The steering wheel thread

Switching from airbag to non-airbag wheel...( 91 318is)

Do you have to change the two plastic steering column surrounds as well as the turn signal and wash/wipe levers?

Acquired a nice M-Technic 1 wheel and the two levers but not the upper and lower column surrounds (shrouds). And is there anything else I need?

TIA

Just installed a350mm Momo Monte Carlo as well. Doesn't block the instrument panel and feels very nice. It doesn't look too overkill either.

This is my Raid HP 320mm wheel. Everyone keeps asking me if it's too small, but I love it, and driving any other car with standard sized steering wheels feels like driving a bus to me.
It does block the upper portion of the instrument cluster though.

Here's a pic of my 'tech II with M stitching:

Here's an old pic. Yes, I forgot to fully wipe down the dash ;)

Anything smaller than 370mm will block the gauges.

not true, i have a 350mm momo monte carlo. no gauge blockage.

whoring out the new wheel:







and the old one, a small diameter m-tech i:

i see. well that is a vast majority of aftermarket wheels so i will just live with it i guess!
maybe when i get some buckets theyll sit lower than factory seats?

i was browsing eBay for wheels and found a lot of the usual ones that I and everyone else seems to like (various wooden nardis, momo retro, momo prototipo, chrome spoke pearl JDM style wheels) but they were quite common and i wanted something a bit different. Came across this 'Momo F1'. Not sure what model it is, looks similar/same era as Momo F1 Volante but obviously its not that...what pushed me over the edge for it was the oddness of it haha i think it should suit an e30 too.

It's 350mm so i am really hoping it doesnt block my gauges, anyone care to comment? i thought perhaps a spacer may help push it up to clear if it doesnt initially?

does anyone know what adapter is needed to fit a 5 bolt Dino wheel?

my nardi wheel

Here is my latest acquisition going into my cabrio. I just found out this isn't a nardi wheel but what bmw calls the "bmw wood line" wheel. so it is authentic bmw part.

Shameless plug
What size wheel are you looking for? I can probably hook you up with a genuine Momo here in Japan. If anyone else is looking PM me with details.

lol see the post right after the one you quoted, it was posted by me, showing a picture of my new steering wheel lol... I'm also waiting for my new mtech2... I'm gonna keep whichever one I like more and probably sell the other.
