Are you going to get the M Performance Steering Wheel?

Meanie · 08-22-2014, 12:24 PM

Curious to see what peoples thinking is, I am considering dropping heated steering and getting the non electronic M performance steering wheel.

nsxpowered · 09-05-2014, 08:58 AM

What's the electronic steering wheel going for? $1,300 range?

Not yet, still waiting...

I personally did not go for the electronic steering wheel as I speced the HUD, I think it would be overkill. The non electronic I think will add so much flare to the interior of the M3/4. I also ordered from EAS/IND the alcantara brake boot in tri stitching to add a bit more alcantara to blend in.

I literally cannot wait! As the parts start arriving so I will put up some pics.

Can you post pics of steering wheel options?

tom @ eas · 09-05-2014, 05:33 PM

I'll spring for the non-electronic version (alcantara, flat bottom).

Awron already provides all the data needed on a fixed display, rather than trying to stay focused on a steering wheel.

As soon as it arrives I will post pics. Hoping for early next week.

WVUDrJay · 09-05-2014, 08:01 PM

I want it but it's expensive and agree HUD makes it somewhat redundant.

Meanie · 09-05-2014, 08:12 PM

I remember having this pic from the M performance release saved, here is the electronic steering wheel and also based on the release, it looks identical to the M5/6 M performance wheel.

Enjoy...

JL M3 · 09-05-2014, 08:48 PM

I saw the m performance car with all the goodies and the steering wheel stood out the most. It's a most have for me.

Anyone know how much dealers charge for install?

I've not seen a flat bottom version for this car, do you have a link and pic?

Does the blue stripe alcantara version have tricolor stitching and gloss carbon trim? Hard to tell.

The non electronic wheel does come tri stitched and carbon gloss trimmed.

Here is a pic of the flat bottom, quite an old version, I prefer the MPSW2.

Meanie · 09-06-2014, 11:07 AM

Forgot to attach the image hehe...

consolidated · 09-06-2014, 08:16 PM

^^had a version of that in my E90. But for a F8X M can't see anyone going backwards, was expecting a new version from the post.

thebigcheese · 09-09-2014, 09:05 AM

I would've gotten it if it was leather.

MischiMischi · 09-11-2014, 04:43 AM

are you sure, that it will be flat?

As far as I know the image you posted is the correct wheel.

WHITEUNDERARM · 09-11-2014, 06:22 AM

What I would rather have is my Leather Steering wheel with the carbon fibre trim...

Mandi90TT · 09-11-2014, 06:38 AM

I like the flat bottomed one, would go with that, but otherwise, will probably not get one, and if I did, it will certainly not be the electronic gauge version. As someone else mentioned, trying to read info from a moving steering wheel is......not good.

For my gauges, I will get either the Awron, or the P3 boost gauge.

Sir Loin · 09-11-2014, 10:11 AM

For me I am keeping my current steering wheel. I have HUD and I also want the heated steering wheel feature for winters that the performance steering wheel does have.

As far as I know heated steering does not work with the M performance steering wheel.
