WTB: Stock E92 M3 steering wheel

After one in very good condition. Mine is shiny due to mileage rather than the nice matte finish they are meant to be.

PM me please

Edit: will also try couple things suggested online to bring it back to matte... will update how it goes

Mate be cautious with the magic eraser, it works by lightly sanding the top part of the leather off.

Letherique or Swissvax leather cleaner are much better option in my opinion.
Good luck

Magic eraser is an abrasive compound (kind of like a sugar soap bar), but if you use it really wet and only the once it should be fine, but I recall from having used it on my e46 that the change doesn't last all that long.

The shinyness is from a combo of oils being absorbed and some mild surface compression and impurity's. You can kind of fix it for a little, but it will come back fairly quick from previous experience.
