Just got my self a great deal on a new M3 steering wheel with the colored stitching for only £59 :eek: :cool: Just need the expensive part now the air bag and lower trim.
Really looking forward to getting it fitted :)

Is there a fitting guide/tips to fit the steering wheel into my 1998 E46 saloon
Also anyone know if my car has electronic throttle im hoping it does so i can have cruse control :cool:

EBay special didnt think the guy was going to send it because it went for so cheep £59 think he was gutted took him almost month and half to send only after calling him twice :rolleyes:
He even said the steering wheel cost him alot of money "Oh did it:D "

Looks like you've got a cracking bargain. Can't believe I missed that auction as I've been looking for an M3 steering wheel for a while!

For a round airbag, try FAB breakers or this fella..I've bought a couple of things from him in the past.

Top work mate, I think that will be my next mod. I remember seeing that one on ebay, I was going to bid, but just got a feeling it would be hassle, glad you got it in the end.

Great price mate, cant wait to see it fitted.
The cruise control would be a bonus, i want to get the same done to mines as i have the old style with the triangle airbag.
