Recommend steering wheel trim? Non-sport
1 Attachment(s)
Hello!
Just got my 4.8 2007 --near loaded but did not have the sports pac. It was a hard choice for me but figured since I could not do the 20" rims (LOVE THEM) and it came with the comfort seats....it was "good enough". Lots of bells and whistles. I just kinda am like "ho hum" about the steering wheel. I found a trimp part that BMW makes in wood--but it only fits the SPORT wheel, figures. Pic below. Can anybody recommend some sort of wrap I can add that wont look cheap? I have the heated steering wheel so would not want to impact the sides where I hold when driving. More of a wrap for the top/bottom just to jazz it up a bit? Found some on a random search but afraid they will look SUPER cheap. I may no be able to jazz it up...I suppose i can live with it! LOL THanks |
The cleanest looking way is to buy an OEM sports steering wheel on eBay but they're not cheap, and you'll need the airbag module because non-sports is different.
I would say give yourself 30 days and I bet you'll get used to it. |
Thanks....just dont think I should do that....yet!....i think i did see several for 5 plus hundred...no airbag? dont want to spend all that cause then i will think
"for a few more....should have just waited for a sport pac"..... The wood trim was cheap....but wont fit. oh well.... I may forget in a bit as u said! PLUS...i have the heated one. god only knows what that would run.....rather have new rims..... |

And for wheels, recognize that you will not achieve OE quality for under $3-4, plus tires. |
Yes...I will live with the rims....and I suppose you are correct with the fact any wrap will look cheap. I will "get over it". Cheers to you all who have the sweet sport steering wheel...and 20 rims...hell, even the 19 rims are nicer than the 18. Well, I did the "best I could" as far as options. I will love the packages/extras my car has...and next time--get sport if I miss it that much!!
:) THANKS |

Steering wheel is a "no way" based on what I am finding the price runs. GOT the car!!! SO COOL!! LOVE all my options but will miss "sport". I suppose maybe I should have got it but...I bought used on a budget--and got a TON of other things that are very, very nice....so.......next time.
It is a great car. LOVE the 4.8 (which was an upgrade from what i was going to get from the start 3.0)....Glad I got the 4.8. Very. I am not in love with the rims but....not sure I want to change them but I do agree.....new rims (maybe not BMW)...would be better than $600 for a steering wheel. Or more! Those suckers are $$$! Thanks! |
Pics soon!
