How many have PERFORM Steering Wheel?

Bimmer13 · 11-29-2012, 07:47 PM

I'm just curious. I've seen this steering wheel on many M3's but have yet to see it on a 135i. This is the only thing missing on my 135i and I'm really considering getting it. Pricey but damn it looks great especially at night.

I don't mean to steal thread, but has anyone tried any other replacements that work with DCT? It seems like the OEM ones don't support the paddle shifts unless you buy the most expensive one with the electronic readout.

I drove a 135is today and the leather wrapping on the wheel is pretty slippery IMO to do any "aggressive" driving.

So not many 135i's have the steering wheel? Guess that's why I couldn't find one for sale when i was looking.

Go on the E9x page and they usually have some

What info does the wheel display on the little screen? It would be cool if it showed different things because the way I sit and the way the wheel is positioned, I can't see my blinkers and other things on my dash without looking under/over the wheel.

You can adjust the height of your steering wheel and/or your seat so all instrument gauges are visible.

I know what you mean about the stock wheel being a bit slippery. I have the BMW performance Non-Electric wheel and it remedied all of the slip. The wheel has a lot more grip and also has a flat bottom. They have DCT versions.
