Ok, that explains things. I had thought that you may have bought from ECS or some other e-tailer.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to do this as well. Since every other BMW I've had in the last 10 years has had the M wheel, This sport wheel isn't cutting it.
What kind of market is there for the factory sport wheel/airbag? Wondering what the net cost is for doing this swap. |

I would argue there is zero market for stock. You are better off upgrading and hoping to resell the M-sport wheel/ bag to someone with a base 30i that wants the nice steering wheel.

I received the airbag tonight. It is a 3-stage bag and came in some awkward packaging. The packaging reminded me of Amazon's no-hassle packaging. It seemed odd, but it works.
I bought the airbag from getBMWparts.com. It was ordered from BMW and then relay-shipped to me. Cost was about $1000 for the airbag and $1000 for the wheel. getBMWparts was about $300 under my local dealer. I look forward to the wheel swap. |

I had the same packaging. Did you get the wheel on EBAY or is it new? |

There are very few out there on eBay. Most of them have the wheel+airbag and are around $3000ish, or more. Several are from overseas and I'm not sure how much I trust that. |

The M Performance steering wheel that people would be swapping to when upgrading their G30 M Sport wheels uses the same air bag. I'd be very careful ordering any used on ebay that include the airbag, there's really no reason for it to be changed.

Nice. Found it in BimmerCode. DKOMBI2, expert mode, 3000 configuration, ALPINA_ENABLE. Easy peasy.
