How to tell if my F30 is prewired for paddles?
I'm considering upgrading the base steering wheel in my car to the OEM M-Sport or Sport steering wheel with paddles. How do I know if I have the hardware (wire) support for it? I'm not sure I want to take apart my interior to find out.

You're going to have to take the passenger footwell panel off to access the ecm module there. Check out thicf30 or kies motorsports on YouTube for more info. I did the upgrade and mine wasn't prewired for paddles. I was incredibly nervous, however, it honesty was pretty easy using the YouTube videos from those guys. Also, I found an easier way to remove the steering wheel without poking holes in it in the video from thicf30. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck!

I've seen some videos on removing the airbag, looks like a major pain. Are there many vendors that sell the M-Sport steering wheel with the airbag already in it? Very hard to tell exactly what people are selling. Obviously can't transfer my airbag from the base wheel to an M-Sport, but probably could for the Sport wheel. |
