I was going to update the wheel to the new style while upgrading to paddles but having all the cruise control buttons on the left not functional was a deal breaker. Although they would still be functional on the steering column..
Heres an old thread with more in-depth coverage of what you would be getting yourself into. It's not a straight forward swap by any means. It's a huge task just getting the hardware installed, another will be to code it properly.

As far as the white back lighting that is a custom job - remove / solder new SMD LED's to the PCB's |
The wheels are all over eBay for 375 and up. With the airbag cover costing under a hundred. Have seen some for 450 with airbag. Just look up f10 steering wheel and theirs more of them than any e70 wheel lol ! Their are tons!!!
So was looking at around 2500 to 3000 for everything.
From what I understand their have been some advancements in the modules and have fixed a lot of issues that the earlier ones had. That's the problem theirs new updated stuff coming out all the time. The retrofits keep getting better and more seamless in their execution.
