i just bought myself a 2007 530i with 25k miles and bmw ultimate warranty package

i have seen a couple of 530i's but my steering wheel is different as it came with a silver metallic border

can anybody recognize the steering wheel and tell me if this steering wheel comes with any custom package?

i have attached some pictures for reference

Sweet ride. Loving the contrast between the white exterior and the highgloss shadowline wing mirror housing, a,b and c pillars.

Looks like you have an SE with the m-tech kit and MV2 alloys. Some SE indicators:
[1] Steering Wheel with the silver trim.
> The Sport wheel has the thumb contours towards the top sides of the wheel and is thicker with m-detail on the lower vertical trim.
[2] Looks like your seats are non-sport as I can not see the thigh support extensions that pop out.
[3] Chrome upper window trims including the Hofmeister kink.

Good job keeping her clean!

That steering wheel comes with the sport package but than again you don't have shadowline trims or 20-way adjustable seats to say that you have the sport package... I think that the previous owner installed the sport steering but am not sure. and you have aftermarket front and rear mtech bumpers and the mv2 wheels

That ride looks super clean, some tints might make it look a little better.
