My E30 had the alcantara steering wheel - removed that on Day 1 and enjoyed a smaller diameter Alpina momo steering wheel for 80k miles.

Love my Momo wheel

Can't imagine a leather one in the CSL though

I've got an alcantara wheel in my e90 done by Royal, it is a great job, I'd say 95% as good as OEM CSL wheel in terms of finish. He won't do the yellow strip, I asked for the blue strip as a copy of the BMW performance one on mine but he said it was too hard to do it really neatly.

He used the proper alcantara so the wheel is wearing the same as the CSL one (ie is manky after 10k miles

)

There is a chap local to me in cheshire that does them too, works for Bentley and makes an amazing job but your hope so really. Will do stripes at the top too from memory.

I have currently got an order with Jack @ Royal, which I placed last week so hopefully the wheel will be ready soon.

His prices are very reasonable and the work he does is very good.

Plus, if he has stock of SMG wheels you can order a trim and then send yours back when you receive the new one which is the option I have gone for.

Nathan, am surprised he said that about the stripe at 12 o'clock, Jack quoted £10 to have it on my wheel but I decided against it, a few of the cutters boys have had him do the 12 o'clock stripe.
