What is the correct diameter for an M-tech 2 steering wheel when fitted to an E30 M3?

My M3 has a 370mm O/D and the M-tech 2 wheel on my 325i touring is also 370mm but the ones on ebay etc are 380mm.

Are the 370mm ones the most desirable and where do the 380mm ones come from?

Is there a price difference between the two sizes?

Confused

As far as I'm aware, all Tech-2 E30 wheels are 370mm. There was a choice of 385mm or 370mm on the Tech-1.

E34 5 series Tech-2 wheels are 385mm, so it may be these that are in the Bay.

Are E36 wheels the large 385mm?

No, the E36 Tech-2 wheel is 370mm - it won't fit an E30 though :cry:
