Wood and Leather steering Wheel

I want to upgrade my sport steering wheel to the leather and dark wood trimmed wheel. One dealer indicated the center section needed to be replaced ($300 for the part) the other said the entire steering wheel must be replaced, $494.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Look at #3 on the attached picture. Then go to the OEM website (see link below) and determine what you need. Get someone to translate PAPPEL HELL and PAPPEL DUNKEL for you

I've seen it before, but don't remember the part #.

Pappel Hell = Light (Poplar) Wood
Pappel Dunkel = Dark (Poplar) Wood

I think you need to add this trim piece:

I've got a used steering wheel like that if you want it, wood trim has a small crack in it though.

I was a bit confused too, until he mentioned dark wood trim on the wheel

Same here......his question was vague and we're all guessing which wheel he wants.

Kudos on the sweet dark poplar-trimmed sport wheel, JV.

He already has the sport wheel since he has sport package. He mentioned that he's looking for the leather trimmed wheel: M Wheel.
