Dudes.......
MTech1 steering wheel on an M3..... Should it be a 370mm one, or was there a choice???
Cheers

MTech 1s are all 390mm. MTech IIs for 3 series are 370 (they made an identical 390mm version for the E34 which also fits).
I have a 390 MTechII and am looking for a mint 370.

Read the link and can't see what's to disagree with - I was only talking about wheel diameters. MTech I 390mm. MTech II 370 & 390mm. You could specify these or by them for any E30. Happy to be proved wrong as I'll have learned something!

If you click on the pic of the MTech1 wheel, it gives part numbers for 370mm & 385mm. Go to the pic of the MTech2 and it only lists 370mm.

If you select E34 as car you will see that the M Tech 2 also exists in 385mm, as MONSPORT42 said...

Might have been a choice, the Mtech ones are very hard to find in the 370mm size.

Hi Essbee: As I said earlier - happy to learn something new, thanks! I've never seen an MTechI in the 370mm. I bought my MTechII wheel out of a classified ad in BMW Car. When I got it home I realised it was exactly the same size as my MTech I, i.e. both 385mm. That's when I found out that they made a version for the E34. I seem to be making an S/Wheel collection - I have a four spoke, a three spoke sports and an MTech I inthe garage!!
Anybody planning to buy a S/H wheel - take a tape measure!! As Demlot says, the mark II x 370mm seem to be rare.
