Steering wheel m-tech 1 vs m-tech 2?

[AndyMack]

Hello,

how much better is a m-tech 2 steering wheel than the m-tech 1? Just the wheel on mine just now is the horrible 4 spoke square thing, but dont really want to pay Ԛ£50+ for a nice wheel for it. Is there any difference in thickness or diameter? What about the momo alpina wheel? or will that just make me look like an arse? lol

when did they change to the m-tech 2's from 1? Mines an 88 325i SE would that have been the right age for m-tech 1 or 2 kit?

87 for tech 1, they were only in production for 12 months iirc?

But out of the tech 1 or tech 2 steering wheel go with the tech 2, it looks and feels so much nicer, the steering wheel was the first thing to go on my tech 1.

tech 2 feels nicer than the tech 1... altho the tech 1 feels alot nicer than the horrid 4 spoke original

[Toby_Unna]

yeah that

i like em both, tech 1 on the m535 and tech 2 on the e30

[mrLEE30]

got a tech 1 on my sport and a tech 2 on my cab, personally i prefer the tech 1, its a slightly bigger diameter and feels a bit thicker, but for looks the tech 2 is better.


there is aslo the three spoke non mtech wheel to consider to.

Tech 1 on a metal bumper and tech 2 on plastic, the way it should be..

Tech I for me, really don't like the look of the tech II.

[jonbuoy]

I've got me an e34 (I think) leather wheel. same diameter as e30 four spoke but thinker and much much much nicer to drive with. I think the orig 4spoke wheels are dangerous almost. A couple of times they've really slipped out of my hands.

[panesar_e30]

tec 2 rules! ive got a tec 1 and looking dor a tec 2, maybe after christmas.

should have the leather horn push for the mtec 2 in the garage somwhere.

Tech-IIs are the daddy, ive had Tech-I, some Alpina 4 spoke and Tech-II but prefered the 'II by far! Almost fell off the road once tho cause i caught my thumb in the grip during an attempted drift! Ouch!

[MISSY30]

I'm always pressing the horn by accident on my Tech 1, I'd like to have a three spoke I think.

Also would agree with this. My '87 sport looks and feels fine with the Mk 1. Don't like the look of the Mk 2 as much after seeing them both together, and in situ.
