I hear you..
I had the sport wheel from before and saved 400 bucks for the airbag.. Pluss i reused the mfl buttons from my sport wheel, and paid about 330 us for the new M3 wheel..
All in all not to expensive.
I've been thinking about about getting the wheel for quite a while, because the poor quality on the leather on the sport wheel was bugging me..
The car was great, but i got this cheap feeling gripping the wheel...
But now im all happy..
