this is a question that is probably best answered by owners who have owned both but does anyone know if the mtech I steering wheel is as thick as the mtech 2 in terms of grip? While others would instantly tell me to just go for the tech 2. I prefer the tech 1 because I personally think it matches the interior of the e30 more but ultimately it comes down to comfort and functionality more so than looks.

I like the M Tech 1 wheel but it was too big so I went to M Tech 2. At first I wasn't crazy about the bulky airbag look but I like the size and ergonomic thumb grips. I believe the thickness is the same except for the thumb grip area."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Easy way to make it thicker is just rewrap the tech1 and not remove the first layer of leather.
For what its worth, I have had both, and I like the feel of the tech1. I agree it also suits the cars aesthetics better too. Also, they might be the same, but I want to say the tech1 is a little thicker. That might only be because of the ergo grips on the tech 2 have a thinner and thicker section... but I like my small tech 1.sigpic
