M sport Steering Wheel

Would anyone consider changing the original Z4 steering wheel to the M Sport steering wheel? This photo from the Detroit auto show suggests that the wheel can be heated as well. Those of us with the Cold Weather Pkg. won't miss out on the warmth.

I like the fatter steering wheel. I wouldn't add any other 'M' products.

No I like the wheel from the 35i better. This one is too black.

Seriously, this has been my favorite new feature over my last car. Now if I can get a heated stick shift...

I probably won't go for this upgrade, but you never know. Have they announced any pricing yet for the M-Sport products/package?

My interior is black, with aluminum trim. So the original wheel with the aluminum trim matches it perfectly. I like the way the original looks with the rest of the interior...

The M sport wheel is thicker but the original one seems thick enough.
I would like to see a wooden steering wheel instead.
There were some wooden ones available by BMW in the past, but now no more.
The wood feels cool in summer time and won't absorb your sweat, easy to clean and provide a good gripping feel.
