I'm wondering the same thing.

I mean, they're cool things to hang on the garage wall as decorations but a bit more useful in the car.

It's the little details that make the difference. I'm not a fan of the tuner wheels; but the BMW M-Tech wheel is awesome. :rocks:

is this the same MITE46 you are talking about? don't tell me he got a new project to put together an e90/91/92.

we are all a bunch of rookies compare to MITE46. He should change his usr name to MITE9X

whippersnapper · 10-16-2006, 02:41 PM

Straz M3 · 10-16-2006, 06:56 PM

Hesssssssss Back....whats up man...glad to see you on E90post...

Hammerfang · 10-16-2006, 07:05 PM

George!!! How are the other projects going? my roomate and I replaced the sports steering wheel on his e90 with the M-sports wheel 2 weeks ago, pretty simply and I am more then confident you can do it. I am guessing ur having a problem taking the airbag off. This is the exact problem we encountered when trying to follow the DIY. Feel around on the back of the steering wheel for two small slots (one on each side), they are hard to see and only big enough for a small screwdriver. The easiest way to find them is to feel around for an indentation on the wheel and they are right there. Once you find the opening just put the screw driving in there and feel around, the air bag isn't too hard to pop out.

PS-straz how is the 335 treating you? Any more pics?

Hope that helps,

Dan

MITE46 · 10-16-2006, 09:06 PM

I don't have the car yet...the 335i will be in sometime early decemeber...I want to put on a M5 wheel with paddles...I'm not really a fan of the SSG style shifters since I've gotten so used to the old ones...

Hammerfang · 10-16-2006, 10:34 PM

Ah I see, quick question though, how come none of your cars are manual, its either SMG or in this case step, what's the deal?

MITE46 · 10-17-2006, 02:48 AM

treublue · 10-17-2006, 03:03 AM
