BMW Performance Steering wheel
Here's a quick late-night shot of my interiour after added the BMW Performance Steering wheel. The car now has the steering wheel, BMW Performance shift knob and boot plus the BMW Performance e-brake handle & boot.
Busted out the flashes for a nicer lit shot: Last edited by int2str; 02-19-2012 at 03:40 PM.. |

I love mine. I just installed an e-brake boot with matching tricolor stitching I purchased from LeatherZ . Now I just need a matching DCT boot and I'll be set...

Install is really easy, even with the DCT shift paddles.

The only "hard" part is finding the airbag release clips. But since I had done that before, I kind of knew how to angle the screwdriver. Once the airbag is off, unplug 4 wires and the steering wheel comes off with a single 16mm nut. A Torx driver is needed to move the trim/buttons over. It's held in by 3 screws. |

Really nice photos- the new wheel looks great in blue.
I ha no idea how much I would enjoy the performance steering wheel upgrade until it was on the car. I enjoy it everytime I drive. |

Bought the wheel for $635 from Tischer BMW.
Still getting used to the feel. The wheel is also thicker than my old one (which I like). There's definitely more grip. |

I am looking at the exact Steering wheel, on non sport package cars , does this work with the airbag.

The beauty is that the airbags are the same!

So if this fits with the airbag and the cover than the M sport steering should work aswell. Anyone has input on that.
this one worth the coin though

I really want one of these wheels, but I've heard stories that the material gets pretty gross after awhile from the natural oils of your hands. For you, how is the wheel holding up on the long-term so far in this regard?
