Retrofit M Steering Wheel

Just curious, has anyone done a retrofit from the standard steering wheel to the M steering wheel? Is it a difficult process and is the M steering wheel costly? Thanks

It is easy to retrofit the steering wheel yes, however it is expensive. In EU they got about 600-800 USD.

TBH, I find the normal steering wheel more comfortable and elegant.

Jorix is correct, it is not cheap, please be aware that the airbag units are also different and cannot be transferred. Note also difference one/two stage airbags, European sellers will, if provided, normally supply one stage. If you do a diy swap, make sure your battery is disconnected for at least 30 mins before touching the steering wheel and airbag assembly, if not then as a minimum you will get error codes in you ecu and worst case it will explode.

Thanks for your responses. Looks more expensive than I anticipated. Maybe wait for 2020 model and get M spec.
