M Performance V2 vs CS steering wheel

Spiff7 · 02-01-2019, 10:28 AM

For those of you that have experience with both style steering wheels, which do you prefer and why?

I'm considering either V1 or CS, but I can give you an argument against V2. The V2 one is partially leather, and if it's soft leather (likely is) like the stock steering wheel, if you have a wedding ring it might scratch it up like mine did. Albiet i'm in europe and we wear them on our right hands here...

I'll be receiving my CS wheel next week from BMWPartsPros. I can post up some pictures before I install it. I intend on doing the carbon trim surround and replacing the paddle shifters with carbon ones as well.

The theme on my car is far from blue anything so the V2 wasn't really an option and many vendors have said the red variants have a weak die that'll quickly fade to pink.

Correct, the cs stripe doesn’t fade. But the V2 wheel feels more like a race car wheel, more unique

Does anyone know what the electronic wheel is like in terms of thickness compared to the CS or V2 wheel?
