Nice! Where did you get the glossy carbon fiber trim? I've been looking to replace mine, but I don't like the dry look.

Do you already have pallets at the wheel?

hi wheel fitted fine today. but should the middle spoke be see thru as it seems like it needs a different solid back panel to the wheel?

[leeadam]

see this stock pic it shows a see through spoke, my original back panel is sold. So that means ill have to buy new one. Did you change yours

It is a little bigger and thicker, better visibility of the meter

ah ok i thought it felt thicker than the 235 wheel.

[XutvJet]

It's the same wheel in thickness and diameter. The only difference is the division in the lower spoke area.

[david51]

The M3 steering wheel is larger but less thick than the Msport

[leeadam]

mmm was bugging me.....so to clear up lots of questions, the M steering wheel with split spoke from M3/4/2 (all the same exact wheel, i checked with bmw parts) .

TO CONFIRM - the wheel on my car now is off a 2017 M4. It is NOT bigger in overall diameter than the standard M235 wheel if anything when i place together as per my pics and line up perfect all sides the M4 wheel i have on now is in fact a TINY bit smaller than the old m235 one. (the shiny wheel is my old m235 one) and then i thought well i may as well measure thickness with tape measure, and to be honest, its the same. My new M4 wheel maybe a mm thicker, this could be down to it being brand new. So M4/3/2 wheel slightly smaller in diameter and thickness negligible. Hope that helps.

[leeadam]

in that last pic the matt colour wheel is the M4 wheel, the left one the old m235 wheel.

Thanks for comparing the steering wheels.
