I was thinking of replacing my steering wheel with the M version or the Heated version of the standard wheel. Is the heated steering wheel thicker than the non? Is it as thick as the M version steering wheel? thanks I have the standard diamond wheel and want a thicker version of the same or if i have to move on to the M. thanks for your input. Brian

I was thinking of replacing my steering wheel with ... the Heated version of the standard wheel.
Who here knows doesn't want to help .
During next days I will come back to my dealer and I will order to those idiots to get diagrams of the E60 to study which parts I need to retrofit the heated steering wheel .
Otherwise I will call BMW Italy saying they aren't enough skilled with the E60 and if they can indicate me a decent dealer (dealers here are scared about complains to the headquarter)
I have the standard diamond wheel
Pls change it

I'll give a 
to the heated steering wheel. I've never had one before, and I love it.
You can have mine when you pry it from my cold dead hands.
