Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is this a genuine BMW M Performance part?
A: This steering wheel is manufactured to BMW M Performance specifications using the same materials and construction methods. It features authentic M Performance badging and design elements. While not sold directly by BMW dealers, it meets or exceeds OEM quality standards.
Q: Will this fit my specific BMW model and year?
A: This steering wheel fits BMW F-series (2014-2019) and G-series (2017-2025) models with the standard round steering wheel. Please verify your chassis code before ordering. Contact us with your VIN for guaranteed compatibility confirmation.
Q: What's the difference between this and the D-shape steering wheel?
A: This features a traditional round design preferred for daily driving comfort, while D-shape wheels have a flat bottom preferred for racing. Round wheels provide equal grip all around and are more comfortable for long drives and parking maneuvers.
Q: Is the carbon fiber real or fake?
A: This features genuine textured perforated carbon fiber with protective coating. It is NOT carbon fiber-look vinyl wrap, hydro-dipped plastic, or printed imitation. You can feel the authentic woven carbon fiber texture.
Q: Does this include the airbag and buttons?
A: No, the airbag module is not included. You transfer your existing OEM airbag and all multifunction buttons during installation. This maintains your vehicle's safety systems and functionality.
Q: Will my heated steering wheel still work?
A: Yes, this steering wheel is fully compatible with BMW's factory heated steering wheel system. The heating elements are integrated into the grip areas and connect to your existing heating wiring.
Q: Do I need to code or program anything after installation?
A: No coding required. This is a direct plug-and-play replacement. Once installed, all functions work immediately including steering wheel controls, heating, and airbag system.
Q: Can I install this myself at home?
A: While mechanically capable DIYers can perform the installation, we strongly recommend professional installation due to airbag system involvement. Incorrect installation can compromise safety systems. Our installation service includes proper testing and verification.
Q: Will this work with my paddle shifters?
A: Yes, this steering wheel accommodates factory BMW paddle shifters. If your vehicle has paddle shifters, they will transfer to the new steering wheel and function normally.
Q: What if it doesn't fit after I receive it?
A: We offer a 30-day compatibility return policy. If the steering wheel is not compatible despite being within specified model years, return it in original unused condition for a full refund. We recommend verifying compatibility before ordering.
Q: How do I care for and maintain the carbon fiber?
A: Clean with microfiber cloth and pH-neutral interior cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasives, or excessive moisture. The perforated leather can be treated with leather conditioner every 3-6 months to maintain softness.
Q: Is there a warranty and what does it cover?
A: Includes 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects such as carbon fiber delamination, leather peeling, or electrical component failure. Does not cover damage from accidents, improper installation, or normal wear. Professional installation recommended to maintain warranty.
