Suggestion for the CF trim on M perf steering wheel
Hello all. I am thinking to pick up the M performance steering wheel with the blue strip center. I understand the factory recommendation is to get the matte finish CF trim insert. Since the interior CF trim is open pore style, I am not sure if they will match well. Besides, I have all the OEM CF exterior pieces in wet finish which may look more consistent. Would you provide some input on whether to go with the matte or wet CF finish insert? Thank you in advance. Photos for both version would be helpful if anyone has that installed on your M2.

Why does the factory recommend the CF centre piece? The OE part fits just as well, they are the same size and shape.

Would be very interested to see the results. Not sure I'm interested in spending hundreds of dollars on wrapped trim.

You'll need to be a little patient, at least1 week or so. Very busy with work at present, already started on the open pore trim around the DCT shifter.

Just got the steering wheel today. Thanks for the suggestion on ordering the matte finish. It is a perfect match with the OEM interior open pore CF trim. Can't wait to put it on.

Enjoy the photos. For everyone's reference, the matte CF trim is the same open pore style as the rest of the CF interior. Perfect match and even my wife loves it!

Can you post more detailed up close pics of the matte CF trim? I passed on it thinking it wouldn't match, can't tell if it's open pore from the pics but the comments are encouraging.
I'm also having my wheel insert painted MG to match car exterior. Would love to add the open pore CF trim carbon as well. |

I did the cf trim on the stock wheel. It matches perfectly, and spiffs up the interior a bit.
I also installed the MPerformance shifter, which continues the open pore cf theme on the stick. |

My local non BMW mechanic shop charged half hour of labor. Very decent.

How'd the wrap go? OEM trim is just too damn expensive. Especially compared to the wheel at $700, I find it hard to stomach paying nearly $300 for a piece of trim. I mean the damn factory spoiler is only $400!
