This retrofit requires the BMW M3 SMG wheel and my DIY kit to work perfectly. The SMG wheel is already equipped with paddles and only available in M-color stitching and titanium shadow trim. Black trim can be ordered as well. Earlier E46 models may require the new round airbag. In addition, the car has to be equipped with Steptronic transmission.

This retrofit is fully compatible with:

  • Euro and US specs BMW.
  • E46 318, 320, 323, 325, 328, 330 from 1999 through 2005.
