M Performance steering wheel trim + 7 Series buttons combo?

Hello.
Does somebody have OEM M performance carbon steering wheel cover with series 7 LCI (G11/G12) "metal" buttons combo?
Is OEM M performance steering wheel cover same open pored carbon like OEM M performance trim?

You just need to find the correct 7 series button layout that you already have.
And check that the carbon cover has the correct cutouts for your button layout :-)

I know. I have DAP and steering wheel heating.
So i need carbon/leather steeering cover (no alcantara option for me ) with part number: 32302471441 and BMW 7 series buttons part number: 61319461243.
I already have galvanic doors buttons from factory and 7 series galvanic trunk button, so combo with steering wheel button should be ok.
But i don't know how is combo with carbon looks like?

Thank you!

I´m going to talk to a specialist about my two ideas soon.
1. Having the heated steering wheel button galvanized.
2. Having the lower cover painted or wrapped in black.

Because of that is maybe nice carbon (dark) and buttons (silver) combo. To not be all silver or dark. Maybe?

I want the lower part of the steering wheel to be "even".
Black or silver doesn´t matter, but even.

I think the brushed metal finish and the contrast it creates with the carbon fiber gives a beautiful final product and adds some depth to the steering wheel, as opposed to keeping it all dark or all light.

I do share the wish that both of you have in the steering wheel heat button being available in a galvanic finish but alas, no such luck finding one .

Can you take a picture from the front? Is M Performance carbon trim open pored or is glossy?

The M Performance carbon trim is open pored. It is matte in appearance and you can feel the ridges of the carbon fiber tows.

Below is a picture from the front:

Where did you source the galvanic wheel buttons and if you don't mind sharing, how much were they?

The part numbers are in the third post of this thread and the galvanic buttons cost right around $200 or so, if I recall correctly. I love the look of them, so money well spent for me!

Was this all plug and play or did you guess need to code anything? I’m guessing not but wanted to confirm.

No coding needed. Just make sure you get the right part numbers, depending on if you have DAPP and steering wheel heating.
