    Airbag steering wheel, universal?

    Will it fit in '89 ix with cheezy stock wheel that has 4 horn buttons?

    Thanks!

    probably not, it uses a different steering column. why would you want an airbag wheel anyway? they're ugly as sin.

        Isn't there a study around here showing that e30 airbags have caused more fatalities than lives saved

          I am curious as to the scenario in which an air bag would cause a fatality other than the 8 deaths of children in the front passenger seat - unrestrained or in rear facing child seats.

              Here's a good one,
              Does the e30 momo hub come in two different sizes for pre airbag and airbag cars???

                Momo only makes one hub for the E30. The only difference is you need the correct washer to go from an airbag wheel to one without.

                You can simply order the original washer used in non-airbag cars for your steering column if you have an airbag wheel. It cost around $5 and fits perfectly with your new Momo, Personal, Nardi, etc...

                It is part number 4 on the list: 32-31-1-120-260

                EDIT: I should mention I have not done this personally, but found it off of M42Club since they all have airbag wheels...
