    After searching for about two weeks for an answer I have about given up. I recently replaced my turn signal stalk, and since then my steering wheel buttons are no longer working. I was extra careful with the clock spring (Taped to not move it), and I have triple checked to see if everything is...

    Hello, after doing quite a bit of digging, sleepless nights and teary eyes I decided to make a new thread. The E36 came with no steering wheel, so this is all I got to work with to make road legal in Cali. I have a 1995 (obd-1) 325is and want to throw a E46 M steering wheel on there. I have the...

    I bought a e39 Multifunction steering wheel for my 2003 e46 sedan. It’s a 4 spoke steering wheel (the non-sport one) I thought to myself, couldn’t I just replace my e46 airbag with the e39 multifunction airbag? This would save a lot of work. thanks for the answers already!

    I bought a E46 316i and it has the airbag light on, also horn and buttons on the steering wheel don't work (but only on the cruise control buttons, the radio buttons work). When I press the horn I can hear the relay clicking and I have checked the fuses. Horn is connected behind the bumper so I...

    Hi guys, I was talking with a buddy about amazon/ebay steering wheel wrap kits and he said they don't last and become loose and deteriorate due to poor materials. Is this true? For the people whom wrapping their steering wheel how is it holding up? Do you leave your car parked outside in the...

    Does anyone have a method for cleaning an alcantara? Preferably without having to buy any chemicals or tools. Home remedy would be great. My E46 has 100k miles and never properly cleaned it. It is very matted down and doesn't feel good. Thanks

    If you’re steering wheel is tearing like 80% of e46s, if you hate steering wheel covers that end up making your steering wheel 3 inches thicker I got the best “mod” for you. 40$ and about 4 hours of work...

    Hello everyone I'm currently in the process of building a track car 330i. I got a full roll cage and a 5 point harness installed already and I was about to install a quick release steering wheel short hub but found that it doesn't fit at all. Before I start taking everything apart I just wanted...

    Hey, I just attached my aftermarket boss, tightened it to spec and realized that it wasn't aligned and that I want to remove the stock cable. When I try pulling it off it isn't budging at all, it's really stuck on there. I've read that some people used the steering wheel as leverage but I'm too...

    I have a ‘99 328i with the single stage airbag will the e39 m sport steering wheel fit plug and play? I don’t really care about the multifunction buttons since I have an aftermarket radio

    Hi guys, Here with a modding question, the M3 steering wheel swap/paddle shift retrofit is quite a common and awesome mod for the E46 non M cars. Easy done too. However, I was wondering if its possible to get the steptronic to work with a universal paddle shifter attached to an aftermarket...

    Today I installed an after market steering wheel in my BMW. When taking off the factory wheel, I accidentally unwinded the clock string cables. I tried my best to rewind them but that doesn’t really work. Can I just cut it out? Will It throw codes or mess anything else up? I’m guessing they are...
