Default bmw people: e46 Multi-function s/wheel?

Ive got a 325ci e46 with a standard steering wheel. Ive just got hold of a genuine sport multi-functional one but not sure how they wire up? i know you can buy a fitting kit for £200 but am 99% sure you can do it yourself quite easily?

If anyone can shed some light!!

Hey there -

That level of specialist knowledge is "probably" not going to be available on passionford.

www.mtorque.co.uk might be a better place to start.

Its pretty straightforward, i fitted a multi function steering wheel to my 1999 e46 328 ci last month, you will need the wiring loom from bmw which was £15. I got pdf instructions if you want them. took me about 3 hours to fit that was taking my time
