Anyone when the Msport steering wheel will become available
Installing the Msport steering wheel to the 335 was probably one of my favorite mods to the 335. Anyone know when the current Msport steering wheel will be out as an accessory?

I have only seen pics, but it does look thicker (which is what I liked most about the 335's msport steering wheels). I think the leather looks and feels better on the Msport wheel also (if it is anything like the 3 series steering wheel).

The steering wheel is significantly thicker so much so that I really dislike it. I am wondering if that can be optionally deleted from the package. |

Kirby, buy the car and sell the steering wheel to Fedinand...
Seriously though, I have the M Sport and I love the wheel. The cross sectional shape changes from round to ovoid at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions and it really makes it better to hold the wheel in the right spot (10 and 2 is soooo yesterday ) I have enlarged lumps on the Z sports steering wheel, and they are supposed to be for the thumbs to rest on, but I find them more comfortable for my (admittedly large) hands to rest on. This leads me to using a 10 and 2 driving position instead of the 3 and 9 needed to operate the DCT buttons.

The M steering wheel is indeed much thicker than the sport wheel. Thicker than the X5 M wheel even. But the leather is extremely soft and the padding in the wheel is great, allowing you to really grip it. It's like having a Tempurpedic steering wheel.... I love it!

We love it.
Best handling and performing 4wd we have ever driven. Even my 7yo has asked if we can keep it for his whole life.
