Like Pjinca stated, the steering wheels are the same 2008-2010. You just need to get the bottom trim. Its available on Ebay:

This year also included an ///M steering wheel. Mechanical bits are all identical 2008-2010.
M Sport Package (2010) is not the same as Sport Package ( 2008, 2009 )

2008, 2009 has

P7MPA SPORTPAKET Sports package

2010 has

P337A M SPORTPAKET M Sports package

its the same as to say 2002 540i has M sport where the only true M Sport was for one year - 2003 540i

Well, with the 2010 you do get a plethora of "M" badges on the door sills and steering wheel. But hey, if that makes it seem better/faster so be it.
