KMP has developed a BMW F8X GT4 racing wheel. This racing wheel is a replica of the BMW GT4 steering wheel, but with button functions for the street car. There are 8 buttons with 2 that are free to configure. This wheel is very light to use due to the use of carbon fiber.
If an OEM steering wheel is removed, there will be several errors active. The racing wheel has specially developed electronics inside which simulate the OEM wheel with the possibility to take over some original functions such as M1 and M2. Another benefit is the possibility to control the DTC (dynamic traction control) directly from the wheel, instead of the mid-console.ves.

Free to use buttons
A ‘free to use’ button can be used for anything you want. These buttons are switched to ground, and can be used with the supplied flying leads. The flying leads are connected into the back of the slip ring (dashboard side). Connect an external timer, flash light or anything you would like to control directly from your racing wheel. The wiring for each custom function needs to be done by the customer. The plug and play solution makes sure there are no ECU error messages and no airbag light will turn on after installation.
Adapter Options
Spacer
This is the standard fixed 44mm spacer. This will be mounted between the steering wheel and the steering hub. It is equipped with a curly cable to connect it to the in-car electronics. This option is often chosen because of regulations or to reduce costs.

Quick Release
When the wheel is equipped with a quick release, a plate stays on the steering hub, but your wheel can be easily taken off. It is also equipped by a curly cable with the in-car electronics. This option is often chosen because of easy accessibility reasons. With the curly cable, the wheel can be detached but not taken out of the car completely.

Quick Release with Connector
The quick release with integrated connector is used without a curly cable. The connector can be connected to the electronics of the car. The connection is made inside the quick release/wheel hub. The curly cable turns with the wheel hub. It doesn’t get tangled around the wheel, and it doesn’t even hit the indicators/cruise control/wipers.
