Mtech steering wheel owners

[bmwstephen]

Can you do me a quick favor and measure the distqnce between the turn signal and the steering wheel? trying to collect some info.

Pleasr state whether ur stalk is obc and whether your car is an airbag one or not

Mtech I or II?

[JinormusJ]

I'd be interested in the MtechII specs for a previous airbag car..

Mtech I or II?

Mtech 1 but if u have an mtech 2 it would be good to state the specs too

narrow or wide diameter wheel?

Guessing by my hand it should be around 4 inches. Non abg, non obc, MTII wheel.

I have a non obc, previously airbag swapped to MT1. I think I have around an inch of clearance.

Thats some serious clearance... I was expecting less than 2.5 inches

Ya, it was weird at first but I got used to it. I actually prefer it now since there is just enough room so that my fingers are very close to grazing the stalks but not quite. Makes for some quick wiper action lol.

Just a FYI in case people didnt know...

The later airbag equipped e30 have different stalks from the earlier model. So if you swap your airbag wheel out for an mtech wheel, your stalks will be rather close to your wheel. To correct this, youd have to swap the stalks out for the earlier ones, or try to bend them.

And if you choose not to correct this, your pretty much riding with 1' clearance as stated above? I think I'd get used to it and prefer it after a while as well, but I just wanna know exactly what I'm dealing with before I have my wheel

Just swap the stalks, its kind of annoying when theyre that close to the wheel. Especially if you want to do some spirited driving without accidentally signaling or activating your wipers. Lol

i did swap the stalks. i supposedly bought a pre-airbag set but it still feels too close so I'm hoping to get some measurements

Shoulda just bent the stalks slightly. Save the trouble.
