F15 m sport steering wheel on f30
Quick question about m sport steering wheels
Is the f15 m sport steering wheel the same size as the F30 msport wheel? Will the controller module in the f15 steering wheel work with F30 steering column? I bought a f15 msport wheel with paddles vibro and heat. I just wanted to make sure everything will work on my car before I install it. The wheel came with the electronics module and the wiring harness as well. |

Gents the wiring for the paddle shift are different between the F15 (X5) and the F25 (X3) as I found out the hard way. Took me a year to eventually get it resolved.
There is a good chance it will be the same for the F2x/F3x. I also think the paddle circuit boards part # may differ and in switch resistance as well. The X5 has a BDC module, the X3 a FRM module and the F3x uses the FEM/REM to communicate with the various steering wheel and body functions. They all communicate differently with other modules I recommend you source your steering wheel from the same type of car to reduce the risk of incompatibility and problems occurring.

Ok I just checked the paddle shift wiring for the F15 vs F3x steering wheel and they are the same. However as I said before the F25 wiring differs to the F15 and I had to modify mine to make it work. My point is many sellers on eBay advertise their steering wheels will work with all models which is not correct I would suggest the buyer confirms the donor vehicle type before purchase and save the pain of it not working as expected and then fixing it often as an additional cost.
