M-Tech Tri-Stitch or Perforated Leather Steering Wheel?

a l l a n · 12-04-2008, 10:02 AM

Can't decide between the two. If you have seen both, which did you like better? I'm leaning towards the leather but tri-stitch seems to be more popular (maybe because it's actually better). Also, do they have the same thickness?

The Tri-stitched is thicker and softer..I have it and love it.

+1

I had it and I loved it! The BMW performance wheel feels so dull now.

I went with the tri-stitched wheel and a sports airbag.

I used the Microsoft / eBay cashback and got 20% off. For some reason I got an instant cashback for the airbag purchase (cashback was deposited to my PayPal account a few minutes after the purchase).

great choice man! I have the tri-stitched wheel and it is by far one of my favorite mods, if not my favorite. SO SOFT!!!

sweet! i didn't know there was a combined tri-stiched and perforated leather m-tech wheel.

mikeokimster · 12-05-2008, 01:50 PM

I am quite certain I am the only one in the US to have such combo.

koreez88 · 12-05-2008, 02:15 PM

It is a rare find to come across a tri stichted perforated steering wheel.

Sal@AUTOcouture · 12-05-2008, 04:09 PM

which wheel comes in the 135i sport?

Barmats · 12-05-2008, 10:52 PM

I have the tri-stitched M3 wheel and love it. Although I liked the perf leather on the M-Tech wheel, I really liked the way the tri-color stitching looked. The perf wheel with tri-color stitching is very, very nice, but I haven't seen it available with DCT paddle cutouts. If it were, it would be da bomb!
