I was wondering if there was anyone out there that might know what steering wheel spline the R56 matches up with BMW's if any. I'm putting a new Momo steering wheel with an NRG quick release hub on to my mini but i'm having a hard time finding out what spline it matches. NRG doesn't make one specifically for the Mini. But they make a bunch that match up with just about every model of BMW.

I'm not concerned with the airbag or horn or any other electrical issues this will bring up. My car is strictly a race car these days and hasn't been street legal for sometime now. I'm just looking for easier access to the car through cage.

Only issues are that I have the NRG so I need to go that route (present from my wife on fathers day) If anyone out there knows it would be most appreciated! My local Mini dealer had no idea and really had no idea where I could find out. So I'm hoping someone out there has already looked into this.

Thanks!

 

Anyone have a clue. Going to go cut one out of a M3 in a junkyard if nobody knows.

Were you able to find out the information that you were looking for? I am in that same situation at the moment.

 

Well yes, I did, but I can't remember what the answer was at this point. I do currently have an NRG gen 3 QR and a Momo steering wheel in. If I remember correctly as it has been a while now. I worked directly with the NRG factory to get the correct adapter. And yes it was a BMW spline. I can see when I get home this evening and pull the wheel off to see if there are any part numbers that I can give you.

 

following - building a B-Spec R56 right now. Haven't gotten the steering wheel yet.

 

Sweet MINI! they have ones to fit the Gen 1 pairs with BMW e46 and Gen 2 MINIs now. Think things changed since 2015 and they updated. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-nrg-parts/v-mini/

 

B spec is a different class than what I race. I Currently am running in NASA GTS3 (german touring series) So I get to race against M3's and Porche's.
It is a HP to Weight ratio class. GTS 1-U. Really fun class to race in. If you have any other questions let me know. I'd love to help where I can. I pretty much did it on my own.

 

Thanks!
