Last week I had a X3 2014 loaner and it had a reasonably thick steering wheel, a wheel about as thick as that in my Z3 except the Z3 wheel is leather covered. It was also a wheel I would have not given a second thought about if I also did not have the M Sport wheel in my X3. I perceive the extra thick leather M Sport wheel to be consequentially thicker and certainly more satisfying to hold. This is very obviously a personal opinion thing but difference, IMO, is sufficiently significant that the next BMW I buy will have the thick M Sport steering wheel as I will not be satisfied with a thinner non-leather wheel. BTW, to be fair, my wife likes the thinner Z3 wheel.
