MY 2014 Steering Wheel Retrofit

Hi Guys,
I am more of lurker and am in investigating a M5 purchase..
I want to know if anyone has retrofitted the MY2014 in a MY2013 and below successful - meaning if there were any coding issues..here is a pic


I really dislike the older one - it looks like an old man steering wheel but I dont want to spend an extra $20K just to go for a brand new M5 just for that

thx!

Is there a difference in the TAC display and interior? It looks like subtle differences like the seats with the ///M Logo, the ///M5 logo on the grill..

thx

LED heads and tails
New Front Grilles
New Cup Holder
New Steering Wheel & Paddles
New iDrive Controller

Then there's a slew of mechanical and performance updates for LCI

now that is not only an M5, but it is a 2013 M5 with a retrofit wheel and M Performance CF trim added. That "M6 wheel" is the new LCI M5 wheel

no worries.. I was just saying instead of doing an M6 wheel refit.. just put an LCI wheel on there... it should be easier than when hsiaochinsan did it now that its an OEM part, because he and a couple of others had to experiment and figure out how to make everything work.... Good luck with your mod!
