Sport steering wheel vs msport wheel

I have been going back and forth on changing my xline w luxury seats to a msport pkg for the same price. Just noticed the convenience buttons on the msport wheel loose some funcuntions. Not sure what they are but there are two photos below where you can see this.

The msport steering wheel is awesome. Waaay better in person than in pictures. There is no loss of convenience buttons. The silver inlets which u are seeing are actually buttons. The convenience buttons are actually more ergonomic on the m sport steering wheel and it has better visibility of the dash and better access to the shifter paddles.

No brainier here.

Can the M sport steering wheel be ordered without the M sport package? In the 3 series it's possible.

Fyi, i was in the same dilema. Sat in sport seats at dealer and liked them. I swapped to msport from xline w luxury seats. Trade off to me was ventilated seats for the extra sport+ mode, paddle shifters ( which i loved on my previous. Car), and access to carbon color. I also wasnt thrilled w being forced to running boards on xline. Cost difference was $200 for change to msport.

Fyi, if you want multi contour or luxury seating the pkg price will get reduced by $350 on the system for giving up the sport seats if you still want luxury.
