m-tech2 wheel opinions

[bmwstephen]

I love my Mtech 2, looks and feels way better than an Mtech 1! Looks very clean inside an e30. No ricer look like MoMo's IMO

how so? is the grip thicker? softer? harder?

[herlsy]

I agree about the Mtech 1. That's the wheel that the stock cars should've come with, not as an option.
This one's nice, too. A little steep for me, though.

[Hey-U]

I really like my M-2 wheel. I would make a point of getting the smaller one. If you recover the wheel add some padding to make it a little thicker. Best of all worlds.

I love my M-tech II but if I could do it all over again I'd get the smaller diameter one.

No not by spline but by the entire backing hub.

Thanks. If my brain had been working I could've just looked up hub adapters to see what they work on. E28 and E30 can share wheels, or at least use the same MOMO hub adapter.
Seller in the UK claims that the E36 wheel will fit the E30 but I think he's just looking for a sale.
Thanks for the info, though.

Too rich for my blood! Plus suede sucks to clean! The leather on the used Mtech 2 i got has plenty of life left and was almost half the price!

By backing, do you mean the splines and slip ring, all that stuff?

No not by spline but by the entire backing hub.

YES


NO

And are e30 and e36 wheels compatible? I see this one for sale in the UK, someplace I'll be for the next two weeks...

These wheels have two backings. The one in your link appears to be the wrong backing for the E30.
I know,I found out the expensive way.

[george graves]

People are tell you to get the small one, cause the smallest wheel is still big, IMHO. But at least you can see the gauges with it (I can, and I'm about 6'1"-6'2" feet tall)

[mightywhitey]

I think the splines are different.

I hope I can chime in on this thread later today, that's only if mine comes back done from the machine shop.
