Treated myself to a new steering wheel at the end of last year only just got round to fitting it :o:

It feels superb!! Its the closest Im ever going to get to how it felt to drive a E30 back in the day. Thought I would share :D

great upgrade, I had M-tech 1 with new leather fitted on, and I felt OK with it, but one day a friend of mine give me for try his E34 with M-tech II. Abnormal difference at start :cool: , driving is much more pleasure and car looks newer.
So, a week later I sold my tech 1, and bought awesome tech II. Happy like child winkeye :cool:

shazE30 it is brand new I bought it from the main dealer. I originally bought just the rim, was going to fit my horn from my previous Mtech II but it didnt do it justice so i bought a new one of them too. cro320 its not an upgrade already had one but after the mileage the car has covered and me palming the steering wheel alot it was just a bit shagged out. Wouldnt have thought a steering wheel would make me smile so much!! :D

I've seen a few new tech II steering wheels on ebay for about 160.00 (from Germany still boxed). I hum'd and har'd about it but now i'll have to get one.

I priced one up at my local stealers and they are the same price as the normal leather wheel! I was quoted 180+ vat complete (inc horn)
