CSL DD Ready2Race BMW Bundle for PC (8Nm)

Officially licensed by BMW.

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. The new standard.

FANATEC® Direct-Drive technology comes to the CSL Series. From subtle sidewall flex to powerful self-aligning torque, you’ll feel everything with a heightened sense of realism. Exceptionally crisp and dynamic force feedback sensations await.

DIRECT-DRIVE SUPERIORITY.

When the steering wheel is directly mounted to the motor shaft, there’s no belt or gear drive to dilute the force feedback effects. The clear choice of all professional drivers and enthusiast sim racers is now available to a broader audience.

PLUG AND 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.

Maximum strength.

The CSL DD 8 Nm package includes the Boost Kit 180, a powerful 180W power supply that unlocks the full performance of the direct drive motor.

8 NM PEAK TORQUE

Using the included Boost Kit 180, the CSL DD operates in its 8 Nm mode. This provides much stronger feedback, and as a result, you’ll feel the subtle cues more clearly too.

SMALL SIZE. HUGE PERFORMANCE.

This high level of torque can be sustained without the need for active cooling, with the extruded and CNC-machined aluminium casing acting as the structural chassis as well as the heatsink.

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.
