- This video is intended to be a DIY guide to facelifting the steering wheel in a 2000 E39 M5 to the 2001, 2002, and 2003 wheel. Cars after mid 1999 or so have a dual stage airbag, so this setup should be all plug and play with the correct parts. Here are the part numbers that I used:
E39 M5/E46 M3 M stitching steering wheel: 32342282020
This part comes with all steering wheel and trim necessary for full functionality and installation: www.ecstuning.c...

I own an 09 cadillac cts and still enjoyed watching this steering wheel replacement.
ok
Nice little upgrade here. Had the later wheel on my last 530i, now I have a real sport package with the older 2001 style wheel.
Hello, I just put a facelift wheel on my 2000/04 E39 M5. Thank you for the instructions.
Two things that I noticed on my car, the torx bit was #27 and the torque for the bolt should be 46 ft-lb (63 Nm). If the steering wheel uses a nut the torque should be 59 ft-lb (80 Nm).
The wheel I got is dated 2006 and must be from a M3 E46, OEM 32342282020.
Than you for a superb channel!!!
Cheers

Think this steeringwheel might just be my favourite one of all time. I have it in my E46 coupe and it suits the car perfectly and is nice, thick and juicy! YUM
Thanks for the vid, will be refurbishing my M wheel soon, great seeing the removal process. Love your E39's
Man this car looks gorgeous. If there is one thing I absolutely hate about drivers is when they own a nice car, especially a rare one (M3, M5, R32, AMG, etc.) and its dirty inside with trash, crumbs etc. Whenever I see a dirty interior in a rare care i pray it gets stolen. But anyways i'm ranting. Nice video, awesome car.
I like the rant! I hate dirty interiors on any car. Just sloppy people that should buy a Focus instead. Thanks for the kind words :)
***** Hey, Whats wrong with Focus, I own a 2005 mk2 focus, really decent commuter! (european ford ofc) And sure as hell my interior is not fucking dirty.... Keep your hypocrite shit for yourself.
DevasionX hahaha!
actually I looove the facelift steeringwheel, it feels soo good and the thickness is awsome! It definitey improves the whole driving experience!
That is one sweet looking steering wheel. I think I will install one on my E39.
Ryan,I thought it was just me but my steering wheel is set as the same adjustment as yours. It feels like my old e30 with that setting. Helps me feel more connected to the car.
Yes it sounds like you've got it set up just the way you want it! Good stuff! The E60 is also great and you're lucky in that you could get it with a manual. We never had that opportunity in England.
Great video E39!!! I just did something like that to my 1998 E39 BMW 540i. I took out the old 4 spoke steering wheel, and put an M5 one in. (The pre-facelift) Looks great with the M style stitching.
How’d you make it work for pre facelift cars
best steering wheel design ever. great update
Lovely new steering wheel. I think I'll buy the alcantara laden one when I get my 540i
the reason they don't interchange is the wheel is actually different where the clockspring comes through (hole is in different place) not just the airbag, also the underside of the wheel boss area is different
There is a recall in Germany at the moment due to the faulty Takata airbag. You have the yellow sticker on it, so it is the Takata and should be replaced. If you have white sticker it is ok and doesn't need to be replaced.
I have had the recall done since this video.
who is the guy whose talking? very clear, punctual, and descriptive in all your videos. thanks
Why is it so important for you guys and/or other people to know part numbers? Btw I aplied for e39 source with a post (for now, cause don't have a decent camera only my phone) Love this channel.
The majority of people watching these videos, so we think anyways, are people looking to do the same job on their car. And providing or verifying the correct part number can be very important!
*****
ok all those treering wheels have the same partnumber i presume so it's if they would wanna order it to you give the partnumbers with them ok i get it :D Hope you'll accept my post for appliance soon :p Cheers guys
swansmeister what a stupid question.
Anthony Ferra
what a stupid name
I got a 99 :( cant retro fit
well the new steering wheel is really cool. I dont have an BM but I watched the whole video anyway. just in case if I get an M5 in future cz I really like em
Cool upgrade, I like it!
+gen Rommel you need a dual stage airbag for this retrofit. The single stages will not work, and your best bet is to buy used, as new airbags are NOT cheap!
+E39Source
I called BMW of Silver Spring and of Manhattan. The updated airbag after the Takata recall is not available yet. I want to install a E46 smg wheel with shift paddles on my e39 but am not sure if the new updated airbag may be any safer since it could be years before the reliability is confirmed.
For some reason that new wheels looks different and thicker then my '03 M5's (yours looks way nicer), i would confirm but my cars in storage over the winter.
Great video! Love the m5
:)))) in Romania an airbag like that it's about 40-50$
you are very eloquent, and I appreciate you don't use mmmmms
Pro tip : you can watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Dean Darwin Yea, been using flixzone} for years myself :)
looking for a 540 6 speed cash in hand
I hope to own something this cool one day. E39 is the best looking M5 to me and I think the E60 has the best motor. I wonder has someone tried that yet.
I think that somewhere there is an S85 in an E39 M5.
I think that somewhere there is an S85 in an E39 M5.
***** Hey Ryan, Hey Colton I've got a question ref swapping the steering wheel over. I've got a 2001 530i with the standard original 4 spoke dual stage steering wheel.I want to change to a sport steering wheel (either the one you've just put in your M5 or the one you've replaced, just haven't made my mind up yet) Question is, is it a straight swap or do I have to do any messing around with the slip ring? or is it old steering wheel off, new one on........Cheers, P
Paolo Panetta From what I know, it should be a straight swap with whatever wheel you choose. Since you're starting with a non-sport wheel though, I haven't done a whole lot of research on this exact change. I would definitely expect the same process that I just did though.
***** Okay, thanks for your feedback.
Nice upgrade
The E39 M5 is a truly great car. I owned one for a time. Informative vids about how to improve the car. I believe that the last few (03 & 53 in UK) had service intervals in 25 mile increments not the green squares and bluetooth phone as an option. Is that something you might do?
Bluetooth and phone are prewired in my car, but I would never use either option. I just added SIRIUS XM and AUX input, so I'm all set with the tech that I want!
I'm gonna do this in a few months to my 2001 540i, should be nice to have a more modern wheel that doesn't feel squishy in the middle unlike my current oldschool sport wheel.
***** How do you like your 540? I'm looking to get one to replace my 525i.
Im also looking for a 540i as my first car, is it reliable
If maintenance has been kept up with, these cars are fairly reliable. 525/530 are more reliable than a 540, though, IMO
***** the 540i has a 4.4 V8 in it, im looking for that bit of extra power than the 525 and 530s have, so approximately ill be looking at 1 to 2k a year in maintenance?
Yeah somewhere around there is average. Little more, little less depending on what comes up.
Oh ok. I just thought that one was for the pre-facelift ones. But if it is M specific, then I would keep it as well. I should do a video of the condition of my 2002 525i m sport with 211k miles.
Hey, that would be excellent! It would be the second 200k mile car on the channel, I know I'd love to see it :)
Hi there. Will that new steering wheel fit in a 1997 e39? I don't care if the airbag doesn't work. I just want to know if it will fit. Thank you very much. Greetings.
The facelift wheel will fit in your 1997 E39, I am fairly certain. The airbag will NOT work, since the pre 1999s are a single stage instead of a dual stage airbag. I would definitely not recommend sacrificing your safety and perhaps your life for a nicer looking steering wheel.
Looks very good.
bought a m steering wheel that has 4 connections out from it, but my car only takes in 2, its a singel airbag, the other 2 cables are for radio control and cruise control but there's no plug for them what do i do?
so true btw about the view, I have the other steering wheel and can't see my info at the bottom of my tacho
damn... looks so very good, about $650 + airbag cost...
I have 1 question . i have an e39 from 97. My steering wheel dosent have buttons on it. If i buy a newer steering wheel with that option can i "upgrade" it ?
Jenny B-Girl s
You can buy the cables from internet (ebay)
This looks a great deals easier than I thought it would be... all I need nownos enough money for a steering wheel! Lol
i have a 2002 540i e39 bmw, i want to add the m5 steering wheel but my oriniginal has many other buttons like the heated steering wheel option. how or what should i do ? any suggestions? anyone know ? can this be done will i just be loosing the heated steering wheel option ? i like the look of the m5 wheel way more than the OEM i have now.
It's been raining here in Sacramento, ca so it will have to be sometime next week or so, so I can wash it up too. Let me know how I need to get the video to you.
That's fine, anytime works for us! Just get me a link to your video somehow, and we can put it up here. You can email me (ryan@e39source.com) or send it to me through UA-cam. :)
Ryan
Coming from a 2002 525i, I love my m sport package wheel
my 520i has facelift M steering wheel, check it out.
Great video
Facelift is not the correct description for this steering wheel, to be precisely. Facelift models had the same wheel which you had before. The new one came later (2001 if I remember correctly). Their right names are M-Tech I and M-Tech II. The new one is BMW's best handling steering wheel till this day!
Facelift is the correct term here, the wheel he installed is the Sport wheel that was offered when the car was facelifted for the 2001+ model year... non M's with the sport package got a similar wheel, while M5's got the beefier one with the tri color stitching.
Facelift came 09/2000. The new steering wheel came 12/2001. So facelift is not the correct term for this wheel.
The steering wheel IN M5's, which is what we're talking about here, came 9/2000. Making the new one the facelift M5 wheel. The old wheel was used in sport package non-M cars, but not even the actual M5 wheel.
Awesome upgrade! Expensive though, go Germany. LOL!
is it possible to get a single stage airbag in the round formfactor?
no
Wow, that looks amazing! Does the M stitching mean its from a proper M car? Sold one of the older style wheels a year ago with that stitching. Didn't fit, my old car had single stage airbag, and the wheel dual stage. Found it randomly at a shelf at the wreckers. Sold it for three times as much when I found out it didn't fit though :p Always worth it to buy M parts from wreckers, they have no idea how much it's worth
M stitching generally indicates that it was sold as an M car. M3, M5, etc. Cars with sport or M packages had the same wheel, but with black stitching. Sorry to hear that your upgrade didn't work for you though, at least you made some cash!
***** Kinda regretting I sold it now. My new E39 has the M sport package, but the older style wheel. One month too old to be facelift! Would have been cooler with the M stitching on it. Anyway, the facelift wheel looks amazing! Makes the entire interior look brand new, when I finally get an M5, I'm definitively gonna have the facelift wheel!
How do you remove the circular air bag? I would like to install the M5 wheel on an 03 Sport Package 530i (my wheel is pretty beat up), but I can't find any documentation on how to remove the existing airbag to use it on this wheel.
Watch this video here, it's very well said. BMW DIY - Steering Wheel Round Airbag Removal M3 M5 540i 530i X5
So I have a bmw e39 1997 528i. I bought the m-tech steering wheel from another E39. Will it fit do you think?
The E39's airbag changed from a single stage to dual stage in May, 1999. The newer style sport steering wheels will fit, but the airbags will not. You'll need to search for steering wheels from E39s before May, 1999.
i think the old one looked nicer ;) somehow matched to the interior better - but you know - your car - your taste - its not bad at all - still look really nice inside, but i would stick to the old one :) (sry if my english isn`t perfect)
I always felt the same way, until I drove E39 M5s that had the facelift wheel. The design, thickness, those things sold me on it.
I found one of those newest m5 steering wheels for $14.99 at a junk yard. The only problem is that the trim is broken and it runs for more than $100 everywhere. My car was built in 06/99, which air bag do I need?
+Roberto Sunga That's right around the cut off from single stage to dual stage. I think that's the dual stage though, which is good and what you want.
I have a 2003 M5, any ideas on how you would remove that airbag if I was replacing the wheel? It looks like it snapped in place when you installed it, would I somehow pry it out?
Just found out that you don't pry it - basically you stick a flat head screwdriver inside the two rear screw holes and push inward to move the latch and release each side.
Another quick steering wheel question for you here if you don't mind. If you don't have a torque wrench, can you get away with doing it by hand and trying to match the feel of how tight it was to begin with, or is it absolutely necessary to get it to that exact number in the video? Thanks very much!
+Alain Milotti You could do that... but if it were me, I would use a torque wrench... you don't want the steering wheel popping off at 65 on the highway!
+E39Source thanks for the reply! so the purpose of torquing it is to make sure it's tight enough, not to prevent over tightening it? from what i've looked up, people are saying to not over tighten it!
+Alain Milotti Well, both. If it is not tight enough, it could potentially loosen up as you're driving. If you overtighten it, you could strip the threads, And that would be bad news. Thus, a torque wrench is the best way to get a happy medium.
+E39Source Ugh. Time to find the nearest Autozone I guess. Thank you!
Can i install this steering wheel in a e46 320i of september 2000, whithout any problems?
Becouse i heard some rummers that if you change the airbag, when you crash, the airbag won t deploy.
+Samuel Dias Yes that should work, that is a dual stage airbag car. If the airbag light is on afterwards, that would be your only reason to concern.
Ok thanks.
I just did this same mod for my may of 2000 production m5. I did get an airbag light after 20 miles of driving it. Anyone have any idea why?
That shouldn't be. I would remove, disconnect, and reconnect/re-seat the airbag again, with the battery disconnected. You may have to reset that light now with a scanner tool.
I bought this flyer coming from a m3 ... it fits in my e39 97? And does the original airbag of that steering wheel work on my e39? or do I have to buy another air bag? what bmw?
You bought a flyer? I have no idea what you are asking me.
Hey great video 👍👍 quick question, do you know if the m sport steering wheel go right in after taking the standard wheel off? (Obviously after getting an airbag to fit the m sport wheel)
Yes, it goes right on the splines.
@@E39Source okay awesome.... And the airbag wire should come right out of my old wheel to the new one right?
@@dereklaverne7608 Assuming both are 'dual stage' airbags, yes. If your car was made after May of 1999 you should be fine.
@@E39Source alright thank you for the help
How can you tell if you have a single-stage airbag vs. dual-stage? I have a 10/99 production E46 that I am swapping the non-sport square steering wheel for the triangle sport steering wheel
+jonzxcv A 10/99 should be dual stage. At least in the E39 it would be, I would expect the E46 to be as well.
+E39Source Okay thanks. I bought a wheel that came from a 09/99 production car which was exactly when the E46 received some improvements. I did some research and found out that I will need to do some coding with the car through PA Soft or NCS Expert. Did you hear about that?
+jonzxcv you shouldn't need to code anything.
Bobby O'Hearn Okay. Reason I ask is because from what I looked up, if the car isn't coded and the airbags are switched, the airbag might not deploy in an accident or may be tripped from slight shocks while driving
+jonzxcv That seems very unlikely. Just make sure the connectors are plugged in fully.
I got a 535i (german spec) could switch my wheel to the M5 wheel? just love the look
+farscope If it's after mid 1999 production, sure.
shit its 1998
+farscope It probably has a single stage airbag then, and won't work unless you use another wheel that uses a single stage airbag.
I love e39Source and I love e39s M5s. I am actually looking to buy an M5 but I can't decide if I should get e39 which I always wanted or the e60. " I know I have to spent little bit of money no matter which one I get in order to keep it going".The only thing thats is holding me back from getting e39 is not knowing whether I will be able to drive it the way I really want to. I would hate to spend so much money on an M car and basically Baby it the whole time I have it so it doesn't cause me any more problems. So my quastion to you and other guys who regularly post updates on their e39s, Do you guys get to enjoy all the 400hp that the car came with or you hold your self from it because of the high maintenance cost?
+karim suleymanov The E39 M5s usually run better when they are used. That means driven more frequently, and harder. That is what the car was designed for. Not stupid hard though. Wait until the engine warms up, and don't be bouncing off the rev limiter all the time. But you can certainly use all of it's power without causing a lot more to service. You generally run into issues on cars that have been babied their entire lives, like carbon build up or connecting rod bearing failure.
+E39Source thank you for the info. looking forward to owning one of these.
Do you plan to change the rear view morrow too to the newer style?
The mirror currently in the car is the M5-specific mirror, which was used in all model years. The more square one is the standard BMW mirror, so I'll keep what I have!
so... if I have a 98 528i... would this work?
That's a single stage airbag... so it would only use the airbags that came before mid 1999 or so.
hey guys, do any of you have experience with tunes for these vehicle. i want to tune mine but unsure on which. i'm leaning towards evolve cuz of secondary air delete and other options. what are your thoughts? any info would be helpful
I have the Shark Injector tune on my M5. It has the secondary air delete and throttle remap, I couldn't be happier with it!
Thanks I'll look into it
Next stop, you really need to do some coding through NCSexpert. no more key in ignition warning beep or anything else
Best vids!
doesnt turning the car on and off like that in the beginning of the video bad for the battery?
+Richard Le It probably discharges it faster without ample time to recharge when the engine is running.
What does the I/O button do??
Power on/off for the cruise control.
Guys, thanks very much for posting this guide. I followed this guide exclusively but you should point out in the this video ua-cam.com/video/j-k88BPuqp0/v-deo.html Namely, when putting on the new steering wheel you must make sure the centre indent lines up with the the one on the new wheel. I put everything back together and my steering wheel was way off line and I didn't know why. A n00b mistake yes, but it's pointed out a lot clearer in other videos. Keep up the good work
Did you buy this m5 from chicago cars direct
No, but I have watched some of their videos with Chris on UA-cam!
I wish to buy an E39 M5, but im so afraid of all the heavy maintainance costs and i don't really feel like spending 20,000$ on an E39 in parts and maintainance during an ownership. Can someone please mention what to watch out for on these cars? Iv'e heard many things for example wheel bearings, clutch ofcouse, driveshafts and the list goes on. And if i would buy a flawless car, can i avoid changing these parts during an ownership or will they catch me? :D
It's almost impossible to buy car that won't need something. I wouldn't be too afraid of it honestly. I'd look for a clean car, no rust, with a knowledgeable owner, service records, and mostly OEM parts. Working on brakes, engine sensors, stuff like that isn't hard. Just pricey. Don't buy a car with a Service Engine Light.
***** Yes that's what i mean, i much rather feel like spending money on service than on new parts. I know the costs of owning an E39 M5 but i don't feel like spending alot in repairs because it is something that you can get away with if you buy the right car :D
can you tell us what tools do use for all DIY'S you do
I could make a video if you'd really like to see, but I do try to include a segment on that in each video. Really it's pretty generic. I have a lot of sockets and extensions and adapters and wrenches, plus a good array of wrenches and screw drivers/bits, and then a few more special-BMW tools.
***** That would be great if make a video of all your tools :)
Is the new wheel nicer to honk with? lol I thought it was funny asking because no one asked about/mentioned the horn.
It's a little smaller and maybe a little bit harder to push to honk.. but it's fine.
***** lol. Wow I'm actually impressed how soon you replied. Thanks!
@e39Source I have an 00 M5, production is 12/99. Will this fit? I'm a bit confused if mine is actually a single stage versus a dual stage.
I believe the cutoff is 5/99 production on the E39, you should be fine.
E39Source i need help about my e39 528i 97 to put this wheel in my car
E39s made before 5/1999 cannot have the updated wheel because the airbag won't be compatible. (Single stage until 5/99 and dual-stage after).
@@E39Source I installed mine today, and ran into two issues. When I went to lock the airbag in, it only did so on one side, so now it's half out and I'm panicking, secondly, I started it up and the DSC light is staying on....no SRS light though. I've never had any DSC issues before the install. I will most likely have to drive to an auto parts store since I oddly enough do not have a long enough flat head to go in and make contact with the springs inside the wheel. So this should be pretty interesting!
My, with all the money spent on this car you could have got yourself a later model M5 or M3! Anyway, what about a rim and wheel upgrade?
Yeah, I know, I could have an Enthusiast auto 2003 M5 with less than 50,000 miles. But if I did that.... I wouldn't have this UA-cam channel, or so many of the awesome friends I have online now through the enthusiast community. It's been an experience, and I wouldn't trade it! Much more to come... :)
Thats nice !
Hi, a have the same weel whithout the botton for handsfree, now I boght the weel whith handsfree booton, can now handsfree work?
Thanks for you answer
You would need to install a lot of modules, code them to your car, and install a microphone to add a feature that your car didn't come with. It sounds like all you've got now is the button.
I have a Dynavin N6 system with which the microphone goes, all I can do from the steering wheel is to increase or decrease the voice, to change the song but when I need to answer the phone then I have to press the tach display to answer. I thought with this wheel with hands free I would not need it. Greeting
E39Source My Bmw was 528i 1998, when I pulled out my steering wheel airbag with an attachment and a new one with two. Ok I am confident that the airbag will not work, but my biggest problem is that the cable from the steering wheel can not be locked in the old place where they were plugged into the old steering wheel. The old wheel rim is on the steering wheel, and this new as it is seen in a rocket launcher. What do you think he should do to lock the steering wheel. thank you very much
Your 528i has a single stage airbag. The wheel/airbag in this video is a dual stage setup. In order to put the newer one in your car, you'll need to modify the wiring and the ring assembly. I have not done it, but that's the only way to do this right. Search for the forums/online for single to dual stage BMW airbag/wheel retrofit.
How did you get the wheel for $638?? I believe its 840$ on ECS tuning now
Prices fluctuate like crazy. There was a day that it was $400.
E39Source wow, thats crazy. Maybe I will wait for the right price. Thank you
Ok, because I saw 2000 m5 which was pretty much the same like yours
This is when you drove the m5 through the winter, that salt though :(
@e39source will this be compatible with my 2001 BMW 530i sedan?
Yes, same as this video.
E39Source thank you!
Love BMWs
Yeah, I also like the prefacelift wheel more too. But it's not my car, so it doesn't matter lol.
I was in the same boat, until I drove cars that had this wheel haha
Yeah, haven't used them both for long enough to make a judgement on which one feels better, But I totally understand. I replaced my e30 sport wheel for an Mtech 1 wheel, and although they look similar. The Mtech just feels so much better.
OMG why is he start engine before every turning with wheel?
wheel lock and to easier turn the wheel obviously
ExeKuTioN Cro for deactivate wheel lock you don't have to start, just put key on second position
Power steering does not come on until the engine is running.. it's really hard to turn the wheel otherwise
you did some good work because the old steering wheel is ugly on my opinion
Would that wheel fit onto a 2001 530i?
Sure will!
***** What about for a 2006 525i? Would any M5 steering wheel fit?
TeezyThaKidd An E60 M5 wheel would PROBABLY fit a 2006 525i, but I doubt an E39 wheel would.
Okay cool. I'll keep doing more research then. Thanks!
how much was this wheel?
+Mark Halvorsen Around $700.
+E39Source Here it cotsts arround 200$ + custom desing leather new +50$. That's crazy amount you paid :D
yeah 700 seams like a lot. I found a co called REDLINE who'll do for 150. U ship to them they install and send back s/b done in 4 days total.
i've kinda like the old wheel better...
Mirror not morrow
*starts car* BOOM AIRBAG DEPLOYYYYYY XD jk
am
uhh, what a toy you have. lucky man.
