Alpina or an OEM M3 steering wheel for E92?

1230vani · 10-30-2009, 04:44 AM

Hi guys, I have been meaning to get an original M3 steering wheel for my E92. I currently have an M-sport one, which I do not like it entirely (except for the soft top and bottom part

I've checked the alpina website and could not find the steering wheel purchaseable by itself. I wonder if it is better then the M3 one. In my E46 I had the M alcantara one and it was great, however it wore out pretty quickly, so I do not think I would get the performance one.

The Alpina wheel has the wood stipe on it, correct? That's a very nice wheel, but I think purchasing one is a challenge...

Thanks, I do not think it has a wooden stripe, need to check on that. The steering wheel was actually separately complimented in the english "car magazine". Just need to find it, guess I'll have to email them and see what they tell me, would be cool to match it with a nice automatic gearshift as well.

Alpina do not sell their steering wheel separately. As for aftermarket parts, you can only obtain rims, spoilers and a suspension (except for the 335i) from them. Anything else is reserved exclusively for their own production.

The Alpina wheel looks awesome, like many of their parts, but as far as I know you can't buy one. That being said, in the age of the Internet there's usually a way to buy anything as long as you're willing to pay . . .
