New steering wheel FINALLY installed....
Here are the pics.........I am VERY happy with it. I've been wanting to do this for a few months now, but I finally got a decent deal on an airbag and received it on Tuesday.........

Looks great Chris! Interesting that you went with the +'04 version. I guess since you needed the airbag anyway it didn't matter which version you went with.

Nice, the only thing I do not like about those wheels is they don't have a heating element, or do they?
Anyhow, nice wheel

They are heated, if you have that option already. That's why I went with a Sport Wheel instead of an M.

Thanks, guys.........makes me feel like I'm driving a new vehicle.
I think it does for the interior what my 87's did for the exterior........(ALMOST). After this addition, I may want to drive it more than 7,000 miles/yr. I'm coming up on my 1 yr. anniversary on 7/23/06..............

how much did the entire setup cost you? I like the new steering wheel much better than the one in my 2001.

I bought the almost brand new steering wheel from a VERY nice Rob Peteuil on this board who had less than 300 miles on it (he replaced his with an ///M wheel) for $150 and I got a decent deal on an airbag from BMW of Nashville for $576 + $12.42 shipping. My local dealer couldn't even beat that deal.......then I had it installed for $92 + tax. It only took them about 10 min. to install, but I was charged for 1 hour labor......oh well, that's the breaks on that one...............
It is kind of expensive, but I feel it was well worth it. I am VERY happy with the results. .

Looks great...I love the thicker steering wheel feel after driving my dad's 545i.
