I was wondering weather I can do leather wrapping on the steering wheel.
I heard some people did it in US.
Does anyone from Vancouver know any leather shop?
Is the price worth it to do this?

[ctgazer]

wouldnt it be cheaper to just buy one?

If you get someone to wrap the wheel for you, I think they charge around $500+.

I drove E89.. not E9x.
If the steering wheel was same, I would have already just bought it from someone else.
If it's more than $500, I don't think it's worth it...

Yea +1 on the 2nd link.

Just bought an Mtec wheel from him. Shipping was fast (less than a wk) and no duties.

Does this fit E89 w/o any retrofitting??
It doesn't look right to me. It probably won't fit to my car.

You could always look into the E89 sdrive35is steering wheel?

It is almost identical thickness compare to non-M wheel.
Just more soft leather and M sign...

if you are looking to wrap your existing wheel, then you wont get the thickness of the m3 wheel...

now im not sure if all z4's have the same sport steering wheel because if not, then you will need the airbag, airbag bracket, buttons, cover, etc in order to make this work much like the ZSP and non-ZSP in the e9x's.

im interested in doing this too. thinkin of going by an upholstery shop to see how much theyd charge but i want a good job not that crappy ebay stuff

Read the OP. It's E89.

This being the e90/e92 forum, i assumed it was for this application.

I guess the only option is custom. There's a shop in Montreal that does custom wrapping in various leather/alcantara specifically for bmw steering wheels but i'm assuming you'd wanna deal local.

Hm.. do you know the name of that shop?
I was looking at US shops

Contact Montreal_Red, he has a custom steering wheel that you're likely inquiring about.
