sorry to interrupt here
not to stop you from a cool steering wheel
no offence, just my opinion...
1. steering wheel without airbag are most likely from accident car, structure may damaged without noticeable mark
2. airbags use explosive powder to operate, improper install may cause sudden fire of airbag
3. airbag can't be tested, it can't protect you if it doesn't work in accident
for me, i will only change the safety component with factory parts
happy modding!

Agree with point 2...but point 3, even if ur car is brand new, u cannot test the airbag....u just assume it all works....
With all mods there is risk...

Hard to say about point 1.... Some people just buy the wheel from BMW as upgrade and reason why they dont sell with airbag is because it is illegal to ship via air!

Luckily not white!
God damn this morning's white 335i in lung cheung road. it cut in damn high speed from the left lane to the right lane which i was moving (there are 3 lanes in lung cheung road). the angle of his cut is about 45 degree. I need to do a hard brake.
