Not sure if this has been posted before.
I found this in the new accessories catalogue. Looks like a non M - Sports wheel with ruthenium inserts.
I like it!

Coincidentally, when dropping my car off for service this morning, I sat in a 645i convertible which had the same steering wheel--I liked it a lot.

Ok, guess it is only new in South Africa.
Would I be correct in assuming the ruthenium parts could be fitted to the M Sports wheel?
Anyone know the part numbers?

The picture in post one looks like my wheel, except it's missing two very important paddles for shifting the SMG...
Anyway, check this thread out for some more pics of the different wheels:

I got a price for the Ruthenium piece - roughly US$ 80.
Will try to see if it can be fitted to the MSports wheel without loosing the centre strip where the M Badge is mounted.
