I am pretty sure the actual steering wheel will fit, the issue may be the air bag as it needs to be replace as well.

Wonder if the electronic wheel could wire up some how. I know the E90 335i could.

The Finns rock. Nice job Matias! Whole carbon fibre M performance interior.
There are a few i8s priced low with the brown interior -- not my fav -- so swapping out the brown bits for CF, plus M performance lightweight seats, would be sweet.
