Steering Wheel

I love the M Sport Steering Wheel, but don't want to pay over $1000 to put it in my car. Has anyone found any cheap alternatives?

If he doesn't have M Sport Package, doesn't he need to buy the air bag too?

I believe M Sport and M Performance wheels have the same air bag?

But going from a standard wheel to M Sport need to switch airbag. I can be wrong but I also know there are a few different kind of M Performance wheels

For example these 2 wheels all fit m235 according to getbmwparts but different airbag

2nd option is much better looking IMO but I have really liked every flat bottom wheel I've ever used. Gotta say I really like the feel of the stock 235 wheel just beefy enough. When I drive the Macan which I believe shares the wheel from one of the GT cars it feels kinda thin by comparison.

I really like the stock M235i wheel also. It feels like an improvement from my M wheel in my 1 series.

Just so you guys know if you don't want to change wheels/airbags, Alex@Helix does custom upholstery for steering wheels and it is just made as good as BMW performance wheels (minus lcd display)

but +1 on the m235i stock steering wheel is just good enough for me. Only reason I would upgrade is for the alcantara material to match alcantara interior
