X5 LCI Alcantara Steering Wheel

Anyone know if this will fit the X3M LCI? It doesn't show the heating button but the other controls look similar.

I am not sure it will fit your X3MC, ask your dealership, they will help you.

I ordered a custom steering wheel for my X4MC, It comes with shifting lights and full carbon fiber.
Looks great and fits perfectly.

Sorry, I do not know why the picture rotated 90 degrees.
If you need more information, please let me know.

Your wheel looks amazing! A big problem I'm running into with custom wheels is that very few are HoD capable (hands on detection). There are defeat devices available on Aliexpress but I really don't want to go that route. I saw one seller linked through on here that might work but it's close to $2000. I'll check with the dealer! Thanks.

yes, but the M-Performance steering wheels delete both the heater element as well as the drivers assist package. both will not be functional when upgrading the steering wheel.

Can you provide a link to where you got your hood?

The hood is custom-made and real carbon fiber.
If you are interested I can order one for you.

Let me know.

This is an interesting article about the HOD system. It is available for your car but required changes on your exiting one.

The only one I've seen that advertises making custom wheels with it, is AZA AutoWheel. This is something I plan to do for my pre-lci eventually.

I have one of their wheels in my 2020 X4MC, they are awesome!
They will do pretty much any combination of materials you can dream of, and really like to be creative with their customers.

In all I have bought 3 wheels from them, 2 for other cars, and can't say enough good things about them.

YES!! I'm so glad someone has actual first hand knowledge on them. I've been drooling over their wheels since before I even got the car LOL

I have an Alcantara wheel in my STi and it's such a good feel in the hands.

The wheel looks amazing.
Can you tell me how much you paid for the wheel?

I got mine out of China and fit perfectly, the shifting lights and small screen working via OBD.

I paid $1200 for mine.
