98 e36 carbon fiber steering wheel info?
 

Will this wheel off of a 1998 E36 3 Series fit onto my 96 318Ti and swap my air bag over? Looks basically the same.

It should fit

THX Looks about the same, know which model this one came on?

I was thinking about getting the leather parts covered in Black Alacantra suade or whatever however you spell that, and Blue/Red stitching to boost the M theme on this car, I plan on getting Black Vaders from A M3 with the M color stripes and want to restitch the seams myself in red/blue combo also.

looks aftermarket to me, unless it's a rare BMW Individual part

The guy said it was off of his 1998 i guess ill see in person if it looks authentic how can i tell any stampings on the steel on the inside?

So I went and bought it!

TiFreak what can you tell me about this steering wheel?

It looks like OEM and has all the BMW markings,
BMW Individual parts huh?

Looks pretty stock except the carbon fiber parts and it does say E46, could it be from a E46 bmw?

Anybody?

doesn't look like a wheel from an E46, I'm stumped

I am stumped also?!?!
I have been searching online to find pictures or other BMW's with this steering wheel.
Anybody got one like this also? I would like to know which beemer these came or were options on.

That is an aftermarket wheel, no BMW's came with that as an option. I do remember seeing this on some after market website as part of a carbon fiber interior kit for e-36 (not the Ti), not sure if it was BMP design, Bekkers Import, Turner... One of those for sure. If it came off of an e-36 it will fit the Ti no problem.

Thanks Yoda, I wonder if I can find more info on who and where it was made.
Looks like a OEM wheel with the stampings ect, A stock wheel taken and modified?
It does feel like a OEM part but true, I could not find this wheel in any of the BMW catalogs.
I guess I will be one of the cool guys with a CF wheel, I like having a rare part.
I plan on going CF in my interior and exterior so this will start my CF theme on this car.
I am starting a CF thread!
