BMW F30 F34 Steering Wheel M1 M2 Button Upgrade Kit with Colour Accent Choice

This upgrade kit is designed as a direct, plug-and-play replacement for the standard drive mode button panel on the steering wheels of specific BMW 3 Series models. It provides the functional benefit of M1 and M2 programmable mode selectors, allowing drivers to switch between two custom vehicle setups—such as engine response, suspension, and steering settings—at the touch of a button mounted conveniently on the steering wheel. The product is a practical modification for owners of compatible vehicles seeking enhanced control accessibility without extensive interior modifications. It is supplied as a complete two-piece set, ready for installation by those with appropriate technical knowledge or access to professional fitting services.

Features and Construction

This product focuses on delivering a model-specific functional upgrade with a choice of visual detailing. The kit is designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing steering wheel architecture of the target BMW models.

Material and Build

The button panel and housing are manufactured from ABS plastic. This material is chosen for its durability, moulding precision, and ability to match the look and feel of OEM interior components. The construction ensures the buttons maintain a firm action and sit flush within the steering wheel's spoke design, replicating the factory installation.

Size and Practical Fit

The product is designed as a direct replacement part, meaning its dimensions and mounting points correspond exactly to the original equipment on the specified vehicles. Compatibility is confirmed for the BMW F30 3 Series produced between 2014 and 2018, and the F34 3 Series Gran Turismo from the 2017-2018 model years. This precise fit ensures no modification of the steering wheel is required for installation.

Uses and Placement

This accessory serves a clear functional purpose within the vehicle's cockpit, enhancing the driver's interaction with the car's performance systems.

Event or Professional Use

For drivers who participate in track days or spirited driving, the quick-access M1 and M2 buttons allow for rapid switching between a street-legal comfort setup and a more aggressive performance configuration. This can improve responsiveness during dynamic driving without requiring the driver to navigate through on-screen menus.

Everyday Home Use

In daily driving, the buttons offer convenient toggling between personalised settings—for example, one mode for efficient motorway cruising and another for more responsive urban driving. This adds a layer of customisation and ease of use to the standard driving experience of compatible BMW models.

Benefits and Buying Value

The value of this product lies in its specific functionality and straightforward upgrade path for compatible vehicle owners.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

As a replacement part made from ABS plastic, the button set is designed for long-term use as part of the vehicle's controls. It requires no specialist maintenance beyond standard interior cleaning. The inclusion of two removal keys facilitates future servicing or replacement if ever necessary.

Why Choose This Product

This kit offers a targeted solution for adding M1/M2 functionality where it was not originally fitted. It provides a choice between red or blue accent colours, allowing for a subtle personalisation touch. Its confirmed compatibility with specific F30 and F34 model years provides clarity and reduces the risk of incorrect purchase for BMW owners.
