You´d need the different airbag and the other electronics as well. You´d be closer to 700$ in parts plus install.

It´s not a difficult install. Just expensive. But then you´d also get a change to upgrade to the Euro spec M-wheel (even thicker and perforated letaher) and be unique in the US.
Maybe that´d make it worth the $$$

Don't worry about it, if you wanted it bad enough you should have just go the sports pkg. It is worth it for more reasons than just the steering wheel. You opted not to get it so live without it.

In no way does the non sports steering wheel feel too small or too thin...

This is say coming from an E46 car with a sport steering wheel.
