Which E30 has this steering wheel?

[PiperZero]

Hello folks!

Got this from the scrappies, but no clue from which E30 model. Can anyone help?



Not really Mtech1 or 2, so a bit puzzled Fits fine, though, and a big improvement over the standard 4-spoke version...

it's a regular sport's wheel.

You had (at the end 5) 4 choises:

- 4 spoke
- m-tech1
- m-tech2
- sport's wheel

the m-tech1 and m-tech2 came most of the time with more m-tech parts on the car (e.g.: m-tech suspension) The sport's wheel was a cheaper option ;)

Lennerd - you're a right champion! Thank you sir for the info

[Lennerd320i]

Hey i got that steering wheel!

I think its shit!

I want something smaller and cool looking..

[316vinni]

Not keen on that wheel. But its alot better than the 4 spoke

[ad318i]

i like it cos i had the 4 spoke in my other car so i dont mind having the leather one in the touring

[oneblueleg]

I had that on standard 1987 320 Convertible

[dazleeds]

lots of late se models came with that wheel

still dnt know why its called a sport wheel tho

[Geeman]

Could be off an E34 too... that's where mine came from that I slapped into my old convertible that had an 'ageing' sports style wheel...

[pnd]

much better than the thin plastic four spoke I think the best bm supplied wheel was the tech 1 but an aftermarket momo is way better than all of them IMO.

[dobbie82]

My touring had it as an optional extra (had most SE bits) my 320i SE had it as standard. my 318i has the manky 4 spoke.

sold one of those sports wheel on ebay for Ԛ£10.50 couple months back but I have seen them reach Ԛ£40+ when someone stuck an alpina badge on it

[chinchilla]

Abit off topic but the nicest steering wheel ive seen is the one in the audi rs4

[Conan]

They put that in to take your mind off the understear

[Lennerd320i]

lol

[jimmybmw]

actually it came on the 'edition' models. so it's called an 'edition steering wheel'.


greetz.

[Lennerd320i]

no edition for me then

[tomtomiS]

i had that big 3 spoke jobby in my touring and it felt horrible to drive the car with it. i now have a tech 2 wheel in there and car is so much nicer to drive its unreal. adds a nice bit of weight to the steering

lots of late se models came with that wheel

still dnt know why its called a sport wheel tho

i guess its just because its a 3 spoke Daz, carn'tthink of any other reason? i took mine off the other week and swapped it for a tech1 wheel, was suprised to find that the tech1 was the same diameter.

[ric325i]

yeah i got that big steering wheel in the big 5 series i bought. its not bad but i prefer the mtech wheel.

still the smaller the steering wheel the better! so when i get some money (the 5 has left me skint) then its 1 of the mods i have been looking at for a while now.

the one i had on my mini would be fun!

[Lennerd320i]

10" steering wheel or something?

[ric325i]

yeah.
but i dont wanna spend shed loads and most of the wheels you see are chav filth.

guess am not looking in the right place? but i aint been looking too hard cause i dont have cash at the moment.
so time will tell. for now its MOT. joy joy.

[dannosail]

So what type of steering wheel is this:



I had the big wheel on my Touring, thought it wasn't too bad but I want to know which one's the better one to keep?

[iil325i]

looks like a tec 1 to me

[DanThe]

Yep, thats a Tech 1 with the badge missing

Badges are available from the dealers at a cost of approx Ԛ£2

[iil325i]

wow Ԛ£2 brake the bank lol

[DanThe]

I know

No exuses for tatty old badges

[dannosail]

What badge is missing?

[johnono]

and the stripes painted over

i had the sprts or bus wheel on my old 318i long ago

feckin hated it

tech 2 is the only e30 wheel imo. apart from the momo alpinas that is

[PiperZero]

Wow, didn't expect such a blast of responses on that steering wheel! Would love to get/find an original Mtech1 version, but since the scrapyard asked for about 25quid, I said what the heck....

Question for those who had one of these and swapped to the Mtech1 - what were the physical differences? Weight? Diameter? Nicer leather covers?

Had a right laugh trying to press the horn coz got used to the 4-spoke buttons on the old one...
