X5M with X5 M Performance Alcatara wheel

Has anyone "upgraded" their X5M/X6M with the alcantara wheel?
Part# 32-30-2-221-127.
I know I will loose my heated but I can swap it out in the winter just in case.
Anyone can share their experience? Pictures? Instructions?

Have it in mine along with the bmwpedals paddles and pedals. It's great combination imo as it really improves the overall sporting intentions of our beasts. Below is a pic of my interior. Had bmwpedals match the blue 12 o'clock stripe on the paddles + and - as well as the M on the footrest.

Does this version have the heated steering option on it? It looks to be all leather versus the alcantara, am I right?
