Where can I buy this steering wheel cover from?

My OEM parts guy (booster) says this part isnt in the bmw system. I also have yet to see a member with this cover either, only the one without the indention around the ///M emblem. I cant find it on ebay either.

This is the same cover shown in the e92 m3 shots, so i imagine it will be available eventually, but is it available anywhere now?

btw I did a search for "steering wheel cover" and couldnt find anything about it. I dont know what other terms to search for

Already available. Go on Ebay and search for the seller "Qalbeli" He sells them. Just purchased from him the same steering wheel you have pictured. Didn't get the "M" cover though.

thats who i got the wheel from, and he doesnt sell the cover. He only sells the cover with a complete wheel+airbag setup.

yup, same style as the M coupe, but supposedly it is just a hair thinner (i havent seen this one in person yet...but i have felt the M coupe wheel and i LOVE it)

Non of these part numbers are available yet, that's why you can't find them. We did a thorough research and could not find them. In all honesty, I don't know how that guys gets those parts, but they are sweet. We have that steering wheel on the company car.

awesome, very easy install. should take you less than 20 minutes. (be careful in reassembly with the little scre, if you tighten it too much the car will honk all the time.

Yea I asked my parts guy (booster) if he could get the cover for me about a month ago, and he said the part wasnt even in the bmw system. I figured that since Qalebi (the ebay member selling them) could get a hold of them, then maybe there could be a grey market way to go about getting one.

this one, trust me. I havent mounted mine yet, but its on my desk, and just feeling it makes me happy
Stop by a bmw dealer and check out the M coupe...AFAIK this is the same wheel thats in the M coupe, but for e9x.

got mine for just over $300 on eBay. I was quoted $490 IIRC from bmw, and that was with a hookup. These prices are for the wheel only. The ebay member selling the wheel also sells the cover, but not separately...you must buy the wheel, cover, airbag, and mounting bracket...which really jack th e price up...and I just dont feel like wasting that kind of money for an extra airbag.

Yes a new steering wheel. I'm reusing the cover. I want the clean look and I don;t want the ///M emblem.

wheel costs $255

there are now different prices because now we have the paddle shifter on some.
so double check part # when you buy.
