Utterly confused..please advise

Upgrading steering wheel to LCI FRON NON LCI F10 M5

Have sourced airbag from a specialist company in UK who specialise in airbags advising me the following airbag will fit into LCI F10 M5 steering wheel although part numbers indicate it's from an F30 3 series..they say part numbers don't match up but fitting is exactly the same as F10 M5 and will 110%

If not will give me a full refund

Are they right ?
Putting part numbers aside is it same fitting and connectors

Thanks

You got the Euro bag, it comes with 1 plug, US-spec (ONLY US for some stupid fucking reason) comes with 2 plugs...

I made the same mistake, ended up selling the airbag to someone in Vietnam.

- Yeah... paying half price for the airbag was too good to be true lol.

- Not sure if you got the steering wheel yet, but.. before you make a second mistake (too late for me), M3/M4 steering wheels don't fit either.

Fml...

Anyone wanna buy a brand new F8x steering wheel?

How much was that part?

I ask as i've scratched mine.... And it bugs me every day.

Or is there a replacement to the circular leather that i can buy?
