steering wheel fittings

Post Wed Apr 05, 2006 8:21 am

Owing to adverse comments (which I agreed with) i am flogging my old wood steeing wheel (bought an mtech 2 suede) on ebay. it fitted my cab ok but a buyer wants to know if it will fit a E34 520i -93, with airbag...can anyone help

wasn't any of my comments was it

!!!

as for your question yes i think an early E34 will accept a E30 wheel (its an E36 that will not interchange), the wheel diameter is different so it will feel small on an E34

of course he will have no airbag, but his last moments (should he have a bad accident) will be one of beautiful immitation wood comin at his noggin!!!

eye its been pi55in down for last two days, these are the 2 days of rain we get a year!! we have forcast it will rain again on 15 Feb 2007, just after lunch!!

just had a thought, if he had an airbag then your wheel may not fit, i know the older E34's can be changed with E30 but not all, maybe its the airbag ones that are not compatible.

and let him know to be careful when removing an airbag wheel, he must disconnect the battery and leave the car for at least half hour - hour so that all the capacitors etc can discharge before he removes the steering wheel, otherwise it may go off as he removes it.
