BMW Performance Steering Wheel

asn993 · 10-18-2015, 06:17 PM

Hi,

I have found a used wheel for sale from the UK. It was fitted to a 97 e90 330d and I am told it will fit a 2008 135i. Can anybody confirm this? It is around $450 plus postage and seems a good deal just not sure. Iy comes without the airbag and button trim.

1997 E90? I'd be quite sure there's no such thing. Sure you don't mean 2007 E90? If so, then yes it will fit. The airbag, trim and buttons can all be taking from your stock steering wheel too.

One thing you need to be careful about, is whether their car is a manual or auto and matches with yours. As yours is manual, if you get an auto steering wheel it will have cutouts at the back for the paddles. Not necessarily that bad I guess but could be annoying.

Also get closeup photos of the wheel particularly where you would normally place your hand as sweat and oils form your hands can make it look very dirty and they are not as easy as leather to clean.
