Alcantara Steering Wheel - New 2009 2010 BMW Z4

Cupholders · 01-23-2013, 03:39 AM

Wanted to get the M steering wheel for the E89 but it was wayyy to expensive. Decided to go for a re-wrap. Went for alcantara followed by the yellow stitchings to match the interior. Actually turned out pretty decent.. Kinda looks like the F30 M performance steering wheel.

Not entirely sure about the yellow line at the top but I do like the overall look with alcantara and yellow stitching, it really suits the interior you have. Nice work.

nice indeed, where/how did you do it. Also i fear doing this as wont sweat from holding the wheel or natural oil from your hands seep into the cloth?

Wow... This was really nice

Really blends into your nice interior. I done a custom alcantara steering wheel to my old E85 and loved it. I had to use BMW gloves to not wear the steering wheel down then....
