Any G series would work, it's just a transmitter and receiver. You don't have to fit the bottom trim if you don't want to, but yes, it will fit.

The “gap” is in the actual sport steering wheel - regardless of e40 or M50. What covers the “gap” is the e40 trim piece, so using an M50 trim piece the “gap” will be exposed.

This is an e40 sport wheel (DAPP and heat):

Oh, then it looks like if I get the trim with a gap, it should still fit If I'm reading that right

Has anyone tried adding paddle shifters to the wheel? There should be a slot for them if i'm not wrong. I wonder if it could be coded to do something

 

[Fayt349]

I have decided to be the sheep tester and ordered paddle shifters lol.

I also ordered the m1 and m2 buttons and module, and carbon fiber trim. Also alcantara arm rest and alcantara shifter.

I hope everything goes smoothly.

You need to order the G20 steering wheel to fit paddles, the i4 steering wheel has no paddles mount.

Do the white and yellow wires connect to anything? It appears they're needed to power the harness or something. I just don't know where to tap them.

FYI for those doing this, you'll need to puncture these slots to insert a screwdriver to release the airbag.

Sorry to tag you all, but I need to wrap this up soon so I can charge my car tonight. 😬

2 questions

Are the white and yellow wires used (pics can be seen 2 posts up)

Do I have the new steering wheel harness connectors going to the correct spot (circled)?

White and yellow wires are not used, protect and tuck them.

I'm still not positive everything is connected correctly, but I assume it is. Now, how do I program these things?

So close to being done. Everything is hooked up and put back together. The weird programming with the doors is done. The only problem is my buttons don't work correctly. M1 won't save the last-used mode, and M2 only cycles through eco and modes. Think I got a bad module?

 

[larbel]

Hmm.. Does it says "G Platform" on the receiver? Are you using OEM buttons? Maybe check the PCB connections on the buttons? Couldn't think of anything else..

Yes, it says G30. (It's the one you linked to for me.) yes, OEM buttons. I can recheck the connections later, but I'm pretty sure they're good. 🙁

Ok, to be more specific, here's how the correct functions of the buttons:

M1 - Let's say if you're in Eco and press M1, it will go to Comfort, and press it again, it will go to Sport. And from there, it circles ONLY within Sport>Sport Boost>Sport Individual
M2 - If you're in Sport, you press M2, it goes to Comfort and then the Eco, THEN it circles within Eco from there.

Isn't this what you're not getting?

Yes. I guess it's working correctly. I assumed I could essential set them to a certain mode by cycling them to the mode I want and then using the lower buttons to change it if needed. At least now I know how they work. Thank you so much for the help along the way. I've taken a bunch of pictures to hopefully help others. I'll make a write up to pay it forward.

“
Function 1 - Driver seat comfort access (Seat moves back at power off, and moves forward at power on)
Corresponding action - Program while with only rear left door opened.”

This is the first time I read this on this thread, is this only possible with the m1 and m2 buttons installed? I ordered them and they aren’t here yet, but this sounds unrelated and if so I want to have this happen in my car!
All I need to do is press the fob 6 times with the rear left door open ?

I did mention it on my first post, you must have missed it. I don't use these functions so I didn't go into details.. They're built in function of the receiver, with or without the transmitter. They're also activated by default (at least on mine) and I had to deactivate them...

Just wondering, prior to you connecting the yellow and white wires, were the M1/M2 buttons working already?

Bimmercode should have the Easy Entry/Comfort Entry coding for the seat moving at power off.
