10 dollars at max. Where i live those ones are being thrown out or given away for free in facebook marketplace just to get rid of them.
