M Sport Alcantara Steering Wheel
Hi Everyone,
I've been looking at options for interior upgrades and this one m sport alcantara wheel really caught my eye, however I have not been able to find it anywhere. It is basically an alcantara version of the m sport wheel. I really like the look of this wheel with the round airbag and button layout vs the m performance wheel. Does anyone know where I can find this wheel?? Thanks in advance! Ray  |

It looks custom or at least pre-production. Note the stitching; and the slight pull near where the 9:00 spoke meets the rim.

The problem with that is alcantara is designed to be used with racing gloves. It's not designed for daily use.

hmm... good point on the alcantara not being durable.. I wouldn't be all that into wearing gloves while driving, though if they just sold the carbon fiber trim, I'd be all over that!

Your picture is the M-performance version of a 6 series steering wheel that is indeed fitted to a 3 series.
This is the M-peformance version of the 3 series M-sport wheel: If they put the latter into production, I'll definetly order the carbon inlay piece and exchange it with the regular M-sport steering wheel. |

Alcantara lasts fine in the real world. It's not like it's never been done before, stop speculating about 'meant to be used with racing gloves'.

The oils in your hands start to mess up the material which is odd because you would think a synthetic material would be better. |

That wheel is so sick... I really hope it comes out. I feel like that could have been a custom 1 time thing.
