So we pay $181, we get a new wheel. Once we install it we ship back the old wheel?

Also, how did you get rid of the silver pieces on the center of the wheel?? Looks really good all black.

I have looked for pre 9/05 M-steering wheels but did not want to spend 750 euro's for a wheel with a used airbag. The only thing I wanted was a thicker wheel with nice leather and now I have found a German ebayer that sends a wheel with new leather and asks for a deposit that you get refunded as soon as you send the old wheel back. I wish I had done this earlier

Guys, I got a response from the email from the ebay seller, Piotr, regarding the steering wheel. Piotr asked for my phone # so we could discuss the group buy in more detail, I am waiting for a phone call. Luckily he speaks English as my German is horrendous. I will post more information when I hear from him.
Anyone interested in a group buy for this steering wheel please add your name.
