This is a incredible product for BMW to offer.

- Laptimer
- Stoppwatch race, up to 10 interim times
- Launch command via symbolic traffic light, reaction timer, maximum speed, top score will be saved automatically
-Quatermile race via symbolic traffic light, times for 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile
-Acceleration timer
-G-meter
-Engine & oil temperature
-Shiftlights

Saw it on another forum for $850 at leithBMW, they said they had them in stock. But that was back on 7/3.

TischerBMW has it for $800 with free shipping.

It's 1465.00 in Canada + 85.00 if you want the center in alcantara as well - I think it's 1.5 hrs lab to install at a dealer. I should have one by friday as long as I like it in person, they will have one for me to see.

Do you have DCT or 6MT?

08M3 · 07-23-2008, 10:57 AM

6MT

nlpamg · 07-23-2008, 12:34 PM

nice! I can't wait to see them come out with the DCT version!

ihyln · 07-23-2008, 12:52 PM

Okay then, I may be one of the first to get it with DCT. Hopefully it works

kyoshozx · 07-23-2008, 10:19 PM

The pics doesn't show the M button, ones you guys are buying from the m3, does it have the m button?

08M3 · 07-24-2008, 07:08 AM

It's just the wheel itself, you reuse the center from the old steering wheel.

Actually, you can order the M3 cover from Tischer. An extra $89.. I'm not sure if I will need it.

V8 M3 · 07-24-2008, 11:04 AM

Has any one checked to see if the installation of this steering wheel will void any warranty due to the fact that you are tapping into the wiring harness?

08M3 · 07-24-2008, 01:50 PM

it's not an M3 center it's alacantra but the M3 emblem at the bottom is missing.

You're right. I'll be moving over my M3 cover from the stock wheel.

08M3 · 07-24-2008, 07:29 PM

My dealer called me today and was unable to have the steering wheel their for me to see

but they are going to bring a 135 that has the steering wheel on it to me to see and drive. If I like it I'm going to get it I, I think it would be really handy for laptimes and shift lights when at the track my only concern is that the cost is really big in Toronto 1465.00 + 160.00 = 1625.00 + tax is $1836.00.

Socale92 · 07-24-2008, 07:45 PM

it has a g meter? that's pretty cool....

Cool looking wheel, but if you really want to help lower your laptimes get a gps datalogger and hd camera.
