Great video. This gave me the confidence to do my 2016 X3. They wanted to change whole button cluster £300 + labour! I found a replacement button for £20 and it took me 90mins to fit as my steering wheel was slightly different to yours.
Hi, great job. 👍 I did same just on F10 model Only bad point is is now very stiff button, and doesn't comeback to neutral position. Did you have the same problem after replacement? I recon because its chine button not exactly same size as oem

Just search for "f30 steering wheel buttons". If you find F10 buttons, they should work too! (the ones I ordered were for F10)
Changed the button and had the same problem as you. It would only work on increments of 10. I disassembled the part again and you have 2 PCB boards. Take the smaller one out and clean it. In my case I had some grease on the contacts and that was making my cruise control not work properly. Also make sure when closing that the flex ribbon gets well seated. Mine was popping out when I closed the “case” and had to put a little bit of hot glue to keep the flex ribbon in place.
Hey i bought a custom f30 steering wheel. I need to re use my trim/buttons/airbag on the new steering wheel. Just remove & replace. Will your steps work?
Pozdrav Miljenko :) ma zanima me, kako se kodira da se omogući tempomat, pošto imam f20 i zamijeniti cu tipke, ali tocna procedura bi mi jako pomogla, i super posao si napravio na ovome videu
You need Torex 20 (T-20) for 3 screws that holds frame around airbag. Tricky to access them as you need correct angle. Cannot use extensions as holes are very narrow and deep.
Hello, can you please confirm that the button you ordered from Aliexpress has that thick rubber coating on the outside, like the original one? Or is just a plastic button that has a similar look to rubber. Thanks!

Nope, doesn't have rubber. It's just a plastic button.

Absolute respect for that one.

Yes, they fit perfectly and work just like the original ones.

Hello do you know why after change this button my cruise Control not works corectly? :/
No, sorry. Impossible to tell from your comment :)

were you getting the cruise control malfunction error
Nope, it was just cosmetic.
Did you only disconnect the Negative terminal before working? Or do you need to disconnect + and - ? cheers great vid.
Yes. Disconnecting one terminal is enough.
Where is the best place to buy parts?
aliexpress
It's easier to change a fighting jet steering wheel button than this.
Hey i bought a custom f30 steering wheel. I need to re use my trim/buttons/airbag on the new steering wheel. Just remove & replace. Will your steps work?
Never done that, I can't say if it'll work

Ne znam kako se kodira tempomat.
Can u send me link please? How can i buy this button?
Just search for "f30 steering wheel buttons" on Aliexpress. If you find F10 buttons, they should work too! (the ones I ordered were for F10)
How much time does the whole process take bro? Good job and thanks for being such help.
A lot :) But next time it would probably take me 20 minutes
Are they normal screws or torque screws ?
If you mean "torx", then yes :)
Are these buttons made with the same gummi sh*t from BMW or simple durable plastic? (I think BMW uses these intentionally...)
Nope, doesn't have rubber. It's just a plastic button.
Hey. Would you mind listing what tools you used and size of torx etc? Cheers. Thanks for the video
Sorry, don't remember which ones I used :(
@ no worries! Thanks for replying. When I do it. I’ll make note and reply back.
You need Torex 20 (T-20) for 3 screws that holds frame around airbag. Tricky to access them as you need correct angle. Cannot use extensions as holes are very narrow and deep.

Try giving commentary as you work.
I agree, that would've been useful.

Yeah, too much work. Better buy new steering wheel.
