Madtrace® GEN2 FORMULA LINE Racing Steering Wheel System For BMW F Chassis


Description

The JQ Werks Madtrace® GEN2 FORMULA Line Racing Steering Wheel System brings authentic GT3/GT4 endurance motorsport ergonomics directly to your BMW F Chassis, purpose-built for track use, racing, and competition. At its core is a 290 mm precision machined billet aluminum housing with smooth, high-grip rubber - delivering the feel of a real race car wheel with the reliability your build demands. As the industry's first steering wheel system to integrate both CAN bus and LIN bus within a single hub, the FORMULA Line communicates flawlessly with your factory BMW electronics - no splicing, no wiring headaches, just true plug and play installation.

Beyond the hardware, the FORMULA Line is a fully programmable command center. With over 20 accessible CAN bus functions, GT3-style RevLED shift lights, a built-in OLED Driver Information Display (DID), and multi-profile button mapping via MadtraceLAB, this system puts every critical vehicle function right at your fingertips. Whether you're chasing lap times at the track or building a dedicated time attack machine, the FORMULA Line is the most complete and advanced racing steering wheel system available for BMW F Chassis vehicles.


Key Features

  • 290 mm Billet Aluminum Housing: Precision machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with smooth, high-grip rubber for GT3/GT4-inspired ergonomics and maximum control.
  • CAN Bus + LIN Bus Dual Integration: Industry-first dual-bus hub ensures seamless, plug and play communication with BMW factory electronics - no splicing or wiring modifications required.
  • 20+ OEM CAN Bus Functions: Access high beam flash, wipers, turn signals, TC adjustment, shift lights, and more - all from the steering wheel, chassis dependent.
  • RevLEDs GT3-Style CAN Bus Shift Lights: Zero-delay CAN bus shift lights flash red at redline, delivering an authentic motorsport shifting experience.
  • OLED Driver Information Display (DID): Integrated display shows real-time telemetry data including speed, and enables on-the-fly button layout mapping, profile switching, brightness adjustment, and RGB color customization.
  • Multi-Profile Settings (3 Profiles): Store up to three fully customizable button and LED profiles in the hub's internal memory for instant recall - ideal for swapping between cars or track conditions.
  • Profile Quick Switch Button: Instantly swap between saved button maps and LED profiles on the fly with a single press of the dedicated switch button.
  • Fully Programmable via MadtraceLAB: Configure and update button layouts, function assignments, and RGB colors through MadtraceLAB software or directly through the DID - no computer needed for on-track adjustments.
  • USB-C Port for Future-Proofing: Discreet USB-C port enables seamless firmware updates and feature expansions to keep the system current.
  • 6061-T6 Aluminum Throughout: Quick release base and adapter hub are machined from the same 6061-T6 aluminum, finished in black and red anodizing for a cohesive, premium appearance.
  • BMW F Chassis Fitment: Designed specifically for M2/M3/M4 (F80/F82/F83/F87) with M1/M2 buttons, and Non-M models (F22/F30/F32/F33) without M1/M2 buttons.

Options & Which to Choose

  • NON-M Line Up (F22/F30/F32/F33): For BMW F Chassis vehicles NOT factory equipped with M1 and M2 buttons. This configuration is tailored to the button architecture of standard F Series models, ensuring all CAN bus functions map correctly to your car's electronics.
  • M2/M3/M4 Line Up (F80/F82/F83/F87): For BMW F Chassis vehicles factory equipped with M1 and M2 buttons. Purpose-configured for high-performance M cars, unlocking M-specific CAN bus functions for the full motorsport experience.
  • MT (Manual Transmission): Optimized for manual gearbox vehicles. The paddle shifters can be mapped to any function you choose rather than transmission shifting.
  • AT (Automatic Transmission): Configured for automatic transmission vehicles, enabling magnetic paddle shifters to control gear changes seamlessly.
  • Control Hub Unit Only: Designed to pair seamlessly with your existing Madtrace Podium Line system. Choose this if you already have the base hardware installed and only need the FORMULA Line control hub.
  • Full Complete Kit: The complete FORMULA Line kit for first-time installation - includes everything needed to go from factory steering wheel to full racing setup. Best for new builds or first-time Madtrace customers.
  • Add ENP Finish Kit (+$279): Upgrades paddle shifters, QR ring, knobs, and hardware to an Electroless Nickel Plated (ENP) finish for a premium, corrosion-resistant look that stands out on any build.

FAQ

Is this steering wheel system legal for street use?

No. The Madtrace® FORMULA Line Racing Steering Wheel System is designed exclusively for off-road, track use, racing, and competition purposes. It is not intended or approved for any type of street use. Installing this system requires removing the factory airbag, which poses a significant safety risk when used with standard 3-point seat belts. A 6-point racing harness and roll bar are strongly recommended for all off-road and track applications. Always consult local laws and regulations before installation.

Which LINE UP option do I choose for my BMW?

Choose the M2/M3/M4 option if your BMW F Chassis is factory equipped with M1 and M2 buttons - this applies to the F80 M3, F82/F83 M4, and F87 M2. Choose the NON-M option if your vehicle does not have factory M1 and M2 buttons, which includes most standard F Series models like the F22, F30, F32, and F33. Selecting the correct LINE UP ensures all CAN bus functions are mapped accurately to your specific vehicle's electronics.

What is the difference between the Control Hub Unit Only and the Full Complete Kit?

The Control Hub Unit Only is designed for customers who already own the Madtrace Podium Line system and want to upgrade to or add the FORMULA Line hub - it pairs seamlessly with your existing hardware. The Full Complete Kit includes everything needed for a first-time installation from scratch, including the hub, quick release, CAN bus integration module, harness kit, adapter hub, and all necessary hardware. If this is your first Madtrace system, choose the Full Complete Kit.

Can I program the buttons without connecting to a computer?

Yes. The integrated OLED Driver Information Display (DID) allows you to perform on-the-fly button layout mapping and profile switching directly from the steering wheel, without needing to connect to a computer running MadtraceLAB. For deeper customization and full configuration, MadtraceLAB software can be used via the built-in USB-C port.

What does the ENP Finish Kit upgrade include?

The optional ENP (Electroless Nickel Plated) Finish Kit upgrades the paddle shifters, QR ring, knobs, and hardware to a premium electroless nickel plated finish. This adds a distinctive, high-end metallic appearance while providing enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the standard finish. It is a purely cosmetic and finish upgrade and does not affect the system's functionality.

Does the system support firmware updates after purchase?

Yes. The FORMULA Line hub is equipped with a discreet USB-C port that enables seamless firmware updates and feature expansions via MadtraceLAB. This future-proofs your investment, ensuring the system can receive new features and improvements over time without requiring hardware changes.
