Madtrace® GEN2 PODIUM LINE Racing Steering Wheel System For BMW E Chassis


Description

The Madtrace® GEN2 PODIUM LINE Racing Steering Wheel System is a motorsport-grade hub system engineered specifically for BMW E Chassis vehicles, including the E9X M3 and E8X 1M. As the first system in the industry to combine both CAN bus and LIN bus technologies in a single hub, it delivers flawless communication with your factory electronics - no splicing, no wiring headaches, just true plug-and-play functionality. Built from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and precision machined with 5-axis CNC technology, every component is finished in sleek black anodizing for a premium, race-ready look that matches the performance underneath.

With access to over 20 OEM CAN bus functions - from high beam flash and wiper control to TC adjustment and shift lights - the PODIUM LINE puts complete command of your BMW right at your fingertips. MadtraceLAB 2.0 software lets you fully customize button layouts, save up to three driver profiles, and push firmware updates through a discreet USB-C port, keeping your system future-proof and always current. Whether you're attacking a track day, dialing in for competition, or preparing a dedicated race build, the PODIUM LINE is the most capable integrated racing steering wheel system available for BMW E Chassis.


Key Features

  • Dual Bus Technology (CAN + LIN): First system in the industry to combine CAN bus and LIN bus in a single hub - ensures complete, factory-level communication with BMW electronics.
  • 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum Construction: Hub, adapter, and quick release are all 5-axis CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in black anodizing for maximum strength and a premium feel.
  • Over 20 OEM CAN Bus Functions: Control high beam flash, wipers, turn signals, TC adjustment, center console functions (Drivelogic, DSC, EDC, iDrive, throttle mapping), and more - all from the wheel.
  • MadtraceLAB 2.0 Software: Fully customizable button layout mapping, profile management, firmware updates, and feature expansions managed via USB-C connection.
  • Multi-Profile Storage: Store up to three fully customizable driver profiles - including button maps and RGB LED colors - directly in the hub's internal memory for instant on-the-fly recall.
  • RevLEDs CAN Bus Shift Lights: Zero-delay RPM-triggered shift lights flash red at redline for instant, precise shifting cues during track use.
  • Profile Quick Switch: A discreet rear-mounted button lets you instantly swap between saved button maps and LED profiles without menus or tools.
  • Optional OLED Driver Information Display (DID): Replaces the standard horn cap - displays real-time speed, enables on-the-fly profile switching, and allows RGB color and brightness customization without a laptop.
  • Optional Dual Magnetic Paddle Shifters: Motorsport-grade 6061-T6 aluminum paddles (single or dual available); all four paddles are fully programmable - not limited to shifting. Compatible with both automatic and manual transmissions.

Why You'll Love It

The Madtrace® PODIUM LINE is trusted by serious BMW track drivers and competitors who demand factory-level integration without factory compromises. Every detail - from the 5-axis CNC machined billet aluminum construction to the dual-bus electronics architecture - reflects a commitment to precision engineering that holds up lap after lap.

Important Safety Notice: This product is designed exclusively for off-road, track, racing, and competition use. It is not intended for street use. Installation removes the factory airbag - use of a 6-point racing harness and roll bar is strongly required. Do not install on any vehicle subject to state safety inspection.

FAQ

Is the Madtrace® GEN2 PODIUM LINE legal for street use?

No - this system is designed exclusively for off-road, track, racing, and competition use. Installing it removes the factory airbag, which presents a significant safety risk in a street environment. It should never be installed on a vehicle subject to state safety inspection or driven on public roads.

Do I need to cut or splice any wiring to install this system?

No. The PODIUM LINE is a true plug-and-play system. It includes a complete harness kit and CAN bus integration module designed to connect directly to your BMW's factory wiring without any cutting, splicing, or custom fabrication.

What is the difference between the single and dual paddle shifter options?

The single paddle option adds one magnetic paddle shifter and is compatible with both manual and automatic transmission vehicles. The dual paddle option adds two sets of paddles (four total) - all fully programmable, not just for shifting. For example, upper paddles can be mapped to turn signals while lower paddles handle gear changes. The dual paddle setup offers the greatest flexibility and is the choice for drivers who want maximum control from the wheel.

What is the OLED Driver Information Display (DID) and do I need it?

The DID is an optional add-on that replaces the standard included horn cap. It displays real-time telemetry data like vehicle speed via CAN bus integration, and allows on-the-fly button layout mapping, profile switching, and RGB color adjustment - all without needing a laptop or MadtraceLAB software. It's a great upgrade for drivers who want full control at the wheel during a session without returning to the pits.

Can I use this system on a manual transmission BMW?

Yes. The PODIUM LINE is compatible with both manual (MT) and automatic (AT) transmissions. Paddle shifters can be added to manual transmission vehicles to enable additional programmable functions beyond gear shifting, such as controlling turn signals or other CAN bus mapped commands.

What steering wheels are compatible with the PODIUM LINE hub?

The PODIUM LINE hub is sold as a hub system that accepts aftermarket steering wheels. Compatible wheel brands include Sparco and MOMO, with several options available as add-ons (e.g., Sparco L360/R383 330mm, MOMO Montecarlo 350mm, MOMO Mod.78/Mod.88 320mm). Optional adapters are also available for MOMO horn caps and Nardi-type 6x74mm steering wheels.
