DIY: BMW Performance Steering Wheel

Leonardo629 a écrit

Ce DIY m'a beaucoup aidé, je viens d'installer ma roue de performance M (non-elec), et cela n'a pris qu'environ 20 minutes.

Désolé de jack thread mais combien est-il difficile d'installer cette roue? Avez-vous à jouer avec des trucs électriques comme la roue électrique de performance bmw? J'ai la même roue que toi.

Je viens d’installer mon nouveau volant Alcantra (non électrique). J'ai oublié de déconnecter la batterie et maintenant j'ai un Pass. Erreur de retenue. Des idées sur comment s’en débarrasser ? Merci.

J'ai résolu mon problème. J'ai eu le câble Bavarian Technic et j'ai effacé le code. Si vous rencontrez le même problème et décidez de suivre la même voie, assurez-vous d'allumer les clignotants dangereux, sinon le câble ne communiquera pas!

Pas besoin de jouer avec des choses électriques autres que ce qui est sous l'airbag. N'oubliez pas de déconnecter la batterie avant de débrancher le sac gonflable!

No need to mess with any electrical stuff other than whats under the air bag. Do not forget to disconnect the battery before unplugging air bag!

Well guys i need some serious help here. Everything went fine on this install until we went to put the new wheel on. Basically it would not just easily slide right on even though the spine in the wheel was lined up with the hole in the column. So we pushed the wheel on as far as we could and proceeded to tighten down the nut to get the wheel to go down. It did, but its not flush with the steering wheel column. There is probably a 1/8" gap. Upon reconnecting everything the wheel is off center and the DSC error came up when driving around. We took the airbag back off, took the 16mm bolt out and tried to pull the wheel off with no luck. That thing is stuck on there and just wont budge. Anything I can do here or am I going to have to make a trip to the shop to have the wheel removed? I honestly have no idea how the would even get it off....it won't budge at all.

Thanks to OP and kmarei's images above I also installed the PSW non-elec V2 just moments ago.

I agree with former installers that airbag remove is the hardest of all so I want to also contribute some pictures to make future PSW DIY easier

The insertion point is on the black rubber part at the back of the steering wheel, I circled it with red


They are really tricky, I don't know if anyone can visualize the insert slit with bare eyes...I can't. When you don't put it in, it is not there, but your screwdriver can certainly go in without any extra force. Like some members said, use your finger tip to feel the slit and insertion point. Using your new PSW to practice attacking the metal clip greatly benefits also, just like Leonardo629 suggests



Other than that, non-elec PSW is not very hard to install at all, you got to skip all the harness/wires work. But try not to close the truck after disconnecting the battery, otherwise you would ended up like me crawling into the back seat and ripped the arm rest off and managed to pull the emergency trunk release...



Cheers

I'm having trouble removing the main steering wheel bolt, did you guys use a torque wrench if so how many pounds? No luck getting it off with a standard socket wrench.

What happened to the pictures? Was looking to use this excellent DIY...

As a public service: tighten your steering wheel to 46~47 ft lb, or 62.5 nm per the service manual. I saw 75ft lb posted somewhere in this thread, and that's too much torque!
