I need the part # for the Alm steering wheel cover

ska///235i · 05-10-2006, 07:10 PM

anyone know the part # for the silver steering wheel cover (the euro version)

RichReg · 05-10-2006, 07:31 PM

This cover is NOT Aluminum.
It is called Titanium, and is made of plastic.

It does match the Stick-shift knob and Aluminum trim (if you have any) quite nicely though, and its a pretty easy install. Cost anywhere between $40-$50....part # is 32306771250.

ska///235i · 05-10-2006, 07:56 PM

Thanks dude...
I know is plastic, but if is really $40-$50...is a nice lil interior mod

RichReg · 05-11-2006, 06:09 PM

I think you should get this one instead!

But knowing BMW, it'll be more than $50.......

It will look wrong if you add it to a car with aluminium, since in real life there is a color difference

Says who?

I installed the Euro-E90 s.w. cover and it looks great.
You can't tell the difference in the color. Of course, I don't have Aluminum trim, I have Poplar but,
the Titanium cover blends in well with the stick-shift & the aluminum pedals.

The E92's cover on the other hand, looks like it IS aluminum, but
I'm not sure.

Edit: Yes, I meant Euro-E90 cover. Duh....

I was reffering to the E90 cover ( maybe you had a typo above ? )

Know a guy here that got one and the difference was very apparent against the Alu trim, so he didnt fit it.
I looked at the part myself and it didnt look nice in his car.

But other peoples opinions may differ

Hmmmm.... that is odd.
I guess the Aluminum trim is substantially different from the plastic then.....
but you wouldn't notice if you look at the shift-knob.

Do the European E90's have Titanium plastic on the dash?

Titanium Colored plastic is standard

Then Aluminium and Wood optional

E90Fleet · 05-11-2006, 07:38 PM

Remember the Aluminium is "brushed" and the plastic one is smooth

Yes, if it came with the steering wheel cover from the factory

Well I'm certainly glad that I went with the Poplar trim & not Aluminum then.
I thought for sure those pictures were Aluminum and that BMW would never put plastic there.......

I don't doubt him either.
From the photos of the Euro cars though, I thought it was
Aluminum trim on the dashboard. It looks like the shift-knob,
the steering wheel & the dash all match.

Solution: Wait for the E92 steering wheel cover. Has to be aluminum.

yea..I thought it'll match perfectly too ... oh well..no $40 mod for me

Soulstar · 05-12-2006, 01:23 AM

Hi, I can also confirm this. The Titanum plastic and the brushed Aluminum differs very much in color and looks. They will not be a good match.

I have alu interior, but I have aso seen cars with the standard titanum
plastic, and IMO it is a big difference.

Now that is nice. Do you have a PN for that?

dencoop · 05-12-2006, 08:39 AM

I got my cover for 70 bucks...but to install you need to remove the steering wheel.....maybe an hour of work.....

Thanks....by the way I have poplar wood.....
