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


Description

The JQ Werks Madtrace® GEN2 PODIUM LINE Racing Steering Wheel System is the pinnacle of aftermarket steering technology for BMW G Chassis vehicles, engineered from the ground up for track, racing, and competition use. As the first system in the industry to combine both CAN bus and LIN bus technologies in a single hub, it communicates flawlessly 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 and feel.

The PODIUM LINE gives drivers access to over 40 OEM CAN bus functions - including high beam flash, wipers, turn signals, TC adjustment, shift lights, and center console controls - all from a single integrated system. The fully customizable button layout, multi-profile memory, RGB button lighting, and optional OLED Driver Information Display make this the most advanced, driver-focused steering wheel hub system available for BMW G Chassis cars. Whether you're running time attack, track days, or competitive motorsport, the PODIUM LINE puts complete control right in your hands.


Key Features

  • First Dual CAN Bus + LIN Bus Hub: Industry-first integration of both CAN bus and LIN bus in a single hub for seamless, flawless factory electronics communication.
  • True Plug-and-Play Installation: No wire splicing or modification required - connects directly to BMW G Chassis factory harness for a clean, professional install.
  • 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 exceptional strength and durability.
  • Over 40 OEM CAN Bus Functions: Access high beam flash, wipers, turn signals, TC adjustment, M Mode, iDrive, exhaust valve, cruise control, Bluetooth, and more - all from the wheel.
  • MadtraceLAB 1.0 Software: Fully customizable button layout configured through MadtraceLAB software, with a USB-C port for seamless updates and future feature expansions.
  • Multi-Profile Settings with Button Layout Mapping: Store up to 3 fully customizable profiles in the hub's internal memory - swap between them instantly with a single press of the rear-mounted switch.
  • RevLEDs CAN Bus Shift Lights: Exclusive zero-delay CAN bus shift lights with full red flash at redline for instant, accurate shifting cues on track.
  • RGB Customizable Button Colors: Personalize button backlighting with fully adjustable RGB colors to match your cockpit setup or driver preferences.
  • Optional OLED Driver Information Display (DID): Replaces the standard horn cap - shows real-time speed, enables on-the-fly profile switching and button remapping, and adjusts display brightness and RGB colors without a laptop.
  • Optional Magnetic Paddle Shifters: Available in single or dual motorsport-grade 6061-T6 billet aluminum paddle configurations - all paddles are fully programmable, not just for shifting. Compatible with both MT and AT vehicles.
  • Wide BMW G Chassis Compatibility: Fits M2 (G87), M3 (G80/G81), M4 (G82/G83), 2 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series, 5 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series, 8 Series, X3, X4, Z4, and more.

Transmission Options & Which to Choose

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 or approved for any type of street use. Installing this system removes the factory airbag, which presents a significant safety risk. A 6-point racing harness and roll bar are strongly required for all off-road and track use.

Will this work with my BMW's factory electronics without modification?

Yes. The PODIUM LINE is engineered as a true plug-and-play system. It integrates directly with your BMW G Chassis factory harness using both CAN bus and LIN bus technology - no wire splicing, no cutting, and no modifications to your factory wiring are required.

Can I use this system with a manual transmission vehicle?

Absolutely. The PODIUM LINE is available in both MT (manual) and AT (automatic) transmission configurations. MT buyers can order the hub without paddles or add single/dual paddle shifters to unlock fully programmable paddle functions beyond shifting - such as controlling turn signals or other mapped commands.

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

The optional OLED DID replaces the standard horn cap and adds a small screen directly on the hub. It displays real-time telemetry data like vehicle speed, and lets you switch button profiles and remap functions on the fly - no laptop or MadtraceLAB software connection needed. It also allows you to adjust RGB button colors and display brightness. It's a great addition for drivers who want maximum in-cockpit control without connecting to a computer between sessions.

What steering wheels are compatible with this hub system?

The hub system is compatible with a range of aftermarket steering wheels. Available add-on options include Sparco L360 and R383 wheels in 330mm suede or leather, and MOMO Montecarlo and Mod.78/Mod.88 wheels in 320-350mm suede or Alcantara. A MOMO Original Horn Cap Adapter and a 6x74mm Nardi-type steering wheel adapter are also available as optional accessories.

How many profiles can I store, and how do I switch between them?

You can store up to 3 fully customizable button layout profiles directly in the hub's internal memory. Each profile can have its own button mapping across the 8 front-facing buttons and dual joystick knobs, as well as its own RGB color scheme. Switching between profiles is done instantly with a single press of a discreet rear-mounted button on the hub - no tools or software needed.
