I have the sport steering wheel in heated version.
It seems that the heated version of sport steering wheel is marginally thicker than the non-heated version. Anyone ?

This explaines why my friends sport steering wheel is thinner, he hasn?t the heating on his. Not a big difference, but you notice it immediateky when you change between the two cars, that there is a difference.
Is it just me, or is there also a different setup of the AS/servotronic on the 535D, compared to my 545iA? The 535 was built in oct-04. Mine is jan-04.
My steering feels more boosted.

@cidair,
It could have been be caused by other setup parameters or some different software update.
BTW I am still very happy I bought the (heated) sports steering wheel; it is with LOGIC7 and the panarama roof my most valuable option.

My Ride: 2010 E63 AMG -- Palladium Silver/Black.
Love this car but looking to switch things up to keep things fresh. 2nd AMG in a row, but toying with coming back into the BMW fold!
