BMW G8X Racing wheel (GEN1)

Upgrade your driving experience by replacing the BMW G80/G82 (M3 and M4) wheel to a racing wheel!

If an OEM steering wheel is removed, there will be several errors active. The racing wheel has specially developed electronics inside which simulate the OEM wheel with the possibility to take over some original functions such as M1, M2 and cruise control buttons.

The BMW G8X-Series racing wheel is standard equipped with a 44mm spacer. It is possible to replace the spacer with a quick release adapter at additional costs. Both options will have a curly cable between the steering wheel and the hub. On request, a quick release with integrated connector can be used as well. Ask our technical sales for more information.

Spacer

This is the standard fixed 44mm spacer. This will be mounted between the steering wheel and the steering hub. It is equipped with a curly cable to connect it to the in-car electronics. This option is often chosen because of regulations or to reduce costs.

Quick release

When the wheel is equipped with a quick release, a plate stays on the steering hub, but your wheel can be easily taken off. It is also equipped by a curly cable with the in-car electronics. This option is often chosen because of easy accessibility reasons. With the curly cable, the wheel can be detached but not taken out of the car completely.

Quick release with connector

The quick release with integrated connector is used without a curly cable. The connector can be connected to the electronics of the car. The connection is made inside the quick release/wheel hub.

*The curly cable turns with the wheel hub. It doesn’t get tangled around the wheel, and it doesn’t even hit the indicators/cruise control/wipers.

Free to use buttons

A ‘free to use’ button can be used for anything you want. These buttons are switched to ground, and can be used with the supplied flying leads. The flying leads are connected into the back of the slip ring (dashboard side). Connect an external timer, flash light or anything you would like to control directly from your racing wheel. The wiring for each custom function needs to be done by the customer. The plug and play solution makes sure there are no ECU error messages and no airbag light will turn on after installation.

Different models

The wheel is completely plug and play and therefore easy to install. There are various options for the BMW G8X series.
*Button counting (SW1 – SW10) is counter clockwise, starting at the bottom right.

The function names will be laser engraved in the steering wheel. If the functions on the ‘Free to use’ switches are already known, please add this as a note to the order. If the function names are not supplied at order, there will not by any engraving at these switch positions. It is possible to laser engrave the wheel any time later at KMP (€45 per wheel).

Custom made layouts are possible on request as well. If an Awron display is used, it will be a custom made layout as well. Please contact KMP if you would like to discuss all possible solutions.
