Pic Request: Show off your M Performance steering wheel
Google images just offers up boring pictures of the wheel itself.
(Extra points for the blue stripe DCT wheel on Space Gray.) |

How about some reviews. Do you guys miss the leather? What about the wheel trim piece, does anyone know if they make that in alcantara to complete the setup? |

Dont miss the leather at all. Ive had it over 2 years now and it still looks new but always make sure my hands are clean. Also rest my hands on the spokes on longer trips. I know they make the trim piece in alcantara but I think it might be too much.

That said, I do love the shape of the performance wheel. And it IS comfy. But I keep hearing people say it grips better. I dont agree with that at all. Maybe with leather gloves, but for DD, Im not putting gloves on. I dont care for the steering wheel matching center piece. I feel its too much. In fact, without the performance seats, shift boot and matching roof liner, I personally think the wheel looks funny all by itself. I plan to rock it until I notice the SLIGHTEST wear then sell it or get it covered in leather. Ideally, I would have just liked this wheel in leather. I got mine for xmas for like 660 I think. Would I do it again? No.

Matching the center trim piece would be janky and devoid of function. I think I want the oem leather wheel in this shape with the stripe. Otherwise I don't think I like the material, the look of it or the way it will wear over time. I'm out.

The IND pics
I like the look and feel of alcantara. As noted above, the lack of matching material is weird but I'm not sure it's enough to keep me away. OEM+ means all the parts! Keep the pics (and reviews) coming. We don't have enough feedback on this mod. |

I bought my car with speed cloth and replaced the seats with leather pole positions. I plan on doing the cloth on the doors,rear panels, headliner and pillars in alcantara to match the wheel.

Maybe if I had a manual I wouldn't mind the shift light overkill. This wheel looks awesome in that IND car because it matches a bunch of the other surfaces. Even speed cloth would make it look better like it did in the E46 ZCP with this wheel. |

2012 E92 DCT black interior with OEM alcantara (round). The alcantara is more grey than black (anthracite?). I just purchased the performance wheel (blue stripe, flat bottom) and the alcantara is black - anyone else notice the difference in color of the alcantara?

The alcantara pictured in post #4 definitely looks gray (looks like my existing wheel) while the alcantara in the first two pics in post #14 looks black (looks like the blue stripe, flat bottom wheel I just purchased).
