How do I take of the steering wheel?

Hey r3v I want to take off the stock steering wheel on my 89 325i... Just not sure how to do that. Anyone know?? Thanks

get a tiny flat head screw driver and pop the bmw emblem out. You'll see a huge nut inside. I believe it is a 22mm. (memory fails me) put the wheel in lock position - no key. loosen the nut; make sure you have the wheel centered before removing so that you can install the new wheel in the same position. put the key in and release the wheel lock. undo the nut and pull up on the wheel. Be careful - if the wheel is stuck, don't give yourself an uppercut shot to the face. Gently wiggle and pull up on the wheel. Reverse order for the new one.

This only works on no-airbag cars. Cars with airbags is a little more complicated.

Also, a tip for pulling the wheel, leave the nut threaded on a few threads so when you pull on it and it pops off, it don't hit yourself in the face. After it pops loose, take the nut completely off and off comes the wheel.

I kinda like the bronzit aha . but it looks fresh in the pic , but in person, its REALLY BAD. many chips and scratches. so i was thinking of going with a different color.

If you like how it looks you can just tuch it up with a can with that same color
