Steering wheel retrofit - where did you buy yours?

I'm wanting to retrofit the heated sport steering wheel to my 2004 E53. Wanted to know what you paid for your part and where you got it. eBay doesn't have any listed (right now). I have the heated 4 spoke now, which I hate. I've decided to not get an E70 for now and so am doing some mods I've been holding off - sport steering wheel one of them.

Bought the OEM running boards and got LED tail lights on the way. Can't wait!

Steering wheel

Crevier has the best price on the M3 wheel at 370 shipped with or without the tri colored stitch. You will have to source a used round airbag from somewhere but the round airbag is fairly common as it is used in E46's also. If you go with the newer M sport wheel like the one in a 4.8is you will need to pay at least 900 for the wheel and airbag set as the newer airbag is very expensive. You cannot get a heated M3 wheel but the newer M sport wheel is heated.

Well really wanted heated function since I have it now (great after a day of skiing). But thanks for keeping an eye out!

Found mine on ebay back in Feb. This one is a little different in that its center section is leather wrapped and has a little silver trim on the bottom.

As far as buying a used airbag goes, can anyone chime in on what to look for or avoid? An airbag is something that one hopes to never use, but learning that it had a problem *afterwards* is a little too late, no? I guess what I am asking is: can airbags be rebuilt (and hence should be bought used with caution)? If it looks original and in good condition, it should be good??
