M-Style steering wheel VS Sport style steering wheel
Is there any difference (except color, M logo and slightly better leather quality) between them?
Does the M-Style steering wheel has thicker rim? |

Here is a link describing some of the differences between the M-style, Sport style, and normal steering wheel.
In addition the differences already mentioned in the thread, if I remember correctly the M steering wheel is all black with the M logo and special stitching. The Sport style is similar but less chunky and has a chrome insert in the center. http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showth...steering+wheel |

Affirmative. The M wheel is much thicker, and softer. Your fingers can sink into it a bit more than the sports wheel, and the regular wheel is very thin feeling.

I have tested Sport wheel on the new 3 series and X6, and M style wheel on the new X3.
M style on X3 was very pleasant to touch, but its rim seemed too thick for my hands, Sport wheel on X6 was very hard, and 3 series Sport wheel seemed a golden mean for me... But how to find out if the Sport wheel on the new 3 series is equal to the X3's Sport wheel? |

It may be market dependent.
Here we get the very thin steering wheel on the 28i and more substantial feeling wheel on the 35i. Then as you've pointed out the M-sport wheel with paddle shifters that is a tad thick (depth wise). We don't get a 'sport' wheel as you've suggested. Quote:
