M Wheel Opinion Needed ASAP
 

Ok, I'm returning that other wheel, I believe it might be gray since I bought it from Europe. What do you all think about putting the new M X3 wheel on a X5? It looks the same as the sport wheel. Would you do this or the 2004+ sport wheel? Has anyone done this mod with this wheel? Please let me know if the pic isn't showing. Appreciate your opinions!

The M steering wheel is a bit thicker and more comfortable than the sport wheel, try a search, I remember someone doing this in the UK :thumbup:

B - This is the one I'm planning to replace mine with to replace my OEM SPP wheel. He's got it listed on ebay, but I think he's high on the price. He got it from Europe also, but it is the same as the US-spec X3 M Sport or M Tech package wheel.

Myself, Rangerfan, X5Jay, Steved and few other have done this mod. :thumbup: No need to replace the airbag if you have sports wheel on a 2004+.

Any pics showing the wheel inside of your X? Thank you.

I never took pics, but you can see these threads, its the same wheel.

Thanks everyone for the help.

I would so do that if it was heated!

I have that M wheel right now on my X5. It feels exactly the same as the sport wheel IMO.

are there heated M wheels?
