Anyone have experience with an alibaba steering wheel for f32?
I bought an f8x m sport style wheel from alibaba for my f32 440i, and the paddle shifters don’t work but the volume buttons work. If anyone has bought the same one or similar and had the same problem, is there coding that i have to do in order for the paddle shifters to work?

Did you have the paddle shifters on your original wheel?

I'll assume you already had paddle shifters, if not, it requires wiring and coding to retrofit them.
I retrofitted the m-sport steering wheel and from an ODM based in China, and experienced similar issues, with the left shifter. The fix is fairly simple and involves opening the shifters and putting back a loose spring back in place. I think it has to do with careless handling of the steering wheel during transit. |
