I ordered a wheel very much like this one from Singapore that was very well made and even had M3 stitching but as it turned out, it was larger in diameter, the leather does not match and the wheel (an E90 steering wheel as per the serial number) was much heavier than the M3 wheel. So, watch out for these issues that you can’t tell from pictures alone. I ended up selling the wheel as I am not going to swap for something either heavier or with leather that does not match. If, and only if they started from an M3 wheel (not an E90), then everything should be great as long as they use Novillo leather and the workmanship is immaculate as is in the OE wheel.
maybe they should just go with alcantara with a yellow strip at 12 o clock.
