The Fanatec CSL DD QR2 Ready2Race BMW Bundle sees the introduction of the real steering wheel for the 2022 BMW M4 GT3 race car (Podium Series), and the GT2 V2 replica (ClubSport Series), and now the CSL Steering Wheel BMW means there is a BMW wheel for every budget. The CSL Steering Wheel BMW is a fully featured wheel at the lowest price that doesn’t compromise on performance. It is an ideal starter wheel for the CSL DD.

 

EYE-CATCHING, MULTI-PURPOSE DESIGN

A unique BMW-designed graphic stretches across the front face and rim. The 300 mm diameter is suitable for many vehicle types, and the lightweight construction retains fine force feedback detail even at low torque settings.

 

TACTILE, DURABLE

The internal structure of the polymer casing means that the wheel is strong and durable. The rubberised grip provides just the right amount of friction, and is comfortable to use for long sessions, even with sweaty hands.

 

CSL DD Now With QR2

Bring the race track to your home with exceptional Direct Drive performance in a compact design. Now including QR2, you’ll experience even more precision and detail in the force feedback.

Fanatec Direct Drive Technology

When the steering wheel is directly mounted to the motor shaft, there’s no belt or gear drive to dilute the force feedback effects. Choose Direct Drive by Fanatec and experience your favourite racing simulations as the developers intended.

Plug & Play

Our strong relationship with game developers means the CSL DD has broad compatibility and consistent behaviour across many popular titles. The Standard Tuning Menu has been simplified, allowing beginners to start quickly without having to worry about settings. The Advanced Tuning Menu remains for enthusiasts.

 

Pedal To The Metal

The CSL Pedals are solidly built from steel. Precise and durable sensors allow you to stay in control with smooth throttle and brake inputs.

Heavy Steel Construction

The stability of the all-metal design means it is built to last. The stiffer spring on the brake pedal combined with the PU foam damper provides a realistic, progressive feeling.

Magnetic Sensors

Both the throttle and brake axes use precision Hall-effect sensors. By measuring pedal position with magnets, the system is contactless, meaning no wear on the sensor and consistent performance.

• Steering axis made from carbon fibre-enhanced composite
• Fanless: wheel base housing is made from aluminium (passive heat sink, core structural component) with composite end caps
• Rotation: 2520 degrees (electronically limited, adjustable)
• Slip ring system (life-tested for thousands of hours) provides cable-free delivery of power and data to steering wheels
• QR2 quick release system
• Motorsport-derived quick release
• Tapered shape naturally ensures a tight fit
• Carbon fibre-reinforced polyamide construction

• Pearl chrome plating on pedal bases and arms
• Black powder coating on heel rest

 

What’s Included

• CSL Elite Steering Wheel BMW
• QR2 Lite Wheel-Side (must be installed before use)
• CSL DD Wheel Base
• QR2 Lite Base-Side (preinstalled)

Special Notes

Not suitable for children. A Direct Drive Wheel Base is not a toy! The fast movements of the steering wheel and strong torque can be dangerous. Please read the safety instructions.

The QR2 Lite Base-Side (Type-C) included with the CSL DD QR2 is compatible with all versions of the QR2 Wheel-Side (Lite, Regular, Pro) and does not cause any torque restriction, even with the Boost Kit 180.

In order to enable features such as Steering Wheel LEDs in some titles, it may be necessary to switch the CSL DD to Compatibility Mode. This can also help with titles not working in standard PC mode.

Only the standard 90W power supply or the Boost Kit 180 can be used with this Wheel Base. The use of any other power supply will void the Wheel Base warranty, is potentially dangerous and can lead to serious injury or death.
