Hi All,

I am looking to replace the peeling steering wheel trim with a carbon fiber peice. Autotechnik has a nice one, but its backordered for weeks. Do any vendors here have this e60 M% peice in stock? if so please email me.

Thanks Guys, the ones on ebay are all from the same vendor and on backorder for months. I was able to find this one wrapped in silver CF, it matches the interior silver trim perfectly. Cant wait to install it

I just replaced mine it was simple 5 minutes. All you have to do it pop the air bag cover off (Hole in the back of the wheel, dont unplug it!) and its 6 Hex screws. I ordered a custom OEM wrapped Carbon silver - what do you think?
