Disable vibrating steering wheel

So I put new steering wheel on and the mechanism is hitting something against the wheel. I took it apart at least 5 times to see what it's hitting. I just want to disable it. I didn't see anything in bimmercode

I disabled the LDW from the iDrive but wheel still vibrates?

Not sure how to disable it but I believe I saw a post before about the mechanics hitting the sticker that’s on it and making the noise

Hmmm. I took one foam piece out to see if it was that, it's less noise but still rattles.

Push the green light on the dash. That will turn off the lane departure alert hence the vibration. But the motor is on the bottom center of the steering wheel. It is not secure. I had the same issue when I added the alcantara wheel. Just adjust it and remove the sticker on it. Or if too lazy then just press the button on the dash

Did you have to take entire wheel off again to adjust it? What sticker are you talking about? I tried to spin the weight to see if it hits anything but it doesn't but I assume it is hitting the outer portion of the wheel once I put the cover by back

No it can stay on the car if I recall. Just need to disassemble

Make sure that the clips that fixate the gold bracket are locked.
