Differences between steering wheels?

Le Chef · 05-08-2011, 10:04 PM

I know the standard wheel is a little thin but what's the difference between the M wheel and the SAP wheel? Both have paddles and both appear to have grips at 10 and 2. Is there any difference other than the M badge?

Great question...I will be interested to see what the responses are. I haven't seen either in person yet, but they look very similar in photos.

- The Sports wheel has a little chrome border at the bottom of it and the M wheels doesn't
- The sport wheel is in a more basic leather, the M wheel is in a softer leather, feels like some nice womans legs :-)

One of the best descriptions I've read on XBimmers. Where do I get myself an M wheel?!!?!?

Freshly waxed I expect! Or is that the car?

I believe the M-Sport wheel is a little thicker, is made of softer leather and has added rear contours/grip (dash facing).
