Yea, i think the $600 would suffice and with that extra cash get coilovers.

It feels amazing in your hands. I think I would of been happy with the 600 dollar wheel and spent the rest of the money on other upgrades. But it really does look cool all lit up!!

I have the V1 model. I paid $600 shipped from Hunter399. Also he included: suede steering wheel trim, new clock spring ($200 from dealer) and new wiring [because molex is missing on the original wire harness]. I'll take this type of sale all day long.

You know that's the V1 right. This is the V2:



Don't get me wrong, the V1 is cool, but I think the V2 is much more worth the price they ask. It's a very solid wheel.

I did notice that and in all honesty, I think it looks better. Whether it be V1 or V2, just having an electronic BMW performance steering is awesome.

Why do i like V1 more than V2? I do not like how the top of the V2 looks with that big arching plastic shield for the LEDs and read outs. I like that V1 has them divided and outlined in the same material as the steering wheel.

To each his own I guess. Not really the same material, though. The entire top of the wheel is a different material than the rest.

Exactly, we are comparing apples and oranges. When talking about cars and ESPECIALLY CAR MODS(!) its very personal and everyone has their own tastes and preferences.

Prime example, i always argue with my brother about how awesome the Nissan GTR is and all he blabs about is the Aston Martin DBS. Yea they are obviously both sweet but what it boils down to is taste and preference. But of course, the Nissan GTR is better :v) (jewish smiley face).....
