Any of these use the stock x5 airbag or do all need a new airbag?

I'd buy your steering wheel if it's the Tri color stitched and is brand new.

Now everything is working!
Had to make the cable for the vibrator a bit longer because you can not unplug it from the black module.

Also the red M1 and M2 buttons are not working.
But for know you can only order the top cover with the holes for these buttons.
So i mounted them, because it looks nice, and now the holes are filled on top of the wheel

These are the parts that i ordered:

Wheel 32305A8A906
Under cover 32305A8A910
Upper cover 32305A8A907
Vibrator 32305A8A8D8
Cable 32305A8A914
CarbonTrim 32307908506
Hornplate 61319882774
Nuts 32305A8A8E2
M1&M2 buttons 61318090047
Airbag 32305A250D1


OMG Dieter09 you are a lifesaver. I am trying to replace the stock wheel on my 2023 X5 50e M-Sport (G05 LCI) with one of these flat bottom LCI wheels. I'm actually happy to not have the carbon and stick with the black and aluminium (silver centre trims) - so will use part 32307908504.
If you don't mind me asking, did you just ask your local dealer to supply the parts list you have? And if I may be so cheeky as to ask what it cost in total ?

I'd love to discuss the entire swap process with you sometime, given you have pretty much done exactly what I am looking to do.

Trapsoul did you ever swap to the aftermarket steering wheel? If so, you want to sell your stock wheel?

from what i have read it seems like if you use an OEM wheel you need a new airbag. I have a 2025 x6m. Does anyone know if thats definitely true? What airbags are you buying? i thought I saw the x5/6 have a 3 stage airbag and the m3/4 has a 2 stage airbag. Are you coding new airbags?

I was told from a few aftermarket vendors that my existing airbag would work with their wheel. They may be mistaken, or their frame may just support my airbag. Im hoping to get clarity on this though because it basically doubles the cost if I need an airbag.
