You should see the little green Live 25% discount logo on the upper left-hand corner of the eBay screen. As long as you do, you should be OK. You also need to make sure you are logged into your eBay account. You have one hour to buy the item after using the Live click-through link to get to eBay.

Search for the seller "qalbeli".

Once you find his store, pick out the wheel you want and click the Buy It Now button. You should get a screen confirming that you are buying through the Live program and that you will receive the ~$75 rebate. Click through to buy the item.

Once you buy the item, you will, within about 10 minutes, receive a message in your eBay message box with instructions on how to activate your Live account (if you already have an MSN, Xbox Live or other MS account already, you will just use that - I used my Xbox Live account).

You MUST pay with Paypal, and you have to pay within 30 days. My understanding is that your Live account will show the purchase within a few days, and you will get the rebate in about 60 days.

I learned about this deal here, and if you have additional questions, they are probably answered in that thread.

Hi guys!

New to the forum and just bought my first bimmer! What can I say? I just loove it!

Now I'm thinking of getting the new M3 wheel to it and I soon found Qalbeli on Ebay.

Since it seams like some of you bought stuff from him before, I have a few questions...:
Is he as good as he seams to be? Are his items "real" OEM ? Are you satisfied with your purchases? And how can he get the steeringwheels for such low prices?

I haven't spoke to him yet but I've done som checks and there's no company that's called "AGE Styling" here in Sweden.

It all seams just a little bit wierd for me... but hopefully I'm wrong

, right?

phattbam · 08-18-2008, 12:08 AM

great customer service, fast shipping. I love my M sport wheel.

Hawkee · 08-18-2008, 03:30 AM

Hm okay..

Well, I haven't found anything negative said by buyers so as far as I can see there's no risk

cipher5 · 08-18-2008, 07:04 AM

Right now ebay live search discount is 15%

phattbam · 08-18-2008, 10:09 AM

that www.live.com rebate ranges... try searching for other stuff too.. playseats (racing seats for video games) or logitech g25.. I recently saved 25% off by randomly using other search words

I just checked the shipment tracking page, and my steering wheel just got to my house!

I ordered a bunch of stuff at the same time, and this was the first item to arrive - and it came all the way from europe! My intake and oil catch can haven't even shipped yet, lol.

Order made: Monday, Aug 11, 2008, 7:57 pm PDT
package received: August 18, 2008, 8:20 am

Basically a 6 day turnaround time - 4 business days!

I am VERY happy with this seller so far. I'll report back after I get home tonight and check out the wheel.

Sounds great man!

TaTaToothy · 08-18-2008, 03:21 PM

I just got my M3 wheel from qalbeli - this thing is amazing! I am just playing with it at work, but it's really beastly. Curiously it shipped from Poland, but in any case I received it one week after ordering, and it's brand-new and exactly as ordered. I probably won't put it on until the weekend, but I'm definitely looking forward to it!

JO3 · 08-18-2008, 06:59 PM

Mine shipped from Poland as well, WARSZAWA WER, POLAND to be exact.

JO3 · 08-19-2008, 01:45 AM

Finally got home and saw my package.

Everything is perfect, well packaged, and in excellent condition!!

I can't wait to install it.

Here are some pics:

phattbam · 08-19-2008, 01:49 AM

congrats, the packaging is pretty well wrapped

JO3 · 08-19-2008, 02:03 AM

yeah, there's 2 layers of green foam sheets protecting the leather, about 6 feet of shrink wrapping, and then a layer of bubble wrap, lol.

The 328xi is identical to the 325xi in every way but engine, isn't it? As far as I know there are only two steering wheels for the E9x series, the sport wheel and the non-sport wheel (though I know there are two slightly different sport wheels, one of which is thicker than the other, this doesn't affect fitment). The M3 wheel should fit any car that comes equipped with a sport wheel.
