Been thinking of changeing the steering wheel in my E39 Touring as the one i have is the same size as one used to steer a WW2 aircraft carrier :tounge:
so which do ye think would look better on this interior

so these are the options
Original E39 M-Sport

or
E46/E39 M-Sport

They both feel great in the hand and are nice wheels with even thickness but id choose no. 2 all day long
ya they are both nice to feel alright , but the second pic is a real promo shot compared to the first one , which i thought was biasing my opinion ?
no 2 aswell Davy, abit more modern for the e39 also the airbags one the first are a PITA to keep right/fresh.
:D yep the picture really sells it but I swapped from the older to the newer as its always been one of my favourite wheels iv no regrets I like it a lotQuote:

Newer one.
Hi, just bear in mind that the first one might be a single stage airbag model, make sure you choose the right dual stage airbag model for your car. Changed in 1999.
E39 sport facelift version (no. 2)all day long for me too.
Is it just me, I reckon the first one. The second seems too small, almost lost in the big 5s cockpit. I prefer the first as it seems more at home there.

I think the first one also.
I think the second doesn't look at home at all, and for me the second one actually looks older / cheaper than the first.
My thoughts exactly no1 ftw no2 is plasticky/cheap lookingQuote:

Davy I have a 2 stage wheel with bag like the first picture you posted which you're welcome to try to see if you like it.
Definitely the 2nd option, i'm jealous if only i could fit one like that to my auld car.
No.2 by a country mile. I have a similar non-sport version in my E46 and it's a nice wheel to be behind.
Based on your interior i would go with the first one, no.2 if you had the screen radio, i feel they go hand in hand
No 1 for me, it's a smoother more sculpted look that suits the interior better , the newer one looks like it has an upside down cereal bowel as a center cap. That said both are similar size and a vast improvement over the trucker version
thanks john , srry i missed your post till now.Quote:
