Changing an X-Line steering wheel to an M-Sport

I recently picked up a 2016 low mileage X3 135 with X-line trim, to replace my
2011X3 M-sport. The vehicle is performing beautifully but I prefer the M sport steering wheel size, having both in my 2008 135 and my wife's 330.
What is involved to replace? Can anyone give me an idea of cost and if they have done the switch?

cost, check ebay. As far as fitting, its easy and plug and play. Just make sure you get the right version for your current x3 - does it currently have paddles/heat/vibration?

No paddle shifters but it does have the somewhat annoying vibration that really sucks when apexing on my local 'closed circuit' drive.

You can disable those vibrations...
