BMW performance steering wheel V2

I've been looking for a BMW performance steering wheel V2 for an 1M.
The only thing I can't find if it has standard settings for temp readout.

Does this steering wheel also display (for example) temperatures in Celsius?
Ive only seen it being displayed in Fahrenheit

The P3 vent gauge does (configurable for C/F, km/miles, and Bar/psi). Not as annoying either, as it's not in front of your nose.

The installation instructions do not mention this, but I would expect it synchronizes all temp read outs with the units selected from HU or idrive (via CAN-BUS): If your display shows outside temperature in degrees C than the wheel would use the same unit.

I would also say so, but since I can only buy this steering wheel in America (or it came from America) I'm not sure.

I hope there is an 1M owner in Europe who can confirm if it works as you say eeghie!

How much did you pay for it and is it as thick as the stock steering wheel

I have both and don't really care for the P3 gauge. The wheel is more functional, especially if you track your car
