From the buttons design, I assume the both X7 and new M4 steering wheel functionalities are identical (except the M buttons). Would you consider replacing yours with the one below? I believe it would look great on X7.

Looks really cool! I just dont like the carbon fiber part. It wouldnt go well with any of the X7 trims but maybe the carbon fiber on m60 but thats shiny and this is matte

The carbon trims at X7 is glossy that's identical to new M4 steering wheel trim. However, XM has matte carbon trims. It wouldn't align with XM.

It looks gorgeous indeed. Furthermore, it requires a technician to swap the airbag between the steering wheels.

Can’t see what the advantage would be to put a 4 series wheel on a X7? Is it to get the flat bottom?

I don't know why I love the flat bottom wheel so much but I do... it's in my wife's GLE43 and I love it.

tbh this is the steering wheel that I want to retrofit on my X7. Anyone thinks it would work? buttons seem to be similar and it works with the same iDrive version/headunit software on the 7 series

I've been waiting to upgrade my m50i wheel to something more aggressive but I don't think BMW sells these individually and I didn't want to risk the warranty for something aftermarket. If BMW offered those carbon fiber full M wheels with flat bottoms or that new one in the i5 and not void the warranty, I would do it.

Looks pretty

On the topic of steering wheel, I wish on X7s with the M package, they used the version with chrome buttons (see photo) as it goes better with the rest of the switches on the X7. Trying to find if there's a version of this chrome button steering wheel that would fit the LCI. This photo is from a 2022 7 series.

EDIT: Found these buttons as a separate part. I wonder if just replacing the buttons would work on X7 LCI. They seem to be the exact same buttons that comes on the LCI. Any thoughts or advice?
