Important details:

Where did you order from
Did you sew it on yourself
What pattern did you use
Did you take the old cover off first?

Looks decent.

Alli express. I can't find the link anymore but comes with custom cover and thread. Gotta sew it on over the other steering wheel.

Sewing takes some time but definitely worth it after it's done!

It doesn't match the photos in the AliExpress ad. The carbon fibre bit on theirs looks like actual hard resin carbon fibre.

I'm curious why you put this on? It's fake PU leather that will peel... Your original wheel is genuine leather.

Ali express. You can customize it. Just send them a picture of your wheel! Just have to set it right and then sewing takes a while. Worth it!

Hi guys,
I followed your recommendation and went for a cover for my 2009 125i M pack steering wheel, but when I sent them the picture (downloaded from the internet) they asked me for more info....
And thats a problem.... Because my car is 2000km far away from where I live....
And now I am in a little troubleeee....
BAsically they are asking for these three measurements of the perimeter of the steering wheel....



Would any lovely person with the same model of steering wheel be so kind to give me a hand to answer these guys?

Pleaseeee....

I bought my cover off eBay and they didn't ask any of these questions but.... hopefully you can tell which pic is for what. The one with perforated and the larger measurement is around the thumb pad location, non-perforated is top center, and the other is the last location. Good luck

My similar wheel cover started peeling today....also left black marks when you touched it...like on my khakis.

Maybe 180 months old. trying to find where I bought it.
