    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.

      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!

        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.

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

          '91 318is - OBD-II S52 swapped - E30 M3 5-lug - 5x120 BBS RC090 (E39 Style 5) - TCK D/A coilovers 550/700 [SOLD]
          '87 535i - Vacuum brake conversion [SOLD]
          '93 525iT - 5-speed swap - 320k and counting
          '09 328xi - 6-speed

            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.

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

                  This. It was the steering wheel of the gods.

                    The way you hold the wheel feels much more natural, the indents for your thumb feel perfect! completely transformed my driving experience

                              mtech II wheel has great ergonomics. you can hold it at 10/2, 3/9, or across the spokes and all three positions are comfortable. for spirited driving, the shape also helps you get firm grip. i went from mtech I to mtech II and i'm glad i did.

                                I like the M-Tech II, but honestly the prices put me off.
                                I got this 350mm Momo for less than half the price of a small diamater M-Tech II and really like it. It does block the gauges tho.
