......got my M Performance Wheel installed today. This is one of the best mods going. Shout out to my crew at Momentum BMW Southwest for squeezing me in with all the flooded cars. For everyone with Palladium Blk/Blk interior this is a must............Phil

What is the improvement over the stock wheel? To be honest it is not an aesthetically pleasing wheel.

The alcantara wrap and the flat bottom are great. It feels so much better than the stock wheel. I'll give you my track thoughts after the next track day. Also, you need to see the wheel in person to appreciate it..............Phil

I think that wheel is sweet, but the stock wheel is just so right that I can't imagine making the change.

Nice wheel!! May I ask the ball park price for it?

The improvement over the stock leather wheel is the increased grip provided by the alcantara material. The blue stripe also supposedly reinforces the amount of steering input that the driver is giving without having to take his/her eyes off the road.

However, the flat bottom design is a deterioration over stock, as this wheel actually takes up more real estate than the round wheel in order to accomodate the flat bottom.

Not correct....these wheels are exactly the same size. It doesn't take up any more space than the stock wheel. I checked it right after the install because I wanted to be sure it wasn't a larger wheel................Phil

It looks great. I have the same interior, which I don't see very often. Whats the cost including install?

Thanks for the Luv

Shop around for the wheel and find the best price. We have a few vendors on here that you can try. There's also a DIY on the install if you are inspired to do it yourself.........Phil

SchnellM3 · 01-10-2012, 08:29 PM

Looking Good! I really like that interior with the SilverStone

disapr · 01-10-2012, 11:06 PM

THE TECH · 01-11-2012, 08:45 AM

prichards516 · 01-11-2012, 09:16 PM

i gotta agree, the wheel is a nice touch!

kmarei · 01-11-2012, 10:24 PM

I installed mine with only the DIY for backup
It's pretty easy
Just make sure to disconnect the battery so no airbags blow up

USMC M3 · 01-11-2012, 10:45 PM

mine was put in at the port, when I first saw it I questioned why, however, now I can't imagine without

tiggers m3 · 01-12-2012, 11:57 AM

I'm thinking of getting one with the yellow stripe.

What are you waiting for......it's one of those mods you don't know you need until you do it. Plus I needed something else to add to my signature......keeping up with yours is becoming a tough azz task

Steering wheel looks really good. I think if you both put your mods together you might catch up to me lol. j/k I hope to see your car in person someday in person Phil since I live about 3 hrs away from Houston. Plus I drive all over Texas all the time.

Yeah I was reading about your trip to the coast......I need to see your whip as well. At some point the mod bug will free you from it's terrible grasp and that will be our opportunity to close in
