Madtrace® GEN2 PODIUM LINE Racing Steering Wheel System For BMW F Chassis
Description
The Madtrace® GEN2 PODIUM LINE Racing Steering Wheel System is the most advanced aftermarket hub solution ever built for BMW F Chassis vehicles, engineered from the ground up for track use, racing, and competition. 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 BMW's factory electronics - no splicing, no wiring headaches, just true plug-and-play performance. 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, cockpit-ready look.
Drivers gain access to over 20 OEM CAN bus functions - including high beam flash, wipers, turn signals, TC adjustment, and shift lights - all mapped across eight front-facing buttons and dual joystick knobs, fully configurable through MadtraceLAB software. A discreet USB-C port future-proofs the hub for seamless updates and feature expansions, while up to three saved profiles allow instant on-the-fly switching between cars or track configurations. Whether you're running time attack, circuit racing, or driver development programs, the PODIUM LINE puts total control exactly where it belongs - in your hands.
Key Features
- Dual Bus Integration (Industry First): Combines CAN bus and LIN bus technology in a single hub for flawless, unmodified factory electronics communication on BMW F Chassis vehicles.
- 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum Construction: Hub, adapter, and quick release are all precision machined with 5-axis CNC technology and finished in black anodizing for exceptional strength and durability.
- Over 20 OEM CAN Bus Functions: Access high beam flash, wipers, turn signals, TC adjustment, Drivelogic, DSC, EDC, Steering Weight Adjustment, iDrive, Throttle Mapping, and more - all from the wheel.
- MadtraceLAB Software: Fully customizable button layout mapping via USB-C connection; all updates, adjustments, and profile changes managed directly through the MadtraceLAB platform.
- Multi-Profile Settings (3 Profiles): Store up to three fully customizable button layout and LED profiles in the hub's internal memory, switchable instantly via a rear-mounted button.
- RevLEDs CAN Bus Shift Light: Zero-delay CAN bus shift lights built into the hub, flashing red at redline for instant, precise shift cues on track.
- RGB Customizable Button Backlighting: Eight front-facing buttons feature fully customizable RGB colors, configurable per profile for immediate visual identification.
- Optional OLED Driver Information Display (DID): Replaces the standard horn cap to display real-time speed and telemetry, enable on-the-fly button mapping, profile switching, and RGB color adjustment - no laptop required.
- Optional Magnetic Paddle Shifters: Single or dual motorsport-grade 6061-T6 billet aluminum paddles available; all four paddles are fully programmable for any function - not just shifting. Compatible with both MT and AT vehicles.
- True Plug-and-Play Installation: Completely wireless hub experience with no wire splicing required; includes full harness kit, CAN bus integration module, and all hardware for a clean install.
Transmission Options & Which to Choose
- MT (Manual Transmission): The MT configuration is tailored for drivers with manual gearboxes. Paddle shifters can be added to MT vehicles to enable additional programmable functions beyond shifting - such as turn signals or other CAN bus commands. Best for purist track drivers who want maximum button control while keeping the manual driving experience.
- AT (Automatic Transmission): The AT configuration supports both Single and Dual Magnetic Paddle Shifters, allowing drivers to take full advantage of programmable paddle functions alongside the hub's eight buttons. Ideal for drivers running DSG, automatic, or PDK-style setups who want seamless paddle-based control over shifting and additional functions.

FAQ
Is this system legal for street use?
No. The Madtrace® GEN2 PODIUM LINE Racing Steering Wheel System is designed exclusively for off-road, track, racing, and competition use. It is not intended for any form of street use and should not be installed on any vehicle subject to state safety inspection. Because installing this system requires removing the factory airbag, it is essential that a 6-point racing harness and roll bar are used in place of factory 3-point seat belts. Always consult local laws and regulations before installation.
What BMW F Chassis vehicles does this system fit?
This system is compatible with a wide range of BMW F Chassis models, including the M2 (F87), M3 (F80), M4 (F82/F83), 1 Series (F20/F21), 2 Series (F22/F23), 3 Series (F30/F31/F34), 4 Series (F32/F33/F36), 5 Series (F07), 6 Series (F06/F12/F13), 7 Series (F01/F02), X1 (F48), X2 (F39), X3 (F25), and X4 (F26). M2, M3, and M4 models include M1 and M2 button support.
What is the difference between the single and dual paddle shifter options?
The single paddle option adds one magnetic paddle to the hub, compatible with both MT and AT vehicles. The dual paddle option adds a full motorsport-grade four-paddle setup (two upper, two lower), all made from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and fully programmable - meaning they can be assigned to any CAN bus function, not just shifting. For example, upper paddles could control turn signals while lower paddles handle gear changes. The dual paddle option is the most versatile choice for serious competition use.
What does the optional OLED Driver Information Display (DID) do?
The optional DID replaces the standard horn cap and adds a small OLED screen beneath the RevLEDs shift lights. It displays real-time telemetry data such as vehicle speed via CAN bus integration, and allows you to switch profiles, remap button layouts, and adjust RGB button colors and display brightness - all without needing to connect a laptop. It's the most convenient way to manage your PODIUM LINE system directly from the cockpit.
Do I need a computer to program the hub?
The hub can be programmed using MadtraceLAB software via the built-in USB-C port on a computer. However, if you add the optional OLED Driver Information Display (DID), you can also perform button layout mapping, profile switching, and color customization directly on the hub without a computer. MadtraceLAB also handles firmware updates and feature expansions to keep your system current.
What steering wheels are compatible with the PODIUM LINE hub?
The PODIUM LINE hub uses a quick-release system and is compatible with a range of aftermarket steering wheels. Optional add-on steering wheels available at purchase include Sparco L360 and R383 models in 330mm Black Suede or Black Leather, and MOMO Montecarlo (350mm) and Mod.78/Mod.88 (320mm) in Black Suede or Alcantara. Optional adapters are also available for MOMO Original Horn Cap (6x70mm) and Nardi-type steering wheels (6x74mm).
