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

Your car came with an M Tech I wheel originally. Remove old wheel. Install new.

Mike, you will keep the same column surrounds.

His sig says he has a 91 318iS. They most definitely came with an airbag.

1991--Righto! Then you'll also need you'll need a spacer (#4 -- http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...47&hg=32&fg=30).

Also, your SRS light will come on, but I'm sure it can be disconnected.

Any thoughts or suggestions, I am really wanting a flat bottom wheel. I keep seeing nrg wheels. Anything else I should look for?

Snagged a Personal Neo Grinta - 350mm. Silver face, black leather, blue stitching :D

Got this 2nd hand off eBay from a seller in KL. He actually does quite a few old wheels..

I used to own a 91 318is that was most definitely not an airbag car

Possibly because it was Canadian.

Victor wheel, bought it about 10 years ago, came with the boss etc. Has a nice BMW horn button etc. It's like a race style steering wheel underneath but has the bmw leather centre bit. All i know is that it came off an M3, not seen another one yet.:D

/\ Great looking wheel! First one I've seen also.

Finally got my new steering wheel in, a 350mm Personal Grinta. Doesn't block the gauges at all, but I have a bucket instead of stock seats.



So much better than the Mtech 1 I had - it was falling apart.

Surprisingly I hadn't seen this one in this thread yet.

Nardi Blackline 360mm:
