Hi,

Can you tell me how much it would cost to swap a R56 2 spoke wheel to a R56 3 spoke wheel ?

Thanks Katy

Hi Katy,
Thanks for the enquiry, the 3 spoke wheel wih a new airbag and centre trims would be £340.00 inc vat and discount, if you want the wheel fitting that would be £65.00 extra, or postage would be £10.00
the kit is available frim BMW in two days
Cheers
Chris

Hi,

If you already have a 3 spoke steering wheel, can you retro-fit a multi function SW? I mean is all the wiring in place and is all that is needed is the ECU reprogramming??

Cheers

Hi
You will need the switch set.additional wiring and a clutch switch for the cruise control, the full kit takes around six hours to install

This might be of interest or help to anyone thinking of buying one of these and having it posted to them

I believe the only difference between R50 and R56 is the unclipping of the airbag
