Does anyone have the M Performance Steering Wheel?

[zirotti]

Does anyone have the M Performance steering wheel? Not the digital one. The carbon fiber alcantara one.

I.e.

[M6-Coupe]

Hunter5179 has it

[Propofoln]

sorry if I offend, but that is just ugly. Glad I have my nice leather one

[zirotti]

I do realize that the picture is off what appears to be an X5/6

[N.S.A]

I think your talking about this one right? I think this gorgeous but Its like $2k I hear.

Is it only me that hates the new style Navi screens that stick out like a sore thumb?
M5's screen just looks like it's meant to be there, but the new f30, f15's, etc are horrible.

Yes i hate it too. Many mfgs are using this new style.

[Northern X5M]

Yeah. I hate the new screens too. Look like shit.

Also, don't those alcantara wheels start to look like shit after a bit of use. I heard they don't wear well?

I have one in my M3 and it has held up really well - just don't drive and eat a greasy hamburger!

All hand sweat and grease will get stuck and make it looks like shit in 3-4k miles.
but the trick is: using electric tooth brush, water and microfiber towel, you can make it almost new.

I had it on my M3 and it was so annoying that I have to clean it every 3-4k miles. So I don't think it's worth it. I wish BMW makes flat bottom steering wheels like Audi's (and keep the nice leather as-is).

I got one but the electronic one. It's so awesome especially at night when I'm on the highway it looks stealthy

Agree about the screens. Seems to be the new style that all manufacturers are going too. You can bet the next 5 series will have it as well.

I'm not sure but I think the Alcantara wheels cannot have the heating function.

They don't look great and don't feel too robust (buy the way, congrats on new F15 - I'm too lazy to post on other thread - lol).

Something about the graphics on the previous F30 courtesy car I had was also off (not sure if just lower resolution, it had prof nav). I would like to think that the F15 graphics are as least as good as F10 though?

Only if you have an LCI M5. If you have a pre LCI you will need to change the air bag, DCT paddles, wire harness.

Here is a photo on the IND M5 (Pre-LCI)

Yeah. They're OEM and some of our BMW vendor dealers are selling it online:

bmwpartspros.com has the best price ($834.15) but you're stuck with tax (they're in Camarillo, CA) and has to pay shipping (they kinda rip you off with shipping - I live 100 miles away but they charge $65 for shipping for the steering wheel).

http://www.bmwpartspros.com/partloca...catalogid=8798

getbmwparts.com has them for higher price ($935) but no tax and free shipping.

Thanks for the big help. Do you how much a dealer would charge me to install it?

It takes 20-30 mins to install.
So you can expect to pay max. 1 hour of labor.
But no need to install at the overpriced dealer.
Just find a good local shop to install.

no- as I stated earlier post, I was so annoyed with cleaning every a few months on my previous M3, I decided not to get it.
