Great photos but the screwdriver in the rear hide hole does not seem to free off the airbag/horn on my 2007 M5 E60, any ideas would be appreciated.

Great DIY post, was nervous tying to install it but the step by step instructions gave me confidence to try it out, very happy to report the install went smooth.

The alcantara wheel feels so much better than the leather one.

Stupid question, but why disconnect the battery?

To stop inadvertent activation of the airbag?

Mainly beacuse you'll get SRS related issues if you eg. accidentally turn on ignition while airbag is removed.

You also don't want to short anything out or release the airbag accidently. Imagine that!

You won't release airbag accidentally. Ignition coil requires really high current (50A+) for a while, which will not going to happen by accident.

I've searched everywhere on the forum and I can't find a definitive answer for a 2013 m5 to 2014 m sport steering wheel swap. I have the executive and drivers assistance plus package with vibration. I do have the part numbers for the m performance non electric steering wheel, airbag, paddle shifters
Can anyone confirm this will fit before I drop 3k?
