Installation video • THE ULTIMATE BMW MOD |...
The BMW Race Display Steering wheel is, for many, the ultimate interior modification. But does it live up to the hype? In this video, I’ll show you what it does, discuss what it’s been like to own long term, and give you my final thoughts after two years of driving.
In hindsight, this steering wheel is probably better suited for manual cars, or people who race competitively. Still, it’s a fun toy and has been a conversation starter at every car meet.

I definitely prefer keeping a heated steering wheel over this. Too busy for my taste, but could make sense for those who track their car a lot.
Same. Once you experience a heated steering wheel in a place like Michigan, you will never want a car without one.
Also, if you have this wheel in Sweden and park on the street, its getting stolen…
haha, same here. I wouldn't trade my heated steering wheel for that.
@@linkmarineyou’re not a track driver that’s why. Rather have my rpm’s available without looking down than a heated wheel while im racing
As if you can’t get one with a heating function 😂
Do I have an f30? No. Am I planning on buying this steering wheel? No. But I enjoyed every second of this video! Your videos are so cinematic and so enjoyable that even though I don’t need the information from the video I still enjoy watching. Great stuff Justin and Happy New Year🎉
Thank you! That means a lot to me! Happy New Year 💥
Great video, thanks for putting this out. It's super informative and an honest review of the pros & cons which is really nice to see.
I absolutely LOVE the intro you did on this, it came out amazing! The whole video was great and very informative and the videography in this was top tier. So proud of you babe!
Thank you!!
genuinely a nice, honest guy. i have the 5 series and love it i barely drive it i have it out away in my garage barely any miles on it, but watching your channel is something i enjoy. keep up the good content
Thank you for the kind words!
was using led steering wheel on my F30 too, I think it was 1 year ago. very cool and sporty and all but when you go for a long trip It would make your eyes tired. The last time was I ended up pulling over then switched it off then it was very comfortable for my eyes with the rest of the trip I got
Missed you doug!!
I love the look and I live in Western Australia so heated steering wheel is pointless here. Thanks for the great video mate. 👍🏽
I’ve never had a car with a heated wheel so I don’t know what I’m missing 😅
That steering wheel looks good. I definitely need to make the upgrade.
This gentleman has some of the best videos ive seen on youtube and the quality my brother is always on par.
Thank you!!
I bought it and even tho it was expensive I think it’s worth it, the quality is so great I can’t see myself ever going back to that leather feel lol
Dude that intro is insane 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!!
Wow I didn't know some of these were official bmw equipment. Ya learn something new everyday.
This video came out at the perfect time. I just bought one from a seller who didn’t have the wiring harness or the control module for $800, and I was able to source those two parts for $450. I haven’t received them yet but to me it seems worth it because of the fact that it matches with the rest of my m performance parts. I love the stitching and the alcantara. I’m also a huge OEM+ guy and purist so it matches with me perfectly. I’m not sure if I would have bought it if it was full price however.
I also want to mention that I prefer the steering wheel with the display over the one without it which is much cheaper because it doesn’t have the red stripe. Nothing else in my car is red and I feel like the red stripe would just make it seem out of place.
Where did you buy the harness for it?
Excellent work as always 😁 and how fitting just as i need to replace my steering wheel... To find one for the E90 is a proper pain not to mention the price, i guess I'm just going to stick to the regular MSport E90 wheel with paddle shifters and retrofit that to the car😁
BMW made these for the E90, but yeah finding one now is going to be tough, and expensive. Sometimes I miss the simplicity of my E90 compared to this car.
@@justinbuice absolutely bro, maybe in the future, another E90 build would be on but building the ultimate E90... Perhaps cross Collabs in future 😁😁😁
The experience of this steering wheel is incredible. It goes without saying that it is slightly wider than the conventional M Sport. Like you said, if it's possible to purchase, go for it.
I love this steering wheel and I don't mind having one retrofitted into my 2013 328xi. My only fear is the distractions it can bring to me since it's my daily driver. Imagine having all these lights flashing in front of you at the time your indicator light signal and clicking noise. I may get used to it with time but will again miss the beefier heated steering wheel feature on colder days.
Nice video Justin, thanks for always bringing us informative content. I will always be your die hard fan. Cheers buddy!!
It gives the car a sporty and aggressive feel. I may fix it just for looks and not for the technical data/information that it can display. The looks alone is a steeze on it's own.
Yeah it definitely took some getting used to. I usually turn it off at night so I'm not getting blinded by the LED's lol.
Could there possibly be a low budget race steering wheel with just the lights but minus the other technical features/functions?
Some of us will like that just because of looks and having the feel of a race wheel. Not so much interested in the other features.
@@elikemnutefe If you check eBay, there are a lot of third party options for half the price, but I can't speak on the quality of them.

Just installed a aftermarket wheel in my M2. leather and alcantara with a blue racing stripe. Thought about doing the leds but not the biggest fan of having to turn them on after you start the car. The BMW led does look amazing though
Yeah I always wondered why BMW made them off by default. I'd think after spending that much on a wheel to get the lights, you'd want them on more often than not.
Hello Justin 👋
I love your videos, keep it up
I have a request i know you have very expensive cars but why don't you try Indian open jeep once because it is my dream car.
lots of love from india❤️🥰🇮🇳
Could be good for manual
Bro I bought my fully loaded 340 white red interior m sport all options it’s been 6 months since I purchased love it on stage 2 currently
Glad you like it!
I think they look really cool, and do like the idea of having the shift lights in the wheel, the price tag and losing my heated steering wheel in the process make this upgrade a firm no for me. Heated steering felt like a silly overly posh feature to me, until I used it on the first cold winter morning here in MN... and now, having daily driver without a heated wheel is a deal breaker for me.
I’ve never had a heated wheel so I don’t know what I’m missing. But I will admit, I end up driving my Dodge Avenger all winter just because it has heated seats and my 340 doesn’t 😅
I need the heated steering wheel for winter 😅
very greats
Good production value on this video. Not a fan of these LED shift light carbon fiber steering wheels though. I think it makes the car look cheaper. This wheel at least is a nice compromise , while still not my cup of tea.
"Makes car look cheaper"
Wtf how? the steering wheel is way more musculine compared to standard, its fits to every sports car and the led is extra gadget for racing feeling.
If the next buyer doesnt like it everytime on, He can just hold the buttons 3 Sets and its off
@@Rnbsoccerstar7 Glad you like yours, I still think they bring the overall look of the interior down. The carbon part is fine (though from a practical stand point its less race inspired that leather/Alcantara). It's mainly the LED screen that I think looks cheap.
I'd consider getting the E8/9x version for my E88 since I already swap out the Msport/heated wheels between seasons, since they unfortunately never made a heated Msport for the E8/9X, not for the price they go for new though.
I’ve never had a heated wheel so I don’t know what I’m missing out on. Is it worth the work to swap them out between seasons? I suppose it’s no more work than swapping to winter tires
@@justinbuice I'd say it definitely is. After you do the initial retrofit (if needed depending on model/year) you can leave most of the wiring, then it's as simple as pulling off the airbag and swapping the wheel.
hey not sure if you covered this in a previous video but what are you thoughts on carbon fibre mirror caps for the f30?
They are cool. Personally I like the white ones on mine though
Can you change the color if the shift lights?
No, what you see is what you get. I have seen some aftermarket ones with red and blue lights though.
Picked one up for a couple hundred bucks but was missing the harness ended up making my own
Nice! everything works? I always wondered what people would do if they bought used without the wires.
How are you finding the gearbox after using liquimoly top tec 1800?
Haven’t noticed much difference really
I could never be able to focus on driving with this lightshow on all the time. And that tiny screen that pops up onfront of your eyes everytime you're driving straight.
It definitely takes some getting used to. And makes it really obvious if your car is even slightly out of alignment
Does the steering wheel drains battery???
No
I want one sooo bad ...
Justin, what kid advice you can give me to clean my car during the snow time. It is horrible.
I go to the self service car wash in the winter
Is the led steering wheel compatible for a f36 bmw 428i gran coupe?
I have paddle shifters
Yes, should fit any 2, 3 or 4 series
@@justinbuice thank you
How were you able to record the beginning clips without the rain getting onto your lens?
Everything got wet in that shot. Had I thought about it, I would have brought a plastic bag or something to put over the camera
That’s fair😂 thanks for the honesty
I had a chanve to pick upbthese up but ibdont track my car loln
$1300.. edit: $1800 hexk no
Are you doing affiliate marketing?
Yes, both here and on my website
I actually did a video on it a couple years ago if you’re interested
ruclips.net/video/zwBqNrCOwU4/видео.htmlsi=UORN9DkJQkZeSN8d
$1800 for lights to tell you to shift.. Don't you already know 'when' to shift??? But - GREAT - GREAT Video.. Up until I saw ya running.. Who Runs Like That?? lol.. Great job...
LOL thanks! That’s how I run in the rain 🤣🤣🤣
Don't buy it until you can't afford a new one without worrying about it getting stolen.
People are going to need steering wheel insurance 🤣
never liked led wheels
I am so lonely. So sad. So depressed. I have no one to talk about myself and my problems. I'm a mess. I'm alone. I'm so down financially and mentally. All I have is my mother and sister living in another country . I'm so depressed. I just want to die. Die man. No kidding. I hope I'll get some luck in this wicked life. If not... The other.
can i have a car that y’all would maybe give away
Remove “until you watch this” and the title is correct.
Lol.
