e46 330ci steering wheel to 2000 z3

[four7]

Never liked the z3m(sport) steeringwheel I was in the scrap yard and found this e46 330i steering wheel for cheap. Does anyone one have experience in converting the slip-ring? It seems the wires all match up. More of a fitting issue.? Not concerned about buttons on the wheel.

Thanks!

That style of wheel (but without the buttons) is quite common on later Zeds..seen a few on eBay recently

The buttons can be taken off, not tied to the the airbag /horn
My problem is the z3 slip ring won't mate with the 330ci wheel.

I was hoping someone figured out how to retrofit it before I try on my own.

Being there tried it and gave up, can’t remember the exact issues it was 16 years ago but I think centred around the slip ring, I didn’t have the slip ring for the E46 wheel so was trying to swop mine over so you may have more luck.

Eventually I managed to get a Y2K Z3 wheel in 2017 as later cars started to get broken and got it re-trimmed by Royal steering wheels.

I would think these wheels are more plentiful now and obviously plug and play but good luck if you persevere.

Ill post how far I get with this adventure before I just buy that wheel
