M Performance Steering Wheel - Part Number

[Tony B]

Does anyone have the part number for the M Performance Wheel in the following config:

1. Round (not flat bottomed)
2. With shift lights/display
3. Manual (not DCT)

Is there an OLED display version of this, or was that only on flat-bottomed wheels?

Thanks in advance!

I believe the flat bottom one, which I have, is the LED version. It's friggin awesome

The one that's round is the non electronic

Non Electric is also a flat bottom.

IIRC, all M Performance Wheels are flat bottom. Different is:

1) Electronic vs Non Electronic
2) DCT vs Manual

Just been looking at YouTube, and there is definitely a version which is fully round, with shift lights and an LED display at 12 o'clock. Generally described as V1, but I seem to recall a V1.5, which had shift lights with a more flush appearance (similar to V2)

V2 had an OLED display at 12 o'clock.

This is V1 - fully round, LED display at 12 o'clock

This is V2 (flat bottom, and OLED display, shift lights have a semi-flush cover)

I have just managed to track down a V1 wheel with shift lights, round bottom, no paddles.

Exactly what I wanted. Allegedly The Last One in The World, so I bought it.

Not cheap.

And then another one got listed.....

For my birthday my brother got the v2 M Perf steering wheel for the DCT E90! So now both our Ms have the performance steering wheels with LEDs!!

Love these wheels!!

V1 is no longer available, not to mention if something breaks your shit outta luck fixing it. Just get a v2

I really don't want a fake, pseudo flat-bottomed wheel - it is the same diameter, top to bottom, as a circular wheel, so no space saving advantage, but you still get the disadvantage of the weird shape going through your hands at more than a half turn of lock.

And I have just managed to source a new V1 wheel. I think it will probably outlast me. If the electronics fail, I will send it to BMW for repair/replacement....it is still a nice circular wheel. With some Alacantara....
