Hi All,

I have a 2007 530i non-sport, the leather on my steering wheel is kind of worn and I've been wanting to replace my steering wheel. Do you guys know if the following will fit my car? First pic is the one I want to buy, other pics are my current steering wheel and airbag. It looks a little different that my current steering wheel.

Thanks,
Philip

I believe its the same. I just changed my sport steering wheel with an alcatara model off ebay. I think it came out of the middle east. I just had to release and remove the air back, pull off the old steering wheel, and install the new, and put the air bag back. Easy job.

Nice wheel! where did you get it?

You need to have the seller send you a picture of the back of the replacement steering wheel. The "triangle" airbag was standard from 2004-2007, but BMW changed the mounting mechanism in September, 2005.

I had a guy in Bulgaria refurbish a steering wheel for me. I asked him to increase the padding and use the three-color stitching from the "M" steering wheels.

Here are some photos of the finished product:

It cost $255 (including the shipping), which is a whole lot cheaper than buying a "M" or "Sports" wheel and airbag. I just swapped over the controls and airbag from my old wheel. Once of these days I'll clean-up the old wheel and sell it on eBay to recover some of the cost.
