Great job George.👍.... a mate of mine completely refurbed his steering wheel in his E90 a few weeks ago and fllocked the airbag.... looks bangin if i may say so myself, a project for my E60 msport i reckon
Yeah I was considering getting this refurbished but this wheel is heated so wrapping the leather again would make it not as warm. Not only that, the original leather is in very good consider with no signs of wear👍🏻
It really takes a tremendous amount of force to pop that air bag out, I could only get half of the top to pop and I thought either I was doing something wrong or that maybe there was a problem with my wheel/airbag but it turns out I had to give almost max effort for mine to pop out.
Nice video George, I removed mine then used acetone to remove the knackered rubber coating, it took some rubbing. Once removed I used some polish to bring it back to life. It now looks ace in a nice clean black and contrasts nicely with the rest of the wheel.
Hey please tell me what’s size screw is it? I got the m package wheel but I need exactly same 6pc screws, dealer cannot help he needs a vin , I can’t don’t in please help what is screws size or how to find it or where
Looks great, but for some reason I only just noticed the wood trim in the background now...I'm quite surprised to see wood effect in an M Sport. What are your thoughts on it? Personally I think it's quite a unique touch but have you ever considered changing it to aluminium or carbon?
Awesome video 👌🏻 quick question, I've had my tracking done and it's spot on but the wheel is slightly off and very annoying. If i remove the wheel and put it a spline clockwise so you reckon it will throw the sensors out? Cheers 👌🏻
Hi mate just a question recently purchased a 530d m sport 2004 and airbag needs replacing but did notice that on mine there's no wire plugged into the black terminal on the right but noticed there isn't one also on your video is this correct thanks
George, did you not have the airbag light come on when you refitted evrything? When I removed mine I couldn't get rid of the airbag light. I tried every trick available online and nothing worked. Had to take it to BMW to get it extinguished.
I just swapped an m sport steering wheel on my non Msport car and my air bag light is on. Everything is connected properly, and all my buttons and horn works Would I need to recode the new air bag to my car?
I don't think you mentioned it, is there any reference mark between the splines of the column and the female bit on the steering wheel to get it back in the same position or did you just kind of eyeball it?
My steering wheel is well off centre will I be able to recentre this taking the wheel off and refitting back a few splines to the left or does the wheel only go back on one way? Cheers
Dear George can you please tell me the red wire plug on the right of the SZL is what ? the wire for the steering heater ? :) we can see it at 3:49 min same question please about the white plug with 2 wires (one is blue color and the other one brown or black) on the oposit of the 1 wire red wire plug ? :) thank you so much for the answer and your videos
Do you have as option on this nice car the Departure Lane Warning assist ? :) this option make vibration to the steering whell wheel when you cross a road line :)
I would wrap it matte black good quality 3m with heat gun and use heat gun to get it in perfect shape. Then use an exacto knife to cut around the m badge.
Hi George what percent tint are the rear tail lights on your e87? Also is the whole light tinted or is it just the indicator-reverse bit as I am looking to tint mine. Thanks in advance! 👍🏾
I resprayed mine satin black on my E46. Looks as good as new!
That’s an option but I don’t think you’ll ever get as good as brand new👍🏻

Thanks for this video, showed me how to get the air bag out!
Glad I could help!
George: “Let’s take a minute and appreciate how this looks”
Me: pauses it and look careful😉
What a fkn video this is, so good🙌
Cheers mate, appreciate the support as always👌🏼

Yeah a lot do that but i'm not a fan, I think the OEM look is the best

At first I was gonna replace it but it’s actually grown on me and think it looks quite classy.. It’s not the crappy light wood trim👍🏻
Hi! I did exactly the same, and now I have an airbag light warning. Any idea why ? Thank you!
Awesome video 👌🏻 quick question, I've had my tracking done and it's spot on but the wheel is slightly off and very annoying. If i remove the wheel and put it a spline clockwise so you reckon it will throw the sensors out? Cheers 👌🏻
The wheel can only go on one way.. your wheel alignment is still off
@@GeorgeAusters ahhh ok, cheers for the reply. Just looks like it's multi spline. The new trim makes the interior so much better 👌🏻
@markpmtla It’s keyed onto the spline
@@GeorgeAusters Ahh yes, just noticed the bottom keyway on a picture. Keep up the good work on the channel mate 👌🏻

Its the small details that make the largest difference to the appearance.
Definitely!

No because I disconnected the battery👍🏻
Thanks for the video
No problem!

Should be plug and play as long as it’s the same year ie not swapping a face lift for a pre face lift and vice versa
Very helpful! Thanks! 🍻
You’re welcome
Thanks for this mate, watching this before retrofitting an f10 m5 wheel to my e60 tomorrow
Did u manage to retrofit?
Do you need to unplug battery inorder to remove air bag?
It’s good practice to but not NEEDED
@@GeorgeAusters thank you
I don't think you mentioned it, is there any reference mark between the splines of the column and the female bit on the steering wheel to get it back in the same position or did you just kind of eyeball it?
No, it’ll only go on one way
@@GeorgeAusters oh it’s keyed? Awesome, thanks for the reply man.
My steering wheel is well off centre will I be able to recentre this taking the wheel off and refitting back a few splines to the left or does the wheel only go back on one way? Cheers
No, you need a wheel allignment
@@GeorgeAusters shit. Cheers mate

I was considering wrapping it but it’s never going to be as good as OEM and I want this car looking as good as possible so no expense is spared👍🏻
Hey George, you wouldn’t know if it’s possible to fit this steering wheel on an e87?
Probably with coding
@@GeorgeAusters in terms of fitment?
@@GeorgeAusters thanks
Hi George what percent tint are the rear tail lights on your e87? Also is the whole light tinted or is it just the indicator-reverse bit as I am looking to tint mine.
Thanks in advance! 👍🏾
They're not tinted, they were like that from factory mate
@@GeorgeAusters Really? I had a look and no 130i's and e87 had them from factory, thats why i asked hmm i need to find a set they look really good
They did, they were called black line tail lights I believe
@@GeorgeAusters ohhh that makes more sense haha I’ve heard of those lol. Thanks George
Nice one 👌
