Nice Ride.? Congratulations on the good int/ext colour combination.

I can't help but notice something that is also on on ride (Red Arrow) and mine had another "deformation" (Green Arrow).

Does all airbag cover on every steering wheel on the E60 comes with this deformity?? It sure spoils the otherwise handsome steering!

What deformities? I can't see anything. I also looked in the Gallery and did not see a deformity on those wheels. I have the sport wheel. What am I missing?

I think you won't see it on the sport wheel, only on standard steering wheel.
Probably, ICEMAN is absent for some moment? Do you change your login name ICEMAN?

Your car looks great! This is the first time I see a romanian licensplate.. Looks a bit lik a big belgian licenseplate!!! BTW the other cars surrounding your cars are all 40 years older!!!!!! For romanian standards you must be very, very wealthy!!

I think Iceman is working hard!

That is a temporary licenseplate. But the caracters are the same in the other ones.

Those cars.. are old.. But belive me.. I've seen the 7 series here in Romania before it got on the auto magazines covers. I have a little more money than the average here.. but still modest. In a 500.000 inhabitants city.. in a poor country like Romania.. there are lots of Porsche... Ferrari and even 3 Lamborghini Murcielago. So... There are people reacher than me

I didn't notice the deformation.. till now that you showed me. I will take a loog in the morning too see exactly what's all about.

First off all...
Nice pics - but I can't see the car, the foglights are blinding me...

No, I didn't changed my login name, alohalc is right...
Those deformitys are only on the regular steeringw wheel, not on the sports steering wheel, it is the airbag underneath. Those deformitys are the points that break, when the airbag comes through.

I think Iceman is working hard!
Dennis, I think you are the only one thinking that I am working hard... :winkcool:
