Hello everybody!

I have recently got my hands on my first BMW, a 1989 325i se, anyway i am trying to bring this car back to it former glory. So on my first to the BMW dealer to get replacement fittings, screws etc... the parts man gave me a print out of the original spec of my beloved 3 and appears that the m-tec steering wheel has been replaced for a standard one :-x . well this got me thinking about replacing it for the original m-tec wheel, when it crossed my mind about fitting an E36 or E46 m-tec wheel.
is this possible? and how difficult is it?

any info would be appreciated, thanks for your time.

E36 or an E46 wheels don't fit the E30, I do beleive an E34 wheel fits though, there's always some for sale on here or e-bay, looking at about Ԛ£30 for an M-tech I or about Ԛ£80-Ԛ£100...even more on e-bay for an M-tech II.
