BMW Performance Alcantara Steering wheel

Just finished the install on this beauty! I always hate working on the steering wheel because removing that airbag is like staring down the barrel of a gun! Got it all buttoned up and it looks & feels great!

Looks great but I believe it can't be heated?
In that case, "I'm out"

Thanks! Yeah I live in SoCal, there was no need for that heated steering wheel option

This thing looks good! Was it a hard install?

Thanks!! It wasn't too bad. the hard part was moving everything over from one wheel to the other, it just comes as the frame with no internals or housing. Once everything was all buttoned up on the wheel it's just one bolt torqued to 46lbs and popping the airbag back in place. I got it from Morris-town BMW so it was brand new from the dealer, and at a great price!
