Royal Steering wheels

Yeah that was after a lot of cleaning. Not even Dr leather wipes could do anything for it.

I went down to Royal Steering wheels one Sunday morning and he fitted it there and then. Took about 30 minutes in total to fit. Really glad I did. The old wheel let the whole car down IMO so really happy with the result.

How much the was it (parts & labour)?

I had mine done a few months back but forgot to post pictures. Massive change from the worn original. I went for added padding, smooth and perforated with red stitching to match the seats. Well worth the money (which is a bargain in my eyes).

Oh wow!! Those pics have just made up my mind! Perforated it is then! I wonder what a beige stitch would look like to match my seats?

For anybody considering a retrim, as an alternative to Royals I decided to try out these http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Ihr-Leder-Lenkrad-Meister?_trksid=p2047675.l2568 from Germany.

They do an exchange service in the event that you don't want to lose the use of your car, which is the option I chose. They send you a retrimmed version of your exact steering wheel, once you receive it you send your old one back to them. They take a deposit which is returned to you upon receipt of your old wheel.

Mine is a retrimmed M-Sport wheel for the E85. They didn't have it as an option on the website so I emailed them and they duly obliged. I thought I'd leave this here because I'm very pleased with the results, nice and chunky, more pronounced thumb wrests, comfortable and well made. They do a 'Tuning' option which applies a similar theme to the bottom half too, although unfortunately they couldn't offer it for my M-Sport wheel. It's just something a bit different to what Royals offer, and another option for anybody who might be interested.

It was £135 for the wheel and £15 fitting. Bargain I’m sure you would agree.

Definitely. It's on my list to get done now!

I had mine re-trimmed by Royal Steering wheels a couple of weeks ago.

I spotted an M2 at the dealer and decided I wanted the same wheel in my Z4 so had them do the smooth leather on top and bottom, perforated on sides and had the tri-colour stitching. Also went for the extra padding option so it's the same thickness as the M wheels.

They did a great job, I'm tempted to do the same to my 3 series too.

How much did that all cost, if you don't mind me asking?

Mine cost £145 since I removed the wheel and sent it to them. I only use my Z4 on the weekend so it wasn't an issue.

you can always use a pair of mole grips clamped on the steering shaft while your wheels away
