Madtrace® GEN2 FORMULA LINE Racing Steering Wheel System For BMW F Chassis
Product description
JQ Werks Madtrace GEN2 Formula Racing Steering Wheel — BMW F80 M3 / F82 M4 / F87 M2. For the F80 M3, F82 M4 and applicable F87 M2, Formula ordering starts with factory M1/M2-button equipment and transmission. That distinction matters when moving between M2 versions or planning an upgrade from a compatible Podium system.
Design and driver controls
The shaped 290 mm layout groups grips, buttons and the display in the wheel assembly. Its integrated DID is part of the Formula design, rather than a separately selected Podium display. The control-hub, adapter and quick-release architecture uses machined aluminum; verify the kit scope against the hardware already in the car.
- 290 mm shaped wheel with a machined 6061-T6 aluminum housing and rubber grips.
- Integrated OLED Driver Information Display (DID) and RevLEDs shift-light strip.
- CAN bus and LIN bus integration for compatible vehicle controls; supported functions vary by chassis.
- MadtraceLAB configuration and up to three stored button profiles.
Fitment for this Pit Garage listing
BMW F80 M3, F82 M4 and applicable F87 M2 configurations. Confirm the exact F87 version when ordering for an M2. For Formula, specify whether the vehicle has factory M1/M2 buttons; for both lines, select the correct transmission. A chassis-family label alone does not confirm every trim or prior steering-wheel conversion.
Choose the right configuration
- Control Hub Unit Only: intended to pair with an existing compatible Podium system. It is not a complete first-installation conversion.
- Full Complete Kit: selects the additional complete-kit component shown in the configurator. Review the combined total before ordering.
- ENP finish kit: an optional Formula-specific electroless nickel plated accessory kit.
Product photography may show optional equipment. The base listing, selected accessories and complete configuration total must be read together; do not assume every pictured component is included.
Compare the JQ Werks lines
Compare BMW F80 M3 / F82 M4 / F87 M2 Podium with GEN2 Clubsport. Formula integrates a shaped wheel and DID; Podium supports a selected rim; Clubsport uses the LIN bus-focused base system with optional CANBUS integration.
Track use and installation
For off-road, track and competition use only; not for street use. A racing steering-wheel conversion replaces the factory airbag and changes occupant protection. JQ specifies a six-point racing harness and racing roll bar, and says not to use this conversion with factory three-point seat belts. JQ also states that these systems must not be installed on vehicles subject to state safety inspection. Have a qualified installer assess the steering and restraint setup together. Read the manufacturer installation guidance before installation.

Product FAQs
Do I need the complete kit?
Choose it for a first installation unless compatibility with existing hardware has been confirmed. The control-unit-only option is for an existing compatible Podium setup.
Is the display included?
The Formula design integrates the OLED DID beneath its shift lights. Do not add a separate Podium DID simply because it appears on another product page.
Are the same functions available on every car?
No. Button mapping, display data and vehicle commands depend on the chassis, transmission and control-module setup. Confirm a specific required function before ordering.
