Which steering wheel?

f10bhx · 08-16-2013, 01:09 PM

Hi,

I have just ordered an F10 M5 for delivery in November. I was wondering if the car will have this steering wheel or not, I'm guessing this is the LCI style?

DrKevM5 · 08-16-2013, 01:18 PM

Yep

f10bhx · 08-16-2013, 01:39 PM

Great, The LCI steering that looks way better! Thanks.

Not a fan of the new wheel - something about the old one looks like its more aggressive!

NlckyBlack · 08-16-2013, 03:55 PM

new one looks way better and more aggresive....

I guess it's personal opinion, but the new one reminds me too much of this:

Thats exactly it.. I was wondering what it reminds me of... and you hit the nail on the head. The Ford wheels (stang etc) are like that 3 spoke design. Like all other things, some will like it, some won't and others impartial to it. No hurt in voicing what we like and don't!

I thought I was the only one that hates the new steering wheel

+1 dont like

I like it but I think they should have made the horizontal spokes thicker. As is it's harder to reach the buttons than on the 2013 wheel, and of course you also have fewer buttons - e.g. no Mode button, and also a missing cruise control button.

The mode button is in between the Volume up/down button, on the silver trim.

Holy shit, that mustang interior sucks. lol.

I guess it's all about personal opinion. Personally I like the LCI steering wheel it looks sporty regardless if it's similar to the mustang design. I don't like how the airbag design on the pre LCI looks. Takes up way to much space. Oh well to each is own.

I too prefer the original pre lci steering wheel
