Anyone else hear about the BMW perf. steering wheel without the electronics... looks pretty good just don't know where I can find any pricing/info on it...

Lester · 08-03-2009, 01:37 PM

How exactly is it better than the M-sport wheel? What does it do?

fmxomar · 08-03-2009, 02:52 PM

that is just a regular m sport wheel that that bottem part of the wheel has been shaved flat, and recovered with new material

SV Concepts III · 08-03-2009, 03:34 PM

The performance wheel has alcantera and an amber read out at the top with several functions. It also has shift lights across the top.

Here is a photo on an M3:

That is not an australian car. steering wheel is on the left. could just be custom

Lester · 08-03-2009, 05:06 PM

Save yourself some money and use a small piece of yellow tape on your standard M-Sport wheel.

AlBel1214 · 08-03-2009, 06:47 PM

I don't have an M wheel (I know bad decision from the start).... and I really like the bmw perf. one however it is to much $$$... I like the M wheel and was thinking about buying that but now I like this one with the flattened bottom and alcantara...

fmxomar · 08-03-2009, 08:46 PM

it is a custom steering wheel if you didnt happen to read my first post, they are NOT produced this way. This is an M wheel, it is just filed flat at the bottom and recovered.

AlBel1214 · 08-03-2009, 08:50 PM

A dealer in australia posted this in another thread that I think he got from BMW...

"For those customers who do not require the information display contained in the electronic version of the
BMW Performance steering wheel, a non electronic version, shown above, is planned to be available late
third/early fourth quarter. This steering wheel is made of both Alcantara and leather and in keeping with
the motorsport theme, has a flat base. This flat base is not available in the electronic version."

That wheel is fucking awesome. Too bad it's gonna be mad expensive.

HondaGoneRogue · 08-04-2009, 06:39 PM

Cant be that expensive, doesn't have any electronics in it. And the Elec. one is 900usd

AlBel1214 · 08-04-2009, 07:10 PM

^^^ I agree... I would expect it to be in between the price of picking up the M wheel and the electronic sport wheel...

bmw13 · 10-01-2009, 08:22 AM

i want that wheel, anything yet?

zamm3k · 10-01-2009, 08:44 AM

United BMW already offers pre-orders on that steering wheel. I believe its $612 shipped. Its up in the commercial thread.

jibaholic101 · 10-01-2009, 12:17 PM

i wish i could just take my stock m sport wheel and add that flat bottom

Me To!!!!!!

AnooooOH · 10-02-2009, 08:02 AM

Thats the new performance steering wheel.
I already started a thread for it in the photos/videos section after seeing it at the iaa.
it will cost about the same as the mtech steering wheel.
so it will be a lot cheaper than the other performance wheel with display.

bmw13 · 10-02-2009, 10:41 AM

dan @ united, any word when you will begin to receive the preorders, just so i know olw long i would have to wait...

i love it

Drew Rocker · 10-02-2009, 11:46 PM

It looks a lot like the MA Carbon wheel for Audi R8 with carbon fiber top, center stripe, and flat bottom. $2,000+. (Yow). I think the R8 wheel is raised slightly above center, though, and I don't think they make wheels for BMW.
