Does anyone know if the E85/86 M steering wheel section you hold in your hands is the same thickness/circumference as the other E85/E86 models? I want to order cover material. Seller has not responded to my question. Looking at realoem they may be, but not sure.

The M-sport steering wheel is quite a lot bigger/thicker than the standard steering wheel.

@Usel, I really appreciate you taking the time to do this post! This should save me a lot of wasted effort and money! Much appreciated!

If you are going to leave original cover on and buy a cover from aliexpress or ebay to go over the top then I would advise against it. You can actually buy one, they don't show a finished example in the photos, but I have seen one done and it doesn't look good. It ends up being way to thick and chunky.
You really need to find a company that removes the current leather cover and makes a new one to replace it. In the UK it's around £200 to have that done.

TBH I wouldn't want to fit a cover over an M-Sport wheel - it's fat enough already!
Most people seem to use Royal Steering Wheels who will do a custom fit to your specification, so plain leather, perforated, Alcantara, etc. Over £200 IIRC but I've only ever read positive feedback. If/when I need mine done I'd ask for the rim to be a bit thinner.

Nice
Are they gold alloys?!!?? Wow 
Not today as such but last Friday and Saturday, I had my car detailed and ceramic coated. I’m really happy with the results, it doesn’t look too bad for an 18 year old car.

Now you’re not gonna want to get it dirty.
Thank you. That is the age old problem!
