Heated steering wheel retrofit?
- Thread starter sunnydays
- Start date
I took mine out a couple of weekends ago with the roof down as it was sunny (but very cold) for a drive through the country lanes of Lanarkshire. I found that the air vents kept my hands very warm with no need of a heated steering wheel. While sitting at the traffic lights a couple of the local inhabitants (I think they were enjoying some fine tonic wine at the time) and a guy driving a Ford Focus were also suitably impressed and gave me a particular hand gesture to wish me on my way.....Everyone loves a Z4!

:rofl: How true ....
The heated wheel isn’t a straightforward retrofit. You will need; the steering wheel, the column cowl, the switch, the loom extension, a different clock spring module, coding.
OEM this is knocking on for £1500+ and was much cheaper at build time as most options are.
As above, buy gloves. They’re cheaper, stylish, more useful, portable.

Heated wheels are very expensive no matter what, then finding the other required parts isn't easy either (well the switches come up all the time actually but that's about all).
But as was written above (many moons ago now) the vents blowing directly on your hands will do a much better job, and are FREE!! :rofl:
