Performance steering wheel

Donbona · 03-26-2010, 10:42 AM

Hi, just added the performance stering wheel...
Does anyone know how it works exactly?
Any manuals?

Thanks in advance

Hi buddy. Tell me with DCT isn't there too much light action going on with two sets of shift lights?

Trier Germany · 03-28-2010, 03:15 PM

You can turn off the shift lights above tachometer.

do you guys find the screen very dim during the day? i can barely read anything when its sunny, and thats with all brightness to the max.

Oh wow Niqui, I didn't know you had the PSW.

I love the flashing lights.. its great... like im in a club!!

isugoo · 03-29-2010, 02:28 AM

My PSW:
1. LED's pretty dim in sunny daytime. (common complain)
2. when I park my car outside for a while in very hot day, it doesn't work till PSW cools down. (common issue)
3. bottom line left side icons are keep flashing after 5-10 mins of driving. (I don't know this one is actually only my issue or some)

Im not sure... I have only had it for 4 days so far and I live in London so not much hot weather here. I will let you know if I get any problems.
I know that mine isnt dim... I havent even got it on fulll brightness.

Shhhhhh! You're not supposed to tell anyone, Borat!

Niqui, I agree we have to meet. It's been a few years since I've been back to Montreal. Is Buona Notte still in business? I always go there when I'm in Montreal. It's a hot place.

Well, BMW has updated the design...

The new PSW looks really nice. I want one!

bunnn · 04-11-2010, 10:04 AM

PSW works on all E9X now right ? least from the looks of it..

Maseroche · 04-11-2010, 11:07 AM

New PSW looks great! Wish it came in leather though.

moog55 · 04-11-2010, 11:36 AM

I don't mind the Alcantara on the display and wheel bottom since I don't grab those places normally, but the sides can certainly be reupholstered with perforated leather for daily use to improve longevity

are there places that one could outsource a replacement of the sides with leather that would be high quality and not break the bank?

ASGM3 · 04-11-2010, 01:42 PM

I'm in love with the psw but the one which is not flat at the bottom but i want one with M stitching and not the white/grey stitching there is .... ne suggestions???

Have the stitching redone by LeatherZ.com

Em Trey Drvr · 04-11-2010, 06:33 PM

Am I the only one that thinks the new one is not that cool? I think the old one looked way more low key. The new plastic piece seems like too much to have on a steering wheel, while the old design was more integrated. Plus it doesn't even light up amber anymore, so it will stand out like crazy at night...The only thing I do like is the flat bottom...

Seems like everyone is raving about it because it's OEM and NEW!!!
