BMW performance Steering wheel available for purchase in Germany?! &other questions

ERSTD · 03-13-2008, 01:23 AM

Can't stand chrome sides on sport wheel of e92 and would like to replace it with something nice...:

is BMW performance Steering wheel available for purchase in Germany!?
Do you think i have any chance of finding and buying one around Munich and Frankfurt area during ED...?! any tips on how to find one?!

HARTGE is only 2hrs away from Frankfurt, so what you guys think about HARTGE steering wheel for e92 - part 32_90_0560_C

Once again, Do you think i have any chance of buying one at HARTGE's main office?!

and Last, but not least M-pack e92 wheel-is it worst trying to find and buying one in Germany or it can be easily ordered in States?!

P.S.: Here is a newbie question/concern regarding Hartge's and m-pack wheels, they come as a whole steering wheel, not just the leather rim-right? That way replacing whole steering wheel will take care of )|( chrome parts of stock sport wheel...

Thanks in advance!!
Looking forward for your replies!!

I have the last one (m steering wheel) its quite nice, but it came stock for my car.

the hartage one (1st pic) looks even nicer, except for the logo...

e93hklover · 03-13-2008, 03:45 AM

Hartage is very expensive, why don't you choose AC which should be nearly the same as Hartage but cheaper.

The 3 Series accessories book has some steering wheels with wood trim options.

E90SLAM · 03-13-2008, 09:29 AM

The Hartge Steering wheel looks really NICE!

i'll keep the roundel on my airbag instead...

iatacs19 · 03-13-2008, 09:34 AM

Hartge one has the Brabus style with the indentations, very nice.

Yeah and it's going to kick ass!!!

Remonster · 03-13-2008, 09:03 PM

The middle is an LCD display, the ones on either side of that are RPM indicators like in Formula 1 cars and Ferraris, as you get near the redline, red LEDs light up to give you a more obvious visual indicator of when to shift when you're really bookin it.

it was in the catalog that someone posted from germany, supposed to be released soon along with performance mods for 135/335. IIRC it's ~$1200

satinghostrider · 03-13-2008, 09:38 PM

I wonder if the those with AT 335i's, they will make a BMW performance steering, for us. It sux if we have to use that steering without the paddles.

McLuVan · 03-13-2008, 10:15 PM

335iheLLraiseR · 03-13-2008, 10:20 PM

its still nice and has the same design the OP was referring to.

Kev · 03-13-2008, 11:34 PM

Yep, but the air bag won't fit though, need to get a non-sport airbag

Kalin · 03-14-2008, 04:31 AM

Yup and since the catalog was in Germany, does it mean German dealers can order one for me?!

If CF wheel on ebay cost $850, much do you think Hartge Center in Frankfurt will want for the wheel showing in picture in my first post...?!

Martinmaxx · 03-27-2008, 01:22 PM

I am also looking forward to hearing some confirmation about the BMW PERFORMANCE wheel for steptronic + paddle equipped cars.

On another forum (BMWfaq from Spain) someone posted part nbrs. for these wheels, and there are in fact separate nbrs. for steptronic and non-steptronic:

32 30 0 445 258 Steering for steptronic
32 30 0 443 170 Steering for non-steptronic
32 30 0 430 403 Mutifunction panel cover
32 30 0 430 402 Non multifunction panel cover
01 29 0 444 862 User instructions

Instalation time: 1.5 hr
Availability: March 2008

Can anyone check if these nbrs. are valid, and if there is in fact a BMW PERFORMANCE wheel for our paddle equipped cars?
