This is one of my favorite e46 items that I've owned, second only to the strut bar. Really an awesome steering wheel!

The dealer damaged my old wheel and replaced it with this wheel and said the cost was $900. What car does your wheel originally go with, as yours is the only other I've seen that is like mine?

Glws, its a great wheel!

Is it just me, or is it slightly thicker than the stock wheel?

This was removed from an M3. I think these were insanely expensive, as in $1k to $1.5k new.

It is slightly thicker than the alcantara wheels.

The perforated leather wheels were found on the ZHP coupes from late 2005 to 2006. I'm not sure if they made their way into the verts. It is the most recent wheel to be release for the E46.

Its a different wheel than the perforated wheel you normally see in zhp's, the zhp perforated wheel part is cut at an angle and these are cut straight across.

This is the one that I've normally seen in the zhp's...note the angle of the perforation as opposed to the one I posted and the one that bill has for sale

They are different.

BP, look at how the stitching where the perforated leather is joined to the normal leather. When the wheel is straight the perf leather wheel that John has is completely horizontal. With Bill's wheel, the joint is perpendicular to the perimeter of the wheel--essentially a straight line from one point on the wheel to the exact origin of the circle.

added better pics to post 1 and 3 above. This wheel literally appears as new. Not a single blemish to be noted. Anything out of the ordinary is a shadow from the camera!
