How much smaller is it than the sports E53 steering wheel? Can't get the perspective from the pic.

bit the bullet and bought an OEM fan clutch (including fan, apparently new design). Hope that will cure my dysons syndrome :D

Rear brakes done.

Outer diameter is identical, but the grips are much thicker on the sport steering wheels.

Just measured all three:

- e53 4-spoke
- e53 3-spoke sport
- e83 3-spoke sport

They are all approx 39mm. Edit: 39 CENTIMETERS. :banghead:

What did you do to / for your E53 today??
 

39cm?


Aka 15-3/8 in for folks on this side of the pond. (busting balls, your profile shows tx was surprised to see cm used but I often use SI units talking about cars designed and made with them).

:doh:

Yes, Centimeters. Thank you.

I thought you maybe meant the grip diameter which could be very close but you said the sport are fatter.

I'm not a fan of the big seat cushion look air bag. I looked into heated wheel option for my '01 three spoke but all options I found have the after thought looking airbag. My airbag fits right into the wheel between the three spokes.

For fun, I measured all three grip circumference:

e53 4-spoke = 10cm
e53 3-spoke = 10.75cm
e83 3-spoke = 11.5cm

(these are all unheated with original leather)

10cm I think you measured the circumference. 10/3.14=3.185

3.2cm=1.26 in sounds about right
