BMW performance steering wheel (non electric)

xchosun1x · 05-08-2011, 03:39 PM

i love this wheel. It was hard deciding between the electric and non electric wheel but I love the flat bottum, TDC indicator and the material is just incredible.

Just thought I'd share my excitement!!!

other parts are carbon leather wrapped wheel trim and center console (i drive)

robotrenegade · 05-08-2011, 03:59 PM

How much was the part? How much was the labor to install it?

xchosun1x · 05-08-2011, 04:05 PM

I got the wheel from tischer BMW online. Roughly 575 or so for dct.

Install was installed by myself following the diy from this forum.

I like that wheel more than the electric version. Great choice!

Valentino_RS · 05-08-2011, 04:29 PM

Can you please post the link for site you bought the wheel from and the DIY link, thank you.

Nexlevmm · 05-08-2011, 04:35 PM

oh wow i thought they didnt offer that one for DCT??! Nice job dude. It looks great with that TDC indicator. Very 911-esque haha.

Very nice... Did you wrap your steering wheel trim piece yourself with 3M Matte CF vinyl?

A friend's friend wrapped it for me using 3M carbon vinyl.

its also a great DIY...sorry no documentation on it though

good choice OP. I like this one over the electric. Steering wheel install is not too complex; just make sure you disconnect the battery; otherwise KABBOOOMMMM there goes the airbag

Nice. Do u have any idea where to get the non-flat bottom one? In other words the gts steering wheel

ooowowizstev · 05-09-2011, 01:44 AM

Congrats man, it looks great!

frankzlin79 · 05-09-2011, 02:05 AM

How cone it looks like you have dual CD players?

And what are those small vents directly below the AC fan speed buttons?
