Well Maintained and Nicely Modded. Does this one belong to a member?
Happy to visit and look at it for a member- I'd need a little heads up on this one- Dallas is a bit more than a day trip from OKC.
Cheers!

Check the angle of the stitching between the whole leather and the perforated leather. Late model ZHPs, like yours, have a horizontal transition between the two leather types (parallel with the ground). The wheel in the ad has that transition between leathers perpendicular to the outer part of the wheel.

It looks similar to Tainik's work. I'm guessing most shops would repair it that way rather than horizontal. The shifter boot also seems to be aftermarket?

I'm about 95% sure that BMW didn't change the shape of the stitching transition during the short run of ZHPs that had leather steering wheels and shift/brake boots. My father's 2006 330Ci has a leather steering wheel that is horizontal as well. I agree, probably aftermarket, but looks nice nonetheless.
