Is this steering wheel on an M3 or a 335i?

I want this exact same steering wheel, but I also want to install the longer paddles,

. I'm aware that these longer paddles only fit the M3 steering wheel, would it also fit the steering wheel in the quoted picture above? Or is that wheel considered an M3 M-Tech Steering wheel?

I just installed my alcantara base wheel. It has a thicker than normal grip and I love the feel. Forgive the filthy floor mats as it is still terrible weather here in Buffalo. This was much more cost effective than a new wheel and new airbag to make the switch to the sport wheel. I am anxious to put some miles on it...

Hi, im new to bmw e90, i recently bought a pre-lci 320i n46 engine. Its the executive edition. I was wondering if the msport edition steering wheel (with controls) would fit perfectly onto my standard steering wheel (no controls). Reason for wanting controls onto my steering wheels is only for the volume controls thanks in advance!

Since this is the "official" steering wheel thread...
A few questions from a newbie to the E90 platform:
1. Is the Sport steering wheel physically different from non-sport? In other words, is it possible to simply add Sport airbag, trim and thicker padding to non-sport? Or are the airbag hooks/brackets different?
2. When buying an M3 steering wheel, the airbag cannot be used because it is 2-stage, correct? So, it is not advisable to buy a complete M3 wheel with airbag and instead one should buy M3 wheel and separate single stage airbag from E90 or another compatible platform (can someone list these?), right?
3. Where there any M3 heated wheels offered? Are there M-tech wheels that are heated?

Thanks!

1) It's a straight swap if you have the new sport wheel, round airbag, and trim

2) M3 wheel uses the same round airbag as any E90 Sport wheel. Only the wheel and trim is different.

3) No such option exists in the E9X world. However the E89 Z4 M Sport heated steering whee is a straight plug and play option Quite rare though. This requires its own airbag and trim as well.

Anyone can help get me the outer diameter of E70 or E71 steering wheel?

Trying to see how much larger than an E90 one.
Looking for a heated, sport wheel in great condition seems to be difficult. Especially when you add shipping and exchange rate ($1 CAD ~= $0.7 USD).

Thanks.

Nice wheel, but looks like not heated and doesn't come with the airbag.

An update from my search lead me to find this thread

https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1409725

I actuslly like that trim. I'll hold off buying until I find exactly what I'm looking for and save up for it.
