Steering wheel

jbomb · 07-02-2013, 02:06 PM

I have never really been that interested in the M6 style (M5 facelifted) steering wheel, but I have to say this version on the 3 series is lovely.

I would buy that if it was leather with the M color stiching, possibly a flat bottom too.

I would, too...IMHO a lot of the steering wheels we see are superior to the one that came standard. The fact that we have to pratically "beg" BMW to make a better wheel for our pre-LCI M5s is absurd. I love my car but don't make the "M" stand for "Meh"...

AlphaAlpineM6 · 07-02-2013, 03:06 PM

love the suede. would be nice with a flat bottom indeed. we'll just have to wait and see some performance wheels on the m3 and hopefully adopt them

Agreed

Flat bottom and a little flat on top would make it nicer

What is the reason for desiring a flat bottom wheel? Purely aesthetics?

greentrbo95gst · 07-02-2013, 11:47 PM

This is a nice wheel. BMW needs to step it up for the pre-lci guys. Back to reality......it won't happen.

Also but in my amgs my legs fit better with the flat bottom (I always drive with the steering wheel all the way down)

The F10 ///M Performance steering wheel can be fit into the M5
It does have a flat bottom, just not a "flat" top and double spoke design

Cool. Do you know if it comes with the M1 and M2 buttons - surely it would need to be a special order ?

jmh · 07-03-2013, 05:09 PM

Nope. You simply move the buttons/wiring and other components (lane departure etc) from your "old" steering wheel to the new one

Below are pics from the ///M Performance steering wheel installed in my car

JMH, where did you order your steering wheel from? I've only found F10 Non-M options. Love the look of the flat bottom wheel.

jmh · 07-04-2013, 06:14 AM

You can buy the steering wheel at any BMW dealer
It is the ///M Performance Steering wheel for the F10 , it doesn't list the M5 but will fit
it just fine (you just have to move the wires/buttons/pedals)

Part # is 32302253648

It looks "cheap" in real life.

kylek13 · 07-04-2013, 09:01 AM

? It looks exactly like his photos, to each his own, I love it.

Warehouser · 07-04-2013, 09:40 AM

I have one and love it. Eventually when the alcantara wears I'll have it wrapped in leather with the correct colored stitching. I really like the squared off bottom.

sultanattar · 07-05-2013, 04:14 PM

Is there a part number out for the 3 series / M6 steering wheel in alcantara with carbon fiber?

nynd · 07-05-2013, 06:20 PM

Was reading up on it and do you lose the heated wheel function? Small price to pay but just wondering if thats the case?

Yes, heating is gone. But vibration is still there.

nynd · 07-05-2013, 09:02 PM

Does that red (on the center) match the Sakhir Interior red?

It's a close but not exact match
