Its not a sticker. Its actually a different face plate for the wheel...

I just bought my wheel from this guy, and Ill be recieving the wheel on Thursday. Ill let everyone know how it turned out...

Reading the post, it seems that all you get is the wheel, not the cover which has the ///m on it. I think that's part of the airbag unit. I'd really like to get the cover to match my m sport knob.

The cover is a seperate part than the airbag unit. You can buy it at your dealership...

If you want the M badge, go for this:

... or you can just buy the part at your dealership for another 100 bucks. I opted to keep my current plain old black cover with no ///M logo.

My new wheel comes in tomorrow!!! Maybe Ill just get bored and have to put it on then

What changed your mind about the perforated leather? I saw a post about the shift knob saying you dont want it in your car?

Well, there was one picture that I remember looking at. It had both the steering wheel and shift knob together in perforated leather. That image alone made me change my mind.

I will be putting on the m-sport knob when it arrives this week.

I have the perf. leather on the steering wheel and I love it. Just goes to prove that peoples opinions can be changed...

ItalyBMW325 · 01-29-2006, 11:03 AM

The reason i asked is because I wasnt sure about the perforated leather either. After seeing your steering wheel I bought it to.

Hi there, I currently have the non-sport wheel.
What other parts would I require to switch over to the one listed here.
The one listed is a Beauty!.
Thankyou.

For sure you would need the Airbag which is the most expesive part. I would think you would need all that is this pic.

How long did it take you to get a tracking number after you purchased? I also just ordered the ///M cover to match my shiftknob.

Thanks

I believe it took about 10 days total from winning the ebay auction until I recieved the wheel. I would expect about the same for yours.

Im about to go for a drive to go use my new knob... I love the shorter throws and the weighted feel to it. Big improvement...

younghov85 · 01-30-2006, 06:07 PM

So what did u get bavarian19: a msport wheel and msport shift knob?

bavarian19 · 01-30-2006, 06:07 PM

It certainly isnt going to be cheap if you are going for the msport wheel and you have the standard non-sport wheel currently.

The following items you will need on top of the wheel itself:

Airbag Unit
Airbag wiring harness
Faceplate with controls (make sure you order the correct one (nav and non-nav)
Various torx screws
