I recently bought an E82 from 2008. Really pleased with it, has heated seats but does not have a heated steering wheel. I did some searching but only found one page where some people talked about this. It seems this was option #248, rare option apparently, but more i cannot find about it.
Does anybody know if it is possible to retrofit a heated steering wheel in my car? Or in E80-series in general?
Yes it seems like it, but when i check realOEM it only says about some options "S248A=Yes" meaning that the steering/option CAN work with it (i guess, correct me if i'm wrong) but there is no real retrofit option. What would i need, i cannot find any documentation or information that explains some about this.
site and see that there are numerous options that have the heated option, i however do not see the slip rings anywhere. Anybody knows where i should find those?
Well i don't know what '59 for example means, not from US. Not even close; Netherlands. And the issue is, as in my initial post, that i cannot find the part numbers on realoem ... So RichIbizaSport, do you have some more information for me? Thanks!
I can't remember what the site is but you can call up your vehicle spec ( RichIbizaSport) and if you can do that it might give you the option code for it and work out the parts off that??

Can you go to realoem, type your VIN and search for 'steering column'. It is called "Switch unit steering column" to be exact. So far, i found no e80-series BMW that had the option S248=Yes (heating) and S521A=Yes (rain sensor) and S540A=Yes (cruise control) ... Can you maybe check that for me? Thanks!
Edit, i did found an E92 steering column with all options, but i am unsure if this would work ... (
All of those have the the heater (S248A=Yes) at the very top, do you notice how it has the i (in italics), then it goes down the list adding cruise, rain sensor, adaptive cruise etc.
But this one is for E90-series BMW. So your car wasn't equipped with either of the options from the factory in that case? Or would that mean that the E90-series steering column would fit on the E80-series?
