Because BMW only takes one set of photos & then uses them for both the European & U.S. brochures.

If the car is ordered with wood trim in Europe, then the steering wheel is fitted with wood instead of aluminum, or plastic or whatever that is in the above photo. So yes, there HAS to be a part number made available for replacement in BOTH cases.
