98 e36 carbon fiber steering wheel fit ?

[yoda]

If you go to turnermotorsport.com and look at their (e36) interior carbon fiber stuff you'll find the other parts of the kit this wheel was part of. I can't find the the wheel itself, but it was sold by Bekker Imports and Turner, the latter still has the other parts...but you would have to do a "dash-swap" (e36 sedan dash) to have them installed on the Ti. They are quite pricey as well...The kit itself was very expensive back in the day.
And to answer the question....YES these were modified OEM wheels.

Thank you so much for helping me with the info about this wheel, so it seems this part is discontinued and pretty rare?
This piece was probably worth the most out of the whole kit, considering the center console bezel is running $717 bux!
This wheel might be worth over $1000 new??

I think the whole kit was in the realm of $1500+/- when it was sold in the late 90's, which it was and still is quite a bit considering it's a visual interior upgrade (accents)... it was the wheel, center console (g/shift surround), glove box trim, and ashtrays.

Wow!
So would you consider this a sweet find?
I wonder who would buy this kit? and probably not many of them were sold so this part is pretty rare then.
I am happy I found this steering wheel in Craigslist for a steal!

I noticed all the carbon fiber parts on that page were made for the lightweight M3's and had red fibers also this wheel does not have red fibers in the weave.

That thing looks sick, good luck with the interior upgrading.

I was wondering will the any of the ash trays fit out 318ti centers?

Thanks MikeTi

I will be wrapping some of my own interior starting with the Roof liner and A pillars.

Someone just offered me $250 for it shipped, Too bad I am not selling it just yet.

that looks like an E46 stamp... if so, not sure it'll fit.

Yoda says it came from a Kit that was made for E36 in the late 90's.
The guy I bought it from said it came off of his 1998 328is.
Also the date stamp is 1998 even before the E46 came out right. probably just part of the part number.
I have yet to install it but it is exactly the same size as stock, well it is a stock steering wheel and I do not think E46's came with this type wheel so it confuses me a little but it should fit right in.

BTW you ride looks & sounds sweet in your sig.

I should be preparing for my s56 swap but the stock steering wheel is just to worn and sweat melted the leather from the previous owner. I just end up buying a lot of parts and nick nacks like this which end up piling up until I install everything at once.
Still waiting on my OEM M3 front bumper and under tray and few other parts before installing. Covering my Roof-liner and A pillars with dry 2K Carbon Fabric
without any epoxy for a nice dry look.
