Carbon Fibre & Alcantara Steering Wheel

bills_X3MC · 04-17-2022, 11:16 AM

I need this steering wheel insert! Or if mine can be customised
Anybody in the UK stock it? Or who knows anybody that customises steering wheels?

Also I want it to have the M Badge

Based in London. Will come and collect ASAP please let me know if this is possible

I am only aware of the AutoTecknic (which I just ordered and you have a picture of) and OEM BMW Performance one.

Unfortunately with the AutoTecknic you lose the M badge. On the OEM you get an "M Performance" badge (which does not look as good as the M IMO).

Perhaps someone knows of a shop who can customize but I did not find any other brands other than the two mentioned above.

You want something like the trim on the G80 but I believe that is only possible if you swap the airbag as well unless someone can confirm

That is exactly what I am after! Is this your G80? Do you know who modified this? Would appreciate it if you can inform me

It is not mine but a stock photo. From my limited research I believe that was one the only way as I was after this look as well.

It's hard to find. I been speaking to a lot of custom steering wheel makers / designers. Non of them so far have confirmed they can actually do it. Hopefully get some luck soon otherwise I will just keep it as stock

These folks can do pretty much anything…
Might contact them about a custom wheel or trim piece.

This trim will not fit the X3 wheel. The center bottom mounting spoke is different. On an X3 it's a screw. In the 3/M3 it's a clip

I can't speak for the OP, but my guess is the OEM piece does not have the M badge (it has M performance).

I'm assuming this is why the OP does not want it.

If it were an option to have the M badge like the G80 pic posted above I would have gone that route.

ohhh gotcha. yea that doesnt exist.

either get it custom made or get all the OEM pieces from a G8x (complete steering wheel, airbag, trim swap) and pray that it all works afterwards.
