I had the same thing done for my st wheel at a leather shop in Miami. I have seen other companies that will recover your st wheel show up on Craigs list. So, it doesnt seem too uncommon. There was a thread in here from an M5 owner, which is where I got mine done. Take off your st wheel, they strip off the old leather, build it up as thick as you want with a synthetic lining and apply a waterproof leather. You can use different leathers, stitching (they asked if I wanted M red/blue color...which I didnt get), etc. Cost is around $300-$400.

Can you provide additional information on who re-did your steering wheel?
All In Leather Corp.
13315 sw 88 avenue
Miami, FL 33176
305.233.0732
If you can find a local shop that does it, it is a great option to shipping your wheel off (which is what started this thread) or going through the process of finding an M wheel, air bag, etc.
