Hey, you didn’t check the cruise control button (the one you accelerate/decelerate ) works, is not centered.

@TommyLGarage 5 лет назад

Yes works well

@Cosmicvarion 4 года назад

Can I replace just the cruise control dial? The rubber on mine has torn. Would anyone be able to assist with a part number? The entire assembly (controls on both sides) as a pair is 61317849409.

@TommyLGarage 4 года назад

You have to get a used set on eBay and pull off the button.

@AutoPilotgogogo 4 года назад

Excellent, Tommy! One tip for M2 and M4 owners--since we have frameless windows (unlike the M3 sedan), you need to "reinitialize" the windows after reconnecting the battery by putting them down, then back up, with the car on. If the driver's door is open with the window up when the battery is disconnected and then reconnected, the system is a bit confused and will not automatically lower the window a slight amount to allow the door to close. As a result, the top of the window can strike the weatherstripping and cause damage or break when you close the door.

Very well explained, I did take an M2 on rent and saw these little M1 & M2 buttons. Is there any chance I could add these to a standard wheel on a 428-435i that I’m planning to buy ? Atleast to open the exhaust

@mdrobc13 2 года назад

Good tutorial. Only thing not mentioned was if you have DCT and paddle shifters will need to remove them to get at the rear screw for the button module to release. They are attached by another torx #20 inner to the module screw assembly. Broke mine off not seeing it and not fully releasing. Had to glue it back into place on the wheel but that’s okay as no plans to reverse this modification on my car.

@TommyLGarage 2 года назад

Ahh good call. Thanks!

@mdrobc13 2 года назад

Yeah can’t even tell once glue dries and painters tape removed! Fully functional!

@ballist1x407 Год назад

Doing this method is it possible to remove the whole buttin itself from both sides (for example to retrofit new multifunction buttons without removing the steering wheel or is the wire behind so it will need to ge disassembled? Thanks

@TommyLGarage Год назад

Yes that’s the same procedure

@adampark8341 Год назад

No.🤦🏻‍♂️.. Only keep power control buttons colored or factory.

No need to remove the battery just disconnect the negative terminal

Careful with the white tabs for the cruise control rocker when you reassemble the switches. One of mine fell over and I had to take everything apart a second time.

Big up for your useful guide, fitted the blue buttons on my M2 Competition today. It took me about 40. minutes fitting time but well worth it. Buttons sourced from aliexpress and as good as OEM if BMW did them.

@TommyLGarage Год назад

Glad it worked!!!

@holgerb4563 2 года назад

You never lay the airbag facing the front of it towards the floor !!! If it pops up, it will become a projectile ! Always lay it the front facing upwards ! Sorry for my english.

@TommyLGarage 2 года назад

Okay good idea. Thanks !!

@foodieskitchenknives4275 4 года назад

Great vid, my buttons were too tight and won't return to original position, glad I tested before putting everything back, gonna try order another set and see if it's better, Many vendors on Amazon & eBay but inconsistent quality. Where did you order yours? Is it nice and loose and bouncing right back like factory? Thanks.

Anyone have idea if how to remove the m1/m2 decals on these buttons? Any idea if they are actually decals or are they painted? I ask because I actually was able to install buttons in the m1 & m2 location but I also installed on phone & voice activation location to but they have m1 & m2 logo on it upside down and I cannot figure out how to remove them.

@TommyLGarage 3 года назад

They are painted because they are recessed into the plastic.

Hi Tommy, I disconnect the battery and installed the M button, but when I restart the car, the M button not working, only flashes. Do you know how to fix it? Thanks!

@kevinryan2556 4 года назад

Hey Tommy. I just installed the same M1M2 buttons on my 2016 M3. It was almost as easy as your video! I hit only one minor snag and that was I have OEM paddle shifters and they covered the small hole on the back of the unit holding the buttons. It was an easy one-extra screw removal to move the shifter out of the way and continue on. BTW...have you done a vid on installing after-market paddle shifters? If not could you? Thanks again!

@TommyLGarage 4 года назад

Glad it was helpful! And will do on paddle shifters
