Fanatec CSL Steering Wheel BMW + QR2 Lite Wheel-Side

Official BMW Licence • 300 mm Diameter • Premium Entry-Level Performance

Bring the spirit of BMW’s racing heritage to your sim rig. The CSL Steering Wheel BMW is officially licensed by BMW and inspired by the 2022 BMW M4 GT3 and GT2 V2 cars — giving you authentic styling, excellent ergonomics and real value. With the inclusive QR2 wheel-side quick-release adapter, this wheel is the ideal “starter” option for Fanatec’s CSL DD base and beyond.

Why it stands out

• Authentic BMW-design styling: A distinctive BMW graphic stretches across the face and rim, giving your rig a premium, race-ready appearance.

• Compact 300 mm diameter: Perfect balance of quick handling and staying true to motorsport ergonomics — especially suited for GT and touring-style racing.

• Lightweight construction: At just 1.2 kg (including QR1/QR2 wheel-side), the rim keeps inertia and rotational mass low — preserving feedback clarity and responsiveness.

• Premium materials & grip feel: The rubberised rim surface offers a comfortable, secure hold during long sessions, even with gloves or sweaty hands.

• Tuned for performance: Built with a durable polymer internal structure and metal shifter paddles for reliability under pressure.

Control & Inputs

• 12 input buttons are placed for intuitive access, letting you locate controls by feel and muscle memory.

• Snap-dome metal shifter paddles with copper finish deliver a crisp “click” feel with every gear change.

• RevStripe™ LED + three-digit display: Mounted on the rim’s top, the LED stripe serves as an engine-rate indicator and the display shows telemetry data like speed or gear.

• Tuning access: Includes a directional stick and Tuning button for fast on-the-fly hardware adjustments (force feedback, wheel profiles, etc.).

Quick-Release & Compatibility

Thanks to the included QR2 Wheel-Side, the wheel can be attached or removed from compatible Fanatec bases without tools — meaning fast setup changes and cleaner cable routing.
Compatible bases include many Fanatec models (CSL DD, ClubSport V2/V2.5, Podium series – see full list in compatibility section).
Platform: PC only (Xbox not supported, PS functionality depends on game & console).
