New wheel installed today.

Can't say I've been following all the steering wheel upgrades since I've kept my car mostly stock. But that wheel is amazing, and very tempting.

So what wheel is that? I've looked at Coby's (and love the look) but don't see this wheel on their site.. Is it an E9X M Sport wheel? How costly is that and any issues with the swap? Airbag was plug & play?

And since I also have an E92....... an option for that car at least

I've only seen that wheel on eBay and I'm curious as well because it looks great and would be a nice update to the zhp. In for the details.

Indeed, it is an eBay wheel. A fellow Mafia member had a flat-bottomed wheel and I liked it so much I bought one for myself. I bought it from a seller located in Ukraine (his eBay username is "andri-zakus"). I'd bought a wheel from him previously and was impressed with the quality.

To be honest I'm not sure where the wheel is originally from. It's bigger than a 3-series wheel, just a little bit. But it has the same layout as the M-sport wheel, so the airbag plugged right in. They wrapped the badged piece in leather too. I thought maybe it was from an E53 X5 (the ad mentioned this), but I can't find an X5 wheel with the same M-sport center layout.

The leather is very high quality and they did a perfect job of wrapping and stitching it. Didn't come with airbag or upper controls but again the bottom wrapped piece was installed already. After all of that, it was only $250. It took about a month to arrive, though a rather small price to pay imo.

Thanks, I was looking at his steering wheels.

Question, does the wheel come like the image below? And then you remove and transfer the airbag, trim, controls and //M logo lower trim at the bottom from your existing ZHP wheel?

Here's the eBay listing https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-MSport-...MAAOSw86JaZkIQ

Exactly. He has quite a few variants, such as some wheels do come with lower trim/upper controls, but that one appears to just be wheel only. That one looks to be the same as mine—can you tell what it originally was from?

Also, bear in mind it is a little bigger than stock, by maybe 3/4” total. If you want exact measurements just let me know and I’ll measure mine.

so if I bought that wheel, I just transfer the airbag and trim pieces over?

Correct. It's a little hard to tell from the photo, but I'm pretty sure the bottom trim is the same. Just remember to pull negative connection to the battery before disconnecting the airbag.
