Choosing the right used BMW i3 steering wheel
Used steering wheels vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
- State if it needs the airbag included
- State if it needs multifunction controls

Fitment questions
Does the BMW i3 actually have a steering wheel?
Yes, the BMW i3 is a conventionally steered electric car and has a standard steering wheel — there is no steer-by-wire or yoke arrangement on any production variant, so used steering wheels do exist for this model and are available through breakers.
Will a steering wheel from an early i3 (2013–2017) fit a facelifted i3 (2017–2022)?
The BMW i3 ran from 2013 to 2022, with a facelift arriving around 2017 that brought interior and exterior revisions; the steering wheel mounting and airbag clock-spring arrangement can differ across this boundary, so you should confirm with the breaker that the part matches your exact registration rather than assuming pre- and post-facelift wheels swap directly.
Does it matter whether my i3 has the range extender (REx) engine when buying a used steering wheel?
No — the steering wheel is mounted identically in both the pure-electric i3 and the range-extender variant, and the small two-cylinder REx engine has no effect on the steering column or wheel fitment, so you do not need to filter by drivetrain for this part.
Does trim level affect which steering wheel I need — for example, does an i3s use a different wheel to a standard i3?
The i3s did use a sportier flat-bottomed steering wheel compared to the standard i3's round-bottomed item, so trim level does matter here in a practical sense; the mounting and electrical connections may be compatible, but the physical shape and finish will look different, so confirm with the breaker which wheel your car originally had if you want a like-for-like replacement.
Will a left-hand-drive BMW i3 steering wheel fit my UK right-hand-drive car?
No — left-hand-drive i3 steering wheels are not interchangeable with UK right-hand-drive cars because the steering column orientation differs, so always make sure the breaker confirms the donor car was right-hand drive before purchasing.
What should I check with the breaker before buying a used i3 steering wheel?
Give the breaker your full registration and confirm the model year, whether it is a standard i3 or i3s, and that the donor car is right-hand drive; it is also worth confirming the airbag and any multifunction button connectors match your existing setup, as minor revisions across the production run could affect compatibility.
