IMO, wood looks more rich and I was able to source it from 4.4 salvage vehicle and now it matches my interior.

I dig what you did with your wheel, but I just don't like how the E46/E53 sport wheel feels... it's too thin. I'm spoiled by the M5 steering wheel in my 540it, it's nicely bolstered and much thicker which makes it great for aggressive driving.
