I just don’t see the flat bottom wheel as a BMW wheels if that makes sense!? I love a flat bottom in an Audi so nothing against them, just think round is nicer.

Can't go wrong with Jack's work! Did something slightly different for my wheel (alcantara/perf.)
From your options I'd go with the simple, stylish retrim. Flat bottoms and thumb mouldings are a bit too bling for a zed imo!E89 Z4 35i / Alpine White Primer / Bits

Freezing in winter, scorching in summer. What's not to like...

Flat Bottom Steering Wheel?
There arent any imho (unless you're so fat that you cant place your legs under it).Dav the wheel nut wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 9:33 pm Never having driven with a flat bottomed steering wheel can someone who has, explain the advantages or otherwise
If you do a lot of mountain roads, with a lot of hairpins (where the steeringwheel has to be turned more than 1/2 turn) it feels very unnatural to let the steeringwheel selfcenter when you're coming out of the hairpin and step on it. When the wheel glides through your hands, the flat spot is imho just a distraction that prevents you to let the wheel slip through your fingers.
I've driven 7 days through the alps (averaging 3 or 4 mountainpasses a day in that period) in an audi with the flat bottom wheel, and it's not for me.
