M Performance Steering Wheel!

gasspasser · 09-17-2015, 06:11 PM

Just got this installed yesterday. Love it! I feel like I'm touching something I'm not suppose to in public

The car even feels faster! Just kidding.

Nice!! How much did you pay and what did that include?

BETO_M · 09-17-2015, 07:01 PM

Sweet, I am considering that mod as well. Do you have to buy a brand new airbag and controls?? How much was total with part and labor?

gasspasser · 09-17-2015, 07:28 PM

I got it at getbmwparts.com. They advertise it for $675. But til the end of this month, you can use a $25 coupon code that will bring it down to $650. Shipping was free and no tax.

It comes with the wheel and front carbon fiber trim. If you already have the M sport steering wheel (basically the same wheel but leather) you don't need anything else. Not sure what you need if you're not starting out with the M sport wheel.

Install labor was $125.

Oops. That promo code summer25 expired Aug 31. $675 with free shipping is still a great deal though. When I purchased, they didn't charge my card until it was in stock which took about a week. The free shipping was UPS ground.

Looks awesome!

Do you lose the heated steering wheel with it? Thats a deal breaker for me.

jtzako · 09-17-2015, 08:08 PM

So is that just the M Sport wheel with Alcantara wrap? It looks exactly like my wheel except for that.

1LegitM235i · 09-17-2015, 08:34 PM

Nice bro! Is it better as far as grip and handling?

Iceman51sn · 09-17-2015, 08:35 PM

Beautiful! Can't wait to get one myself!

Yes. Also it comes with the carbon fiber trim on the wheel.

The grip feels great! Very comfy. It also feels nice and cool in this summer heat.

I didn't have the heated steering wheel option being in sunny California so it wasn't an issue. I believe you would lose the ability to heat the steering wheel if you did this mod.

uberspeed · 09-17-2015, 10:25 PM

Great looking steering wheel, wish BMW would simply allow you to pay a fee and get a credit for the core part.

crbalch · 10-08-2015, 04:03 PM

Midwest M235i You definitely do lose the heated steering wheel with this wheel. Thats why I opted for the heated seats and not CWP, knowing I would upgrade the wheel in the future!

OP - I know you have only had it a few weeks, but how do you think the wheel is going to hold up? In terms of cleanliness, wear and tear, etc.

Lastly, you can find this wheel for $650 shipped from Brian at Sun Motor Cars as compared to GetBMWParts that has it for $745...

Merc for hire · 10-08-2015, 04:27 PM

How much can you sell your original wheel ?

The wheel is holding up really well so far!

check the classifieds for other people selling. my guess would be not a lot cause this wheel is only plug and play with m sport cars and all m sport cars come with this wheel.

You can always use your old steering wheel on your soap box derby coaster.
