Performance Technic | F10 M5 build with local member (Akra, HRE, M6 Steering Wheel)
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com 2013 M5 in Alpine with extended Sakhir....hope you all enjoy. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions. The M6 steering wheel is a Euro part. It will be in the new M5 coming and currently in the M6. Interior Trim swapped out for the Aluminum. Akra exhaust with CF tips We are now a P3Cars dealer and installed their latest vent gauge. Interior lights upgraded to OEM LED, along with OEM pedal covers Tastefully done blacked out emblem from iND and BMW Performance Spoiler UPDATE: As our first phase of upgrades comes to a close, we thought a photoshoot was a good idea. It has been a great experience working with the owner of this M5. A true car enthusiast with a very high standard, our favorite type of builder and now a new friend. We'd like to thank Nate@iND for his help in sourcing some of the parts, including the painted reflectors and Akrapovic exhaust system. With the customer's help, we were able to source a lot of Euro-only parts. These parts are what truly set this F10 apart from the rest. Stay tuned for the next phase of upgrades and enjoy some amazing photos of the Bay Area. Enjoy! |

That car looks awfully familiar. Thanks for helping me to realize my goals, Joe. I didn't think some simple car upgrades would turn out to be such a good friendship and opportunity to meet such great people.

Also no battery draw when the car is turned (other gauges did draw power and left you with an empty battery) More details on the BMW install can be found at http://www.p3cars.com/bmw-install I have the P3 gauge in my M5 since last year without any problems/issues

I think the install of that P3Cars gauge was less than an hour. We should have a batch arriving next week. If anyone in the Bay Area wants one for their F10 with install.

Great build, car looks fantastic.
Quick question, what is the car part numbers for the OEM LED lighting and Performance Pedals? Do you need two sets of the OEM LED lighting to replace all the bulbs in the M5? Thanks for your help! |

about the steering wheel. it looks a little bit slim for the bulky M5 interior. not sure what to think about that. is that now included at the factory ? nice taste in mods though. i like it. |

Now my question is what is your source that you know that this steering wheel will come on the LCI M5? I consider myself to be in the know on the latest M5 developments and I have heard nothing about the LCI M5 incorporating the M6 steering wheel. Please enlight me/us. Thanks!

Maybe the customer will chime in if he wants to share. But he sourced the steering wheel and the associated parts to get it all to work. The steering wheel wasn't an easy project, but it came out great.

If you look at the F30 M Sport and of course the M6, this is the direction BMW is headed.

Damn it, I am picking up mine May 10th. I guess I will be stuck with the old wheel.
Do you have any other info as far as part replacements? Is there a performance version of the M6 steering wheel?
