The X1 has a heated steering wheel now but the wife has agreed to give that up if I want to mount a different wheel. And since I already have that old wheel laying around collecting dust...
Coding won't do it, as you're missing some electronics. If you have a 35i (6spd AT) you can add the paddle shift retrofit kit from Burger Motorsports, but if you have the 28i (8spd AT), you're in uncharted territory.
