Will do it tonight; it's pretty straight forward..just a bunch of screws, and a lot of patience needed.
Just add it to the thread I linked above no need to start a new one, it will bump the old thread and you'll be adding to it.

In one of the threads someone said my steering wheel was not from an M5. This is an M5 with the same wheel.

Facelift M5 and M3 wheels are the same wheel, only difference is whether you have tri-color stitching or black stitching.

I thinking of trying CQuartz. I remember seeing Nano coating featured in Discovery or History channel and was very impressed how well it repelled water and other elements.

I have E46 M3 steering wheel on my X. Love the feel and the style of it. E39 M5 (01-03) and E46 M3 (except CSL and Competition Package) steering wheel are the same and came in tri-color only. Black stitching came in Sport models in E39.

Thanks. You can never get too much info about common maladies and DIYs. every picture and write up can bring another perspective, different angles, and sometimes new tips.
