I may be missing something-but are you looking to go from a steering wheel that has no paddle buttons to one that does? Thats more then the wheel-thats a programming issue-your tranny isnt set up for the buttons/paddles-probably only the stick input.

Did you know they were only five cylinders?

Yes I know taht programming is needed. I'm asking that won't this wheel fit to my steering axle and airbag? I think so?

And yes I'm going to steering wheel WITH buttons. Any one have done it on this forum?

Nothing new with steeringwheel yet.. How I take airbag wires plugs out?

Can I ask how much these V8 takes petrol. Maybe there your US is no matter because fuel is cheaper..

In here Finland petrol (95) costs 1,35€ / litre and diesel 1,02€ / litre. If you drive 50 000th km / year you can count what it cost if you have petrol or diesel. We have also extra taxes for diesel but it is much cheaper drive diesel if you drive more than 20thkm. My C30 take 6,2l / 100km when I drive 1700km and speed was 115km/h.

P.S.
Next spring we are going to chip with 280-290hp/600Nm..

Translation, approximately $7.56 per gallon.
And he's getting about 37MPG cause it's a diesel.

Diesels give more torque and incredible gas mileage.
e.g BMW 335d puts out 265 HP, 425 ft lbs and still averages 30 mpg.
