M Tech I Steering Wheel - Have Fine, want to trade for Coarse Spline

[davej]

Well, I learned about coarse vs fine splines this week, unfortunately that was after I bought this steering wheel.

I really like the wheel for my 76 2002, and figured I'd put this out in case someone has a coarse spline M Tech 1 they'd want to trade. (also open to other steering wheels, send me a photo of what you have.)

The steering wheel is in good condition, it's marked kba 70073 I haven't cleaned/conditioned the leather yet but still looks good. It looks like there's a broken part on the back, and from what I've read that should be a tab for the turn signal indicator, but that's the way I got it. It was missing the M badge, but I bought a oem replacement, still has the protective cover on it.

Thanks!

So is this for an e30?

Yeah, from what i've read the fine spline steering column was used on the following

- E30 all versions without airbag until 1990, including M3
- E32 all versions without airbag, including 750i
- E28 all versions without airbag, built after 09/85, including M535i
- E24 all versions without airbag, built after 09/85, including M635CSi and M6
- E34 all versions without airbag, including M5

anything with a pre- 9/85 build date should have the coarse column. (which is what i need on the '02)
