I don't have shift paddles and don't necessarily need them but am looking into a new steering wheel. please let me know.

What was the question? Also, does your 06 have the sport steering wheel? If you have the Sports wheel (which comes with the Sport Package on the E90), then it will fit fine. You can tell you have the sports wheel if the airbag is circular and pops out a little.

If you have the regular wheel, it will fit as well, but you will need a new wheel trim, possibly a new set of buttons, and an airbag. The regular wheel's airblag is flush with the trim and looks triangular. Here is a Google Images search of the non-sport: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3275/...ec0e9fe11f.jpg

I would assume cutting of the holes to allow the paddles to slide in. I wouldn't recommend compromising the structural integrity of a part that allows you to turn, though. Here's what the regular one looks like when I sold my old Sports wheel.. maybe you can compare hole size: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=418659

Is there any difference between this one and the sports non-M wheel (excluding the stitches and pads). Is the wheel itself different (thicker/smaller)?

Yes, that is the main difference. The thickness is almost double that and it makes the car feel completely different. I'm surprised the thicker wheel doesn't come standard.

Still for sale... pm me!

Beamer noob · 03-17-2011, 04:14 PM

If this is still up for sale i'm very interested, just one more question.

I do have the sports steering wheel, will i be needing anything additional in order to place this on? or will all the parts on my existing sports steering wheel work.

100% of the parts will fit except the paddle shifters. You will need the -/ shifters from the M3, as the regular ambidextrous push paddles are too big to fit.

Beamer noob · 03-17-2011, 04:31 PM

but that wouldn't matter because i don't have paddle shifters on my 330i. they would essentially just be blank spaces you can't see right?

Correct, two gaps you can't see. I have pretty big hands and I just put one on each spoke normally. It doesn't affect your grip on the wheel and you can't feel the holes with a normal position.

Already have M-Sport wheel so I can keep my paddles, although it is very nice and I would use it if the M-Sport wheel didn't exist. Or, you know, if I had an M3.

So far, 6 low-ball offers ranging from $150-$300 shipped. Come on, you all own BMWs... $350 is a small price for a new, better part that costs double that @ the dealerships...

Yes, but you will need M3 paddle shifters as the ones that come with it won't fit. You can easily sell your -/+ paddle shifters for at least $250 here.
