Steering wheel swap for larger diameter?

Liquidsunshine · 07-25-2015, 02:23 AM

Does anybody else thing their steering wheel is too small? Has anybody discovered a replacement that is larger diameter?

Never in my life would I think the M steering wheel is too small.

This one is 375mm in diameter, while the sport and M sport steering wheels are 369mm.

And the E90 steering wheel is of the same size, too.

I agree 100%. I love my M steering wheel. It's my favorite part of the interior. It just feels perfect in my hands.

Touched the BMW Performance II steering wheel last week. It's so damn nice.

How about a pic? Is it this one?

That's the electronic version.

There's also this one:

and this one, which is the "M3 version"

I found the M Sport steering wheel too thick while the 128i sport package wheel is tge perfect size.

This is like the 1addicts version of Goldilocks and the 3 bears..

M Sport Steering wheel is perfect, IMHO.
I dont know which wheel OP has. My ex had an E9x 328 and it had a standard steering wheel, which in comparison to my Msport felt too big and too thin.

Nope, it's perfect.
