Hi there,
I own a MCS from 2003 and i would like to change the steering wheel to the Multifunction 3 spoke steering wheel, is that possible? and in alcantara/leather from JCW? i heard that is a bit hard to do it, like the airbag,wiring, MF switches...
please if someone can help

 

I did it, i love it! do it! gonna cost you a bit though

 

i'm currently gathering parts to complete my swap and would advise to check this out: http://web.mac.com/jonnieoh/My_MINI_...el_How-To.html

it's from: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ing-wheel.html

 

i ordered my wheel from new mini stuff: http://www.newministuff.com/new/shop...uctshow&id=349

after shipping, it ended being right around 340.00 or so. great site btw...!!!

 

yes but on this page http://www.newministuff.com/new/shop...uctshow&id=349
says that you need the 3 spoke already and comes without airbag and mf spokes

 

would this airbag from this page fit into the 3 spoke 1gen ?

No.

Do a search on this and you'll find it's been discussed many times. The 2 to 3-spoke steering wheel is a basic bolt-on. Watch e-bay for the airbag as that's where the best prices seem to be. The steering wheel can be purchased new or used as to your liking. The MFSW switches can be purchased new from the dealer as well. If you go the used route, you may be able to find someone selling the steering wheel with the MFSW switches intact.

 

ok thank,s i think i just found the airbag on ebay, this is the correct one?

The The "Item Specifics" says part # 3230-6-779-258, which is the correct one you want according to RealOEM. Confusingly, the eBay listing also says "BMW PART # 33676138207S", which doesn't match anything.

 

yes thank you, already found others on ebay, but can't find the MF switches and wiring harness
