You might well be right buddy.
I have just called and mine was £140!!!
I guess it depends on what your having done?
I asked for black alacantra with a blue center line and blue stitching. No extra padding and on a standard z steering wheel with no function controls.

The quote I got for £130 was for "Z4 2004 (No MF buttons, No Paddles) – Padded, Perforated leather on sides, Smooth top/bottom, Black or M - stitching"[/quote]
Race cars/track cars or drift cars will very often have a line at top dead center on the steering wheel so you know where it is.

Worth a try Marlon.
I cant see alcantara being more expensive than leather?
I went for extra padding, perforated sides with nappa top and bottom and it was £120 plus a tenner postage.
Love it, it's such a lovely thing!

Exchange rate might be hitting his material costs?
Mine came in post today, perforated leather on sides, smooth top/bottom and m sport stitching.
It's looks well smart, Just need to find the time to put it on now and then send them my old wheel to get my deposit back

Extra padding?
God, I'm going mad here looking at these posts to see if I think the extra padding will be too thick :-?
It won't be, honestly - it's not much thicker, just very slightly but enough to make the wheel feel nicer in the hand.
If you're anywhere near the Surrey/Hants border you're welcome to try mine

Thanks for the offer, but up Leicester/Peterborough way.
Think I might just go for it with the extra padding. I seem to remember when I had my 54 plate Mini Cooper that that was pretty thick and it felt great.
He does also do single (1mm) as well as double (2mm) padding.
