what steering wheel is this

mc-m3 · 04-29-2015, 11:43 PM

I've been looking for an E90/E92 and one that popped up today has this wheel in it. Anyone have a clue as to what it is.

You can always change it out if you don't like it. Don't let that stop you!
Love the interior color... extended leather... drool

I have been looking for that wheel with the yellow stripe! I only come across the blue one

Yellow with white stitching is BMW Performance. Blue with m tri-color stitching is M Performance. Confusing, but there are 2 different performance lines.

Looking for used? Most people don't take good care of Alcantara wheels. Most used ones I've seen are pretty gross looking.

BMW has so perverted the sanctity of the letter M in its model names and option packages.

"An M followed smartly by the word “Sport” is BMW code for interior- or exterior-trim changes, chassis upgrades, and engine tweaks offered as optional equipment. The M Performance label has a double meaning. It can stand for various aero, drivetrain, chassis, and cockpit parts and accessories available through official BMW *channels. Confusingly, M Performance is also a BMW category for cars with sporting credentials, such as the M235i .
Cars designated with an M followed by a single digit are the chosen ones. " [Car and Driver]

f#@$ BMW for whoring the M logo to their low end cars.

Thats a dirty ass wheel!

Oh how I miss Alcantara. The E9x series ZCP cars got short changed when it comes to upgrades over non-ZCP cars.

Exactly! Like Audi has done with their S line

they are also different shades. My yellow stripe wheel is charcoal and my blue wheel is black.

wildwestm3 · 04-30-2015, 09:44 PM

Uh, that's an ugly wheel. Just sayin'...

I always thought so, i didn't understand why at some point it was popular. The leather suede is a complete mismatch with the hard plastic center of the wheel.
And it's quite expensive too.

Thanks guys, I kind of agree about the looks. It just happened to be on a car I was looking at. We liked everything else about the car, but it was sold by the time I contacted them.
