Yup....heated...
I like the m sport wheel also, but this is 1/3 the price of the M sport wheel And feels better. It's actually a 1/8 bigger than the m sport and same thickness. I like the Feel of this wheel better. It's 4 1/2 inches. Plus this wheel was designed by me. Its not a sport, m sport or the performance wheel. It's the thickness I wanted and choice of leather. Plus the carbon fiber ring..

I really like it!!! I miss the feel of the perforated leather on my e90 m sport wheel. That wheel has a lot going on with stitching, red stripe, and cf trim

The stock Sport Wheel was like grabbing a piece of spaghetti. smile.. I thought of going all red stitching but decided on the red and blue. The car is the Sport model so it's also keeping with look of the model. Quote:
In person this wheel looks awesome. Don't let the crappy pictures give you the wrong impression. And I like the firmness of the wheel. I have the M Sport wheel on my 07 E90 and it's a little soft. This one has some give to it, but a little more firm. The guy did an outstanding job on the wheel. The good news is I keep my heated wheel option and dont have to buy a different air bag. About $330 dollars to have it redone.. And if you add extras a little more like special leather and more added padding. I did the CF wrap myself…. I’ve done quite a few complete cars so this was a piece of cake. It came out excellent. |

PM sent... Don't want to violate any sponsor rules. 3 days of work and 4 days to ship back and forth... I was down for a week. I should have planned the ship out date better. I did 2 day return coming back. Cost and extra 27 dollars. |

So it's only doable if you have a stock sport wheel? I have a base wheel with heating, and want some options....this is a very slick design!
Can he add "thickness" to the stock wheel?

I went this route because it's about $800 to a $grand to get an M Sport Wheel (With A/B) and I'm not a big fan of the Performance Wheel with the flat bottom. Plus I don’t think you can get a heated Performance wheel. And you have to recode from what I hear for the M Sport Wheel swap. That I haven't confirmed. You can design the wheel anyway you please. I put the design of this wheel together with pictures of 3 to 4 different wheels. He copied it perfectly. As I stated above the feel is night and day from the stock Sport Wheel. At first I was going to go all red thread but I'm glad I went red and blue. The Stock Sport wheel is 3 1/2 inches in circumference and I went 4 5/8. The stock M Sport is about 4 1/2 to 4 5/8. |
