M Wheel

kirkpart2 · 12-31-2010, 12:55 PM

I was wondering if the M wheel will fit with paddle shifters ..... I have heard that there is not enough room ....

and ill get a set of trim parts as well .... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-Z...Q5fAccessories

your original trim pieces will also fit. its a great upgrade. as for the paddle shifters... I don't know

kirkpart2 · 12-31-2010, 03:42 PM

heard tht the silver trim pieces i have wont fit properly ..... mainly the lower middle one .... but pls let me know if anyone knows bout the paddle shifters .... thx

The paddles will work. Keep your silver tabs. The lower middle tab needs to be sanded down to fit properly. Sand down little by little and be careful. There is a diy on the euro z4 forum.

Paddles will work. Did this when I had the Si. Settings the wiring can be a bit time consuming but really it is straight forward.

Do a search you'll find the info you need on this forum.

any idea where the cheapest place to get the wheel is?

TurkJax · 02-19-2011, 07:33 PM

I bought my from getbmwparts.com. It is still not cheap but cheaper than the msrp and it is an original part.

I am loving the thicker steering wheel by the way.
