steering wheel leather recover

acerboo · 01-15-2011, 02:18 PM

just having the crap worn alcantara replaced with leather on my performance steering wheel. the trimmer said how well made the wheel is and the stitching is 1st class, apart from the alcantara he said he could see why the wheel was so expensive. so many people have complained about the alacantara on the sides yet bmw now have a new version of the wheel with a ridiculous flat bottom and the whole wheel is alcantara!

love every minute of it! used the disco while the snow was about and when i got back in the D it felt like a rocket! only wish the exhaust sounded like an i but cant have it all though 37mpg goes a long way as compensation.

I bet she did feel like a rocket after driving around the disco. HotcoupE had an
exhaust on his first 335d and it sounded the bowlacks
