M Sport Steering Wheel from Europe
I've been toying around with the idea of retrofitting a M sport steering wheel into my car and when searching ebay, a lot of the sellers are from europe, specifically eastern europe:
Has anyone bought a wheel from one of these countries? Are there any compliance issues fitting them to a US spec car? I'm aware of the single vs dual stage airbag issue (and can resolve it with coding), but will I have to buy an airbag from europe to match? Or can i fit a US-sourced airbag? |

I would search the forum classifieds & watch there 1st before buying any of those...
Hell, I got a brand new 'take off' F82 M4 leather-tristitch steering wheel with the shift paddles to replace my MSport wheel for $350 shipped

The reason there are a lot of steering wheels for sale in eastern Europe is that they were stolen in western Europe.

I would never buy a wheel from Lithuania or other east side located stores.
But hey, I own a M sport wheel from my former F32 with black leather and black stitches, no airbag and pushbuttons but the lower clamp and willing to sell. If you want to pay the higher shipping costs from Germany to US, PM me and we discuss the details and pricing.

might be stolen, there seems to be gangs of thieves roaming around in western Europe stealing everything BMW related, I know it is a problem here in Sweden!

Welp, I'll let you know. I purchased a steering wheel new from the UK but now it looks like it shipped from Lituania, not England... So I'll tell you how it went :-/
