My friend is trading in his E70 so putting it back to stock. It currently has a nice freshly covered and flat bottomed Msport wheel on it. He has offered it me for a good price for my Msport E91, so wondered if its a simple swap?

What year E70?

The wheel should be plug and play.
See my YouTube DIY Video:

This is true. The clock spring will fit the wheel but the wheel diameter will be much bigger than the standard E90.

Your best bet is a first gen X1 steering wheel. I've seen a thread where someone put that in an E90 and it looks good.

It's the same diameter as the E9x...many of the E9x parts are interchangeable w/the first gen X1, due in large part that the X1 is based on the E9x chassis.
