Steering wheel controls

[rkettner]

does anyone here know which steering wheel with controls would be most suitable to put in an e30?

It occured to me that i might have to get an entire steering column to make the steering wheel fit.

wiring would take some effort. i suppose that the most efficient way to make it work would be to use the slip ring from the donor car and the harness/radio as well.

any links or anyone done this before?

that is the wheel that i want to put in my car with their steering column adapted or using the e30 column.

your driving a 20 year old car, come on now.

I've seen that wheel in an e30 - but without the buttons. The offset is just right and it looks pretty good.

Looks like E46?

[rkettner]

2003 325i so yeah it would be e46.

i just learned that an x5 wheel is heated so maybe i'll go that route.

why you ask? why not is my reply.

care to elaborate on what exactly you mean? if my car did not have an air bag and this one is clearly blown then what am i not going to have fun with?

[TwistyTunedE30]

well if the one you have is blown then nevermind, i totally didnt see the bag there. a friend of mine tried to install a newer control steering wheel into his z28 and connected the airbag to one of the hot wires...blew it up in his face lol

[DaveSmed]

Well, to be rather blunt, thats his own fault. Millions of people are driving around with airbags in front of their face as you read this- They seem to be making out alright.


Bet that woke him up though.

knocked him out is more like it.

WTF, all airbag wires are 100% covered in yellow shit, how did the 'tard fuck that up?

[TwistyTunedE30]

hes my friend :) thats how lol, to be honest i dunno, he came to school with a broken nose and burns on his face lol

No controls. It looks, fits, and feels nice though.
