Hi all, I'm picking up a 2011 335d M-Sport after Thanksgiving. It does have the cold weather package, so has headlight sprayers, heated seats and fold down rear seats. However, since it's M-Sport, the heated steering wheel is replaced with the upgraded wheel.

I have been doing lots of digging on the forums to find a suitable replacement for my car. I don't want to give up the lovely M-Sport looks and feel, but being based in Wisconsin, I would love to have a heated steering wheel. My plan is to source an E89 Z4 M sport wheel w/ paddles and heat. Rare, yes. But they're out there.

My question is, if my car has the cold weather package but had the heated wheel deleted from M-Sport, do I still have the heated steering wheel clockspring? I know I'll still need wiring for the heated wheel button, but curious if I'll need to retrofit the entire thing, clockspring included. Just want to get an idea beforehand, as I'm not actually able to pop the steering wheel off quite yet to check.

I like your thinking! I bet you'll have to get the upgraded (12 pin???) plug that the heated steering wheels use. I don't know if you can use those on the old clock spring or need a dedicated one. Not much help, but my suspicion is no.

I doubt you'd have the clockspring, just get it, they're cheap.
