I did a quick search on google images, and it seems the Mtech steering wheel looks like the one from the new m5/m6... that 3 spoke one. That one looks like the entire airbag and trim is different, so i'm sure that'll be a $1000+ retrofit.

However, the sport steering wheel (with the thumb supports) looks like it'll use the same airbag/trim, so i don't see why it wouldn't be a direct swap.

As for the retrofit kit - there's never a retrofit kit to any car... For example, on my e90, i had the base, non-sport, steering wheel... terrible feeling. I sourced a sport airbag, got the mtech steering wheel AND the m3 steering wheel, and it was a direct fit...
