Any user pics of M performance dry CF steering wheel trim?

3t3p · 06-15-2020, 10:28 AM

Undecided on this. Is it user install?

Anyone got pics of theirs please?

I installed it. It's a nice little touch -- a bit overpriced I thought.

Linked pic is a great one. I've got it on my car and really like it. It's something you see every time you drive and it plays well with the other carbon bits inside the car.

My pic - not great - flash is a bit strong - it's nowhere near that shiny

I think the post above is what convinced me to get it. Install is pretty easy, once you figure out the airbag clips.

Does look nice thanks. I would do it I think but airbags scare the crap out of me!

flybigjet · 06-16-2020, 07:33 AM

Got it. Love it. Get it.

Man, it looks good in person, but I don't want to go down that road, 'cause then I'd have to do it all.

FWIW, I have never messed with steering wheel and/or airbags and it couldn't be more trivial. Disconnect battery and unclip airbag module. Literally took 5-10 minutes max.

It did feel a bit like disarming a bomb. The reality I'm sure is it's completely safe once you disconnect the battery. It's also crazy expensive now that Sun Motors doesn't do special pricing anymore.

I just did the cf steering wheel trim, and that's it. Finishes off the cabin nicely, I think. Could you go crazy with CF? Sure. But, not required.

It actually really easy to do. Quite a few DIY video's on how to do it.

Took me 20mins and 15 of those was waiting to make sure the airbag didn’t blow up in my face!

3t3p · 06-17-2020, 05:35 PM

Surely the failsafes mean airbags only detonate when they are meant to and nothing you do within reason would cause them to do so?

It does finish the interior.

Probably a safe assumption. I can't really imagine how the inflator could self-detonate in the absence of electricity and disconnected from the crash sensors

BMW made a quality product.

Anthony1s · 06-18-2020, 01:12 PM

Is the M Performance decal removable? Or is there an indent in the carbon that the sticker sits into?

I don't like the logo, but am afraid I'll be left with a ugly blank indent if I remove it.

I don't love it either (prefer the small M on the stock trim). I just checked, the sticker definitely rises above the carbon fiber, but I was unable to determine if there was an indent. And I didn't dare attempt to peel it up for the same reason you cite!

AUSf22 · 06-19-2020, 04:54 AM

For some reason I really like the matte trim piece due to the new logo, hmm

HazChem · 06-19-2020, 02:15 PM

Here is a pic of mine with the CF DCT and E brake trim. Agree that this ties the interior together nicely.

SIE_M2 · 06-19-2020, 02:29 PM

Mine attached in my OG M2

3t3p · 06-29-2020, 05:50 PM

I too prefer the M and could do without the 'mperf' moniker.

Still it's not necessary to stare at that the whole time
