My Ride: 2004 BMW 520i E60 in Amethyst Gray
Ya, lets have a meet next Friday (our monthly mini-meet) at Sing Fei & dinner. Will like to see Keith's Scoop then. BTW, I have just been offered a like new M5 sport steering wheel (airbag included) for HK$6,100. Is it worth ? A brand new one from BMW is about HK$11,000. I plan to get one and then re-wrap it with Alcantara leather (similar to the picture attached). Any opinion is appreciated.

Attachment 62678But 6100HKD still a very reasonable price!! Go for it mate!! 1000times better than the stock!
But i would ask for a lower price as you know people need cash these days
And told him your friend just bought one for 5000HKD (Haha...me)Hope my scoop will arrive b4 friday then you can get the steering wheel and i can get mine done at SF.

Not so sure about the re-trim though, cos the original M5 steering wheel are pretty good (don't forget the coloured M stitching)
Do you wanna change the shade aswell like you shown in the pic?

Thanks for your advice. Maybe I should get the wheel on hand first and see how it feel. I really like the style of the re-wrap and I know that they can put the M stitching back on. Hmm... still have time to think about it.

The one that I was offered does not has the light up paddle shift, so maybe not a 100% M5 steering wheel. But for $6K, is it still worth ?
Where do you know that can do the leather re-wrap in HK ?

$6K is worth it but make shore that it fit your car cos 2006 on wards cars have diffrent steering wheels.
