Default TI vs. M3 steering wheel.

I like the look of the roundel in the steering wheel on my ti better than the M3.

Do you guys agree? Or maybe I have a diff stering wheel on the ti and don't know it.

Opinions and biased comments encouraged...

I think he means that fact that our steering wheel has a colored BMW roundel, rather than the plain black one that E36 M3's come equiped with.

Exactly.. the ti looks much better, I thought about switching the ti one to the m3, but the actaull wheel you grab is nicer on my M3.

Do you think I could switch just the 'horn cover'? and leave the wheel?

with the number of horn buttons avail on ebay, i would imagine you can remove/change it (but i haven't tried it).

I have the airbag for that steering wheel. Not needed, since I now have the 3 spoke M-tech style wheel.
