The right paddle typically commands upshifts while the left paddle initiates downshifts. These controls operate in manual mode or temporarily override automatic mode for immediate gear changes when needed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaintenance requirements for Alcantara sections\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlcantara sections on BMW 140i and M340i steering wheels require specific care to maintain their performance characteristics. Clean with a slightly damp microfiber cloth, avoiding excessive moisture. For deeper cleaning, specialized Alcantara cleaners should be used rather than leather products. Regular maintenance prevents oils from hands degrading the material's grip properties.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTransferring airbag modules during upgrades\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe airbag module can typically be transferred when upgrading BMW M340i or 140i steering wheels, provided the replacement wheel is designed for the same airbag system. This process requires careful handling following proper safety protocols, including battery disconnection and waiting periods to discharge capacitors. Professional installation is recommended due to safety implications.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.product-description-accordion {\n  width: 100%;\n  border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\n  border-radius: 8px;\n  margin-top: 15px;\n  box-shadow: 0 2px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.05);\n  transition: all 0.3s ease;\n}\n.product-description-accordion summary {\n  list-style: none;\n  padding: 15px;\n  display: flex;\n  align-items: center;\n  justify-content: space-between;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  font-weight: 600;\n  color: #333;\n  position: relative;\n}\n.product-description-accordion summary::-webkit-details-marker {\n  display: none;\n}\n.product-description-accordion summary::after {\n  content: '▼';\n  transition: transform 0.3s ease;\n  color: #666;\n}\n.product-description-accordion[open] summary::after {\n  transform: rotate(180deg);\n}\n.product-description-accordion .content {\n  padding: 15px;\n  background-color: #f9f9f9;\n  border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\n  border-radius: 0 0 8px 8px;\n}\n.product-description-accordion[open] {\n  box-shadow: 0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\n}\n@media (hover: hover) {\n  .product-description-accordion summary:hover {\n    background-color: #f5f5f5;\n  }\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"LS CUSTOM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55339675746689,"sku":null,"price":799.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/1530\/2785\/files\/2025-08-21_110042_086.jpg?v=1770930939","url":"https:\/\/ls-custom.com\/products\/custom-bmw-m340-140i-steering-wheel","provider":"LS CUSTOM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
