Outstanding! Where did you acquire the custom fitted cover?

paris1 · 07-20-2016, 12:07 PM

WOW; that's an impressive install! Is it on an M wheel or the standard wheel? Reason I ask is 'cause the M wheel on my wife's car is actually too thick for my taste and a cover would make it even more so. BTW: why did you need to do this? Was the OE cover damaged?

This is the standard wheel, but I think you will have no problem to Install on M wheel bcs I was used extra padding to make feel softer and more thicker, at the end of the day its only $28 dollars cover

. btw originally this cover for e90 but with almost no modifications you can fit on e89

BTW here is the link to the store - http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1290...08.0.53.3inLL8

How did you know how to stitch? Sounds like a stupid question but I'm looking and wondering how I'd go about sewing...

dwspen01 · 07-20-2016, 04:20 PM

They have 3 diffent models that fit the e90. Which one fits the e89?

I just tried to order with a Visa but got a message that they don't support that type of payment yet it shows they accept Visa. How is everyone else paying?

good for you, btw they very fast on shipping

jts1981 · 07-28-2016, 04:05 PM

It looks really good. Any chance to get it with the M color stitch?

kosd · 07-28-2016, 09:55 PM

I took a look. When you order you can pick the color of the stitching and they do have the M color...

I ordered with the blue/red stitching just to see what comes back. There is also this one in perforated leather and suede:

Great choice

talhagursoy · 09-18-2016, 06:50 PM

Here is how blue and red stitching looks like. Looks pretty good to me even though I had some problems in bottom part (first time sewing in my life.)

fmorelli · 10-21-2016, 11:24 PM

Ok I'm doing this soon. I'm covering a heated M-sport wheel. I also have some Di-NOC 3M carbon fiber wrap which I plan to cover the plastic trim with.

One question - anyone have a heated steering wheel and can say how the cover affects the heated wheel effectiveness?
