I did it! Heated steering wheel on my 330

Jackboot · 11-12-2004, 09:22 PM

I posted quite some time ago last winter about the possibility of a heated steering wheel on the 3-series...seems that nobody has done it?!

Anyway, today I finished my DIY. It works great! I am excited for it to get even colder now so I can enjoy it

Anyone interested in a write up on how to do this?

Santiago · 11-12-2004, 09:23 PM

Post it up, JAckgoot. Did you get your wheel off eBay?

caMber156 · 11-12-2004, 09:30 PM

how hard was it to complete? definitely should do a write up...I love that option

VisualDelicacy · 11-12-2004, 09:39 PM

europass · 11-12-2004, 09:53 PM

sounds a little risky

zmaerd · 11-12-2004, 09:57 PM

That's what you call taking the turn a little hot eh?

I think he took the heated wheel off of an E39 and retrofitted the wiring into his E46.

bluecougar · 11-12-2004, 11:45 PM

i want to know!!!

Paper Tiger · 11-13-2004, 12:01 AM

Is there a reverse?
I'd like to have steering wheeler cooler!
I can stand the cold wheels, but not the hot wheels during Summer...
I'm sure cooler will be a lot harder to do than heater...

russ330 · 11-13-2004, 12:10 AM

yayopwr · 11-13-2004, 12:17 AM

Hella ghetto....If you had a sun screen you'd be fine. BMW should have this in the cold weather or sport package (heated and cooled wheels.)

shizat63 · 11-13-2004, 12:36 AM

I won't be happy until my 6 speed shift knob is heated. And the turn signal, WTF didn't BMW think of this

Hurry up you lazy mofos, this better be an option on the E90

Yes... Heaven forbid something cheap, effective, and simple be associated with a BMW. Perhaps some Eskimo skinned driving gloves to protect your hands from the hot steering wheel.
