Z4M Steering Wheel

[K66HAD]

Hi Folks

Can a new steering wheel still be purchased or are there any services that can recondition the original steering wheel?

Thanks

This company is popular on the forum for refurb. I've used them for a non M wheel, they did an excellent job

Depends what needs refurb'ing though? If it's the spokes/wheel controls, you can buy a new one and sell on your old. Think they are around £450 new with all the bits (bar airbag) and £150-200 for your old to non-m owners.

I used Royal steering wheels to recover my old z3 steering wheel and they did a great job.
For my Z4M the leather was fine, but the black plastic/rubber was worn and I fixed this using a 3M black matt vinyl wrap, which I think looks and feels better than new and cost ~£10 and about 1-2 hours to apply (carefully).

Thanks guys to go down a replacement route is a BMW dealership the best option?

I managed to buy a brand new one a year ago somewhere on german ebay for ca 450euro but that was luck. The new ones I've seen lately seem to have the official BMW tag of around 800euro.

(Even the leather was worn out on mine)

Better off to have them painted, old chap.

To be honest, I've looked into numerous routes and the only truly OEM way is a new wheel. But at £250 (if I sell my old one) it's quite a pill to swallow for the half an hour of driving I do a weekend!!

Why is having them professionally painted a satin black out of the question? Sure they won't be rubbery but they'll look just fine and be more hard wearing?

Not OEM buddy, which I'm a stickler for.

pretty certain there will be someone that can put an oem like coating on them
