I had a wood trimmed wheel on an ML350 and thought it would be slippery but actually found it "grippier" than some soft, smooth leathers.

I am also looking in to getting this for my car too. I'm not too pleased with the sport steering wheel. It's way too thin and feels cheap IMO.

I prefer leather or that alcantara suede. It does look good though. How much is that shit anyway? I guess the real question you really have to ask yourself is it worth the extra money?

for me for sure, to his day my favorite mod on my e90 is my perforated m tech steering wheel. this looks like it takes it up a step. just not sure if they have one compatible for f30 m sport air bag

Yeah car is too new. Wait it out, I have a feeling there will be a ton of parts coming out with in the next year. Check out the M-sport steering wheel its pretty sweet. You may want to go that route.
