Of course you'd say get the ///M wheel, M. :nanana:

:wow: There WILL be a few hours in between each of those three shots! :rofl:

LOL I don't even have it. Like I told you the other day, I like how the trim piece on my sport wheel matches the rest of the interior trim too much to change.

Wow, very nice! :thumbup:
Would this mod alter airbag deployment in any way?

Bimmer360 05-02-2008 12:04 AM

nope since connection for the paddles and airbag are 2 different and separate setup.

you have heated steering wheel as well right? Was just wondering if there was a special setup for this?

EDIT: read the thread. It's not heated. Mind me asking how much you paid - and is the airbag real or is it a cosmetic - if so how much?

Bimmer360 05-02-2008 11:20 AM

airbag is $350 from an ebay seller. REAL AIRBAG. The steering wheel i got it from a member here, jay.

So I found an ///M wheel on e46fanatics.com and the seller agreed to sell it to me. I sent him partial payment to hold the wheel until tomorrow when I could sell him the rest ($65 sent, $250 remaining). He agreed to the transaction and I sent him the 'hold' payment. This happend around 11am. At 11.30am he sends me an email and returns my payment saying someone else paid him immediately and paid a "premium".

Do i have a right to be pissed? somehow i don't think anyone on this board would have done this during a transaction... they would have at least emailed me back and said - listen, someone else offerd me $xx - can you match it etc? or tell me u want payment today / immediately etc - or say if i dont send by noon tomorrow as agreed you reserve the right to sell to someone else.

I'm mad cuz i thought i had my ///M SMG wheel.. the one i originally wanted LOL. And the only reason i registered to that forum.

$315 is a great deal on one of these wheels - next time lock it in with a full payment. But yes, your right, a deal is a deal. I'd be pissed also!

Yeah - had to pay some bills bla bla..

He claims in the 20 minutes he waited for a response to his email saying it was 300 + $15 shipping someone sent full payment. and he wasn't sure if i would agree to $15 shipping. WTF. I shouldn't have went to the bathroom I guess..LOL

Well - definitely next deal that comes up i'm jumping on it. I have a sports SSG wheel I can get for $200, may just go with that, since I like the sports wheel as well.
