      If it has the correct boss. It should with no issues. Does your 318iS have an airbag wheel in it? If so you'll need a small carbon connector to get the horn to work as you disconnect that with the airbag part. If you have a wheel on there with no airbag, it should fit no issues as said.

          Depends, there is MT1 for e24/e28 models. Remove the center BMW coin and look in the groove for model marking. OR send it to me in the mail, I would be happy to tell you ;)

            I made this very mistake years ago buying my MTech2 wheel, it came from an E34 M5 and although it looked awesome it didn't fit my E36 at the time! Thats what I meant check the boss. Good luck

              I dont have an airbag.

              and the problem is that the hole in the steering wheel is to small.

                    Its due to the splines that the wheel slide into being different sizes. I think you should be able to get an adapter if you really want it to fit, but when you can get an E30 MTech 1 wheel cheap enough is it worth it? Give up on the idea, sell it and buy an E30 one.

                      It wasn't made for that steering column.

                        How will I know if its an E30 one, cause I though this one was right one but I guess not.
