Urgent!!!! Need help? anyone bought from Qalbeli or Albert elliasson from Ebay? - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

breakfast101 · 05-30-2006, 06:07 AM

Hello,
Anybody has any chances buying steering wheel from Qalbeli or Albert elliasson (Sweden) from Ebay?

Actually I bought an 410 euros airbag module from him. I told him to check the part number before sending me the goods.
He said he had both models -3082 and -4559 in stock. What I need is -3082 for E90 320i.
The airbag came me in 3 days with wrong part number.
I e-mailed him back and asked for a refund of 405 euros.
I just disappeared and didn't reply to any mails of mine.

What should I do now?

I bought from that Elliasson guy from Sweden. Got my M-Sport wheel less than a week later in great condition. No problems here. He must be away on vacation. I wouldn't panic. He does a lot of business with goods. Give him a little more time to respond.

On a similar note, I would like to upgrade the standard steering wheel to the one that comes with the sport package. Where do people usually go to buy one and do they need to be professionally installed? Thanks for the input

it would be easier if some nice guy who has done it before just list
the steering p/n and ari bag p/n for everyone. so it saves time and misery!
or any other p/n that is require to make the conversion a success.

How about it gang! any takers!~

1) How did you have a airbag shipped ? BMW moes them around in big metal cages, because they are dangerous explosive devices

2) What where you sent ? -0515 ?

breakfast101 · 05-30-2006, 09:56 PM

The problem is solved......
He refunded me yesterday........
Albert sent the airbag via EMS( Express Mail Service)

-3082 is now discontinued but BMW has -0515 as a substitute airbag module for all Sport steering wheel airbag module. They are identical only the part number changed........
-4559 is for 325i and 330i.......

canucklion · 05-30-2006, 10:15 PM

after reading Fleet's reply, I'm curious now, so how did he send the airbag to you?

breakfast101 · 05-30-2006, 11:39 PM

He wrapped the airbag with plasstic and put it in the box with some bubbles.
That's it......I was told by my dealer that normally the airbag will be packed in the steel box and shipped by special flight.

canucklion · 05-30-2006, 11:51 PM

cool, guess BMW's taking the extra step just in case it does blow up.

Glad everything worked out!

climkt · 05-30-2006, 11:58 PM

climkt · 05-31-2006, 12:17 AM

hi canucklion, just posted a thread on nice steering wheels. did u get the m steering wheel for your car?

breakfast101 · 05-31-2006, 12:59 AM

Hi climkt,
Thanks for your sympathy.

The Hartge steering wheel is the cause of this matter.
I have to get the new airbag module cos I decided to mod my std. steering wheel to the Hartge one........
Everything will be done at the end of June.......The wait is killing me now

climkt · 05-31-2006, 02:59 AM

great news. breakfast101. how much does it / H wheel cost? looks absolutely FABULOUS!

climkt · 05-31-2006, 03:00 AM

hi breakfast101. i have a sports bmw e90 steering wheel. i don't have to change my airbag right? does it only come in cf trim. i may just need the wheel as i can use my silver sports steering wheel trim.

breakfast101 · 05-31-2006, 04:48 AM

Hi climkt,
You can use your airbag module. just order the Hartge steering wheel. Also, the stock cover should fit in place perfectly. I paid 825 euros for the steering wheel with CF insert but if you want the CF cover to go together with it, you have to add 250 euro more.
The thing is that you have to pay 370 euros for deposit, Hartge will refund you back after receiving your stock steering wheel.

climkt · 05-31-2006, 04:52 AM

hi breakfast101, u mean u have to give them your stock steering wheel to buy a hartge steering wheel?

breakfast101 · 05-31-2006, 10:04 PM

canucklion · 05-31-2006, 10:18 PM

hey climkt, not yet, I don't have the sport package, so I'll need to buy quite a lot of parts to complete the swap. But it's on my to-do list
