Re: Trying to fit a steering wheel

How can you tell

Is it the fittings on the back that give it away?

Is it from an E34?

Re: Trying to fit a steering wheel

Hi guys

I dont have a problem with getting the old wheel off. The guy from the garage is saying that when you come to fit the new wheel there is no physical way for the wheel to attach to the existing boss.

Can you get a new steering boss to fit the my tourer that will fit to the wheel?

Trying to fit a steering wheel

Help please!

Got myself a leather 3 spoke wheel off an 1989 E30.

I am trying to fit it to my 1992 tourer.

The local garage has said it wont fit. Something to do with the way the steering lock is positioned and the steering boss.

Does anyone know how to fit the wheel.
