Default Steering wheel.

BMW have agreed to give me a new steering wheel foc on a good will, as long as i pay to have it fitted, not sure what the cost of that will be but it goes in to the garage tomorrow so will find out then, worth trying if you fancy a free new steering wheel though.

Do you use the same dealer as MarkCSL?


P.S could you post a pic of your steering wheel as it is now?

Seriously - get a wire brush and shampoo then clean it and comb it gently it with the brush to get the alcantara back looking new again.

Nice one Scott, good work mate. I tried your dealer 3 years ago for a new steering wheel and I was told they'd have to have the warranty guy have a look at it. Ended up getting one no bother from HB in Glasgow. It lasted about 20K before I bought another one off Ebay for £250 and sold mine on for £280 By the time I paid the ebay fees, I was neither up nor down.

Funny, I was thinking just the other day I hadn't seen you around the forum for a wee while. Spacers are on BTW, giving the front end that wee bit more meaner look, cheers.
