F34 Sport Line Steering Wheel
I have had my Sport Line F34 for a week now and I love it. I just have 1 question... on both my build sheet and my online production order it states the sport line gets an M steering wheel. This is my 4th BMW 335 vehicle and the thinnest steering wheel of any BMW I have ever owned. Anybody else noticed this? I miss the thickness of the steering wheel in my '08, '10, & '11.
I will say the car seems to just get to 60 very effortlessly. The all wheel drive and Dynamic Handling feel great. L

Sport steering wheel vs M sport steering wheel
I believe the only "line" to get the fantastic looking and thick, smooth leather M sport steering wheel is the M sport line. I bought the then current M steering wheel on my sport package E90 from parts and had it replace the one that originally came. I was lucky because I found out BMW makes 2 airbags: one for sport wheels and one for regular so mine fit! HOWEVER, I believe the F34 sport wheel has the REGULAR airbag, so get the great M sport wheel you not only have to buy the M wheel but also the smaller M sport airbag. In my situation, I was able to sell the original wheel- but didn't get a lot from it.
Has anyone else dealt with this issue on the F30-4 series? |

The sport line also has the black coated exhaust pipes and the m-sport does not. I cant wait for the M-sport kit to go on sale. I really just want the front nose piece and side skirts to be m-sport.

Luxury Line has M Wheel
I pick up my 328xi GT Luxury Line at the Welt next Wednesday. All the paperwork says it has the M Wheel as part of the Luxury Line.

But let me guess. It doesn't, right?

Congratulations
Very exciting! I've done European Delivery before, although that was before the Welt was built and it was a thrilling experience! Within 15 minutes of taking delivery, I was at 105 mph on the autobahn. (Probably not recommended for new engines but I was carried away!) If possible, will you post some picture of your baby's "birth" and tell us about where you went.
Remember, "ausfart" means "exit" and not gas (the human kind)! |

Open Case
You refer to an "open case" regarding the M sport steering wheel. Can you share details about this please. I would love to get the M sport steering wheel on a luxury line. Please keep us posted as developments occur.

wat
Somebody on the line in Dingolfing is drinking in the employee lounge Personally I don't mind if the car has the regular wheel even if the sport line says it comes with an M wheel. Would be nice to own a non-M without ///Marketing stickers all over it, it's excessive on my M3 and it's an M car |
