Kit includes steering wheel, front wheel inlay, wiring harness part number 32 30 7 848 332 already fitted to the wheel and retrofit harness.
List of parts not supplied with the kit:
Switch multifunction buttons part number 61 31 7 849 410
Set of shift paddles rocker switches part number 61 31 7 847 210
Switch unit steering column part number 61 31 9 354 048
Rear cover part number 32 30 7 848 270
Screw set part number 32 30 7 848 333
Air bag part number 32 30 7 845 796

I highly suggest that your dealer make the installation since it needs to be coded to recognize the SZL .
Expect to invest about 4000 bucks.
Hope it helps the M5 community
I did the install also had the pin 11 etc but the rev and temp not working in the steering wheel but when I start the car the demo comes on, but when I rev the the rpm signals on the wheel does wrk as well as the temp.. temp reading 53f for both oil and water temp

Any help will be grateful
I believe that you need to turn on the vehicle and immediately press and hold the left and right buttons. There's a special procedure to basically initialize the wheel, to get it out of demo mode. Then you need to adjust the RPM and such. It's all detailed in the booklet that comes with the wheel.

I just performed this install and found this thread from Google regarding needing to order the steering column switch cluster because of pin 11 issue.
