2006 530xi Steering Wheel
Does anyone with a 530xi or anyone familiar with the model know which steering wheel will be mounted when ordered with the "sports package"? I know the sport package is basically sport seats and shadowline trim for the "xi" models, however I cant seem to find any info about the wheel. Please help! Thanks!

If you have a pic of the wheel that comes with the 530i sport package/cold weather please post.
Is the steering wheel different for:
530i/530i w/sport package?
530i/530i w/cold weather & sport?
530i sport/530xi sport??*
Now I know BMW does not offer fifty million different configurations of steering wheels for one model range, but from some of the posts I got the impression that if you order cold weather the wheel is thicker. If you order sport, there is different trim. So on and so forth. Can anyone confirm by placing pics of the wheel variations...please? Preferably 530i w/ sport & cold weather.
Thanks so much!

There is the standard steering wheel, the heated satndard steering wheel, the sports steering wheel, the heated sports steering wheel and the M steering wheel.
If a steering wheel is heated it is a little thicker. Also the sports steering wheel is thicker than the regular/standard steering wheel. M steering wheel is about the same size as the sports steering wheel.
If you have SMG you have the sports steering wheel, with M-tech bodykit you have the M steering wheel and AFAIK you get the sports steering wheel with the US sports package too.
The sports steering wheel has a round middle/airbag and its diameter is smaller.

No, US spec sports package is the standard wheel, heated/non-heated depending on presence of cold weather pkg. Only SMG gets round airbag and thumb notches in US.



So will the 530xi have the sport steering wheel or the standard wheel offered on the 530?
