Very dynamic. The car will have to be re coded after retrofitting this I guess as the airbag will need retrofitting too ?

I contacted with the seller, they told me there has no recode need to be perform on the wheel, as well as the airbag.

They just use the original steering wheel from the x5m or x6m, then rework the wheel with carbon, color of the stitc, ring colors and leather materials they you choose. That's all!

Got it installed!

Just got this Carbon Steering Wheel on my X6M. No re-code is required. But the Steering Wheel Warmer has been disabled, due to the carbon fiber material.

Enclosed the before and after photos below:

They also make shift paddles. I assume the last poster meant the steering wheel heater has been disabled.

Nice! I thought about getting it and instead I went with the Alcantra BMW Steering Wheel for F85 with carbon fiber center.

BMW Performance steering wheel is a better choice as well. Alcantara feels great, reduce the need for driving gloves when pushing the car. Also, the re-sale value of the wheel or car will be maintained.

Why not just do it this way...

Buy it, then when you are selling the car or turning it in on a lease, offer the carbon wheel for trade for the buyer's wheel and a $500 discount off the retail price.

Does the BMW M Performance Alcantara wheel retain the warmer functionality?
