CSET 564 Report post Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Looks like you need a cable set, for the M3 version at least. I doubt they'd be far different in theory. Lookey Look Edit: in terms of fitment without the multifunction buttons, have a look here. Edited October 17, 2012 by CSET Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smac01 12 Report post Posted October 17, 2012 Hey mate, for the multifunction buttons, you'll need cruise control motors too. For the parts, hit up Ray (HellBM). He normally has everything needed including the wheel. There are heaps of DIY writeups online too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greg111 13 Report post Posted October 17, 2012 Have seen this done on an early E46, was as easy swap, just the bus wiring was needed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HELLBM 1531 Report post Posted October 17, 2012 Can include the airbag and still be $100 cheaper. Hellbm Ray is NOT Euroray. We will always be cheaper than the competition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samjarvis1987@gmail.com 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2012 Did this retrofit two weekends before and it was pretty easy. if you ask for part number 611200160120 that's all you'll need to hook it up to your new MFSW - bought mine through Jeff Grey BMW for $50; comes with all the connectors and cables for the MF buttons and the cruise control cable. Bought Hybrid's old steering wheel, and he hooked me up with an official retrofit BMW pdf on how to install it - all you'll need is some pretty standard tools and a German to English dictionary to translate the wire colours haha. Cruise control is boss and worked on my '99-'00 too, not that I get to use it that often, although I try to on the long streets in Welly If you go ahead with the upgrade hit me up if you have any issues, it's all still very fresh in my memory.
