Standard has silver trim. Less padding/thickness. M-sport is thicker and matte black trim with an "M" logo on the bottom spoke. Finally M steering wheels have tri-color stitching and Nappa leather. Maybe they are all Nappa. I'm not 100% sure though.

MSport Steering wheel question for the ‘doer-uppers’…
Both the M and M-sport use nappa leather, as do most modern BMW steering wheels (since roughly 2000).BavarianZHP wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 7:15 pmStandard has silver trim. Less padding/thickness.

The standard steering wheel might actually be fake leather, I’m not entirely sure. While cleaning it up thoroughly I never got it quite to the same level of softness and smoothness you’d expect from the real deal. Anyone know more about this?
Four Alfa's and a Ducati later, I've turned to the dark side...

On my particular 53 plate 3.0i vin decoder I have,
S255A sports leather steering wheel.
Which if you look at pre facelift 3.0 options list photo seems to be standard fitment.
Not so on later models non 3.0 l which you pay extra for.Msport wheel is standard on sport si models.
As far as I can see.
