Bought a new steering wheel a couple of weeks ago with about 3K miles on it as mine was getting a bit bobbly.

Stuck the other one on Ebay about an hour ago after 'shaving' it with one of those JML 'Bobble off's and its gone with a buy it now for £285! :thumbs:

Of course, I am now thinking it was FAR too small but seeing as one went the other day for £335 with the Airbag, the paddles AND the trim pieces, I thought £285 was reasonable. Obviously reasonable enough for someone, so will get it packaged up and sent off tomorrow to the boy.

On another not, the JML Bobble off job was great for the job, For £9 delivered from Ebay it tidied the wheel up no ends and it looks great again. Happy people all round. :thumbs:

Beauty of it all is, I bought the one with 3K miles on it for £250 delivered. Not often that happens! :hahaha:

£780.00 ouch, if BMW are not going to replace under warranty you would have thought BMW would reduce the price for CSL owners. Fair enough charge someone who just wants an upgrade £780.00

Aye, it WAS good but then Ebay took £36 in fees. There goes my profit! Should have let the auction run on as it was the buy it now fees that got me. Nightmare.

My CSL is on 24,000 miles and I want a new steering wheel so I don't think this one won't be of any use really:hahaha:

I was not saying it would be done just not like new :hahaha:

Why do you want a new steering wheel ?

Does not look like it should, gone shiny in places and bobbley. Will see if the dealers will give me a new one when it goes in for service soon.
