Clueless120i 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2019 Hi guys. I am what I describe as very girly I bought my car because it “looked pretty” I have a 120i E87. Purchased second hand. And now I’m intrigued and want to learn about my car as much as I can. I have 2 questions as I am in no way car savvy! 1. Description said “BMW 120i with M kit” does that mean I have the “look” of an M model? Without the perks of an M model? 2. Am I able to change my standard steering wheel to a multifunction steering wheel? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easiest way to tell is to upload a photo for us or post your rego and we can tell you straight away. 2. you can change the steering wheel and when i say you i probably mean someone who knows what they are doing because it may not be straight forward. 3. please take the time and get the car checked out by a trusty mechanic for oil leaks and other problems because these cars are known for some issues with the engine and being good with service and getting regular check-ups will at least help against costing you thousands in emergency repairs/breakdown situations.

E30 325i Rag-Top 2958 Report post Posted November 9, 2019 Welcome to Bimmersport, you should find a lot of useful info in here for your car. Pictures always help (and are encouraged on here) and give a lot of information about your car. It would certainly help answer your first question. Swapping the steering wheel to the multi-function wheel will make it look a lot cooler, but there is a lot of other wiring and bits and pieces required to get all the buttons working. Stereo volume is quite simple but phone bluetooth, etc is a bit more tricky. It would depend very much what you are wanting to get out of it. As there is an airbag in the middle, it is not a job for the newbie. If you are in Auckland, come along to a meeting with your car and there will always be people around to offer advice and help.
