[QUOTE="E34EuroTouring, post: 75464, member: 1026"] Hi et5, Oh... now I know what you are about. Ok, here goes the advice: If your car does NOT have an airbag from factory, then you cannot MAKE one!. It is not just putting the sensor in there cos where is the control unit etc etc. Dont fool around with intricate safety designs!. In my case, my original Touring being 95 model has 2 SRS airbags already. My challenge is to retain the airbag functionality but go with the nicer and smaller E46 wheel itself. I certainly wanted to preserve the airbag functionality (since its there originally). Had the car not have an airbag, then I any airbag wheel will work but the airbag will NOT function. Some people are going for this route just to get the E46 wheel working. I *must* stress that there are some serious mods to the E46 wheel like drilling holes on the wheel aluminium support to ensure it fits. It took me 2 hours with a Bosch drill and several sized drillbits and a powerful sander. It certainly NOT "Plug and Play" mod. [/QUOTE]
