Wheel Trim... Anyone changed it?
Has anyone changed the trim on the steering wheel? Seen the M Performance wheel fitted to a couple but not just the trim.

I purchased and installed the CF trim and paddles from RG Sport and it looks just like his pics. You do not need to remove the steering wheel as noted. Once the paddles are off, you can access the 3 screws holding the trim in place. You will however need a smaller torx T6 (IIRC) to move the buttons and switches. |

Yes, you would have to remove the airbag for either install. Very easy to do and disconnect the negative battery terminal first. Last edited by j080808; 01-16-2020 at 09:28 PM.. |

I know this is not an X3 M but this steering wheel trim is for the The G series/F series M sport steering wheels and M wheels. BMW OEM M Performance part. Also the M Performance Carbon paddles as well. This particular trim is carbon/alcantara. This part just recently became available for the US.

There are two more T20's at the 9 and 3 position (on the backside, like the one at 6). To access them, remove the paddles via the T20's holding them in. Follow the wires leading to the paddles, you will see the bolt.
