Greetings all!
Several members have PM'd me with questions about my steering wheel mods, so I thought I would post here to give everyone the info on where I got the add-ons.
I have gone wood (so to speak
) with my interior trim. I have the wood shifter and e-brake handle. Many people have done this. I have extended this to my steering wheel to. Here is a picture:
I ordered the wood inserts from my local BMW dealer. Here are the part numbers I have for the two Poplar wood colors:
Dark Poplar: 32 30 0 397 915
Light Poplar: 32 30 0 406 384
The roundel stickers I bought from Bimmian.com. I ordered the "dark wood" ones, they also have "Light wood," which I am guessing would match the light Poplar wood. Here is a link to the webpage:
http://www.bimmian.com/ROU/60
I had to order a whole set of stickers, as they would not just send the steering wheel ones.
The inserts cost around $200 (I paid in Euro) and you have to remove the airbag to install them. The stickers were $25.
Well, that's the skinny on my steering wheel. I hope this helps!

Thanks guys, I didn't do the install. I had to have the dealer replace the airbag because the BMW emblem was fadding (very odd). Anyway, since they had the airbag off, I had them put them in. I agree, I didn't want to mess with the airbag either.
The wood inserts are only 2 peices, not the upper part.
