Thanks LeMans - i believe you've done this mod so are well placed to opine. Not needing an airbag would certainly make it an easier decision to make.

I definitely would welcome an improvement in look and quality, but a bit concerned on the added thickness of the m-sport's rim as the sport's rim feels quite right now. I did have an M3 wheel on my previous E46 - is it much thicker than that do you know?
