    Quick quesion for a 318is steering wheel hub

    I have a 91' 318is and the momo steering wheel hub (2006) says its for a 318i not the is and it does not include 91'. Momo does sell a diff hub (2008 ) for a 91'-98' 318i but says nothing about a is. Would the 2008 hub work for me? What hub do you 318is people use w/ your aftermarket wheels? I am getting a 350mm momo wheel if that matters any.

    edit: this is the apps for the 2008 hub:
    BMW 318I 1991-98
    BMW 318IC 1991-92
    BMW 318IC 1994-97
    BMW 325I 1991-95
    BMW 325IC 1991-92
    BMW 325IS 1991-95
    BMW 325IX 1991
    BMW 328I 1996-98
    BMW 328IC 1996-99
    BMW 328IS 1996-99
    BMW 850I 1991-92

        are you sure about the 2006 cause it says that it does not work on cars w/ airbags. does the 2008 fit a 91' 318is?

          I would think that the hub would be the same for airbag and non-airbag cars as you can fit a BMW non-airbag wheel on a car with an airbag. The only thing I can see that might be an issue is clearance around the hub.

            I am sure. I have fit one on my car. The 2008 is for E36's.

                Oh my god... just listen to me. My car had an airbag. The splines on the steering column are the same on all E30's. I have an M-tech I from a 325iS non-airbag in my car right now.

                The 2008 is for E36's and will not fit E30's, the splines are different.

                  Here, how about this, my car is a 91 and I have the 2006 hub on it, no problem.

                  If you buy the 2008 all you will end up with is a hub doesn't fit
