The M-style Alcantara steering wheel for BMW F Series gives you the feel and look of an M2, M3 or M4 in your daily 1 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series or X. It is an aftermarket accessory that mounts on the original steering column and reuses your steering wheel airbag. DRX Parts is not affiliated with BMW; the M designation is used solely to describe the style.

What makes this steering wheel special

• Alcantara grips: 9 and 3 o'clock areas in Alcantara, the material used on competition steering wheels. Soft feel and secure grip even with sweaty hands
• Smooth nappa leather on the top and bottom sections of the rim, more resistant to wear in the turning areas
• Blue 12 o'clock marker: band on the top of the rim to know the position of the wheels at all times, like in a race car
• Tricolor M stitching in light blue, dark blue and red on all the rim seams
• Sport flat-bottom: flattened bottom part that leaves more legroom and makes it easier to get in and out of the car
• Thick rim with thumb rests for a natural grip at 9 and 3
• Multifunction controls and paddles included: buttons with chrome trim for radio, phone, volume and cruise control, and paddles to operate the automatic transmission without letting go of the steering wheel
• Bottom radio with brushed aluminum insert, with the aesthetics of the M versions
• Physical stock in Valencia: orders confirmed before 18:00 from Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day
• 3-year legal warranty and 14 days to return it if it has not been installed

Why Alcantara and leather?

The combination of Alcantara and leather is used on the steering wheels of the sportiest versions due to their properties:

• Superior grip at the 9 and 3 o'clock areas, even with wet hands
• Warm feel in winter and cool in summer compared to full leather
• Leather in the areas of most friction (top and bottom), which withstands daily use better
• Easy maintenance with a soft brush and a specific cleaner

About the finishes

The tricolor M stitching and the blue 12 o'clock marker are hand-sewn onto the rim. The steering wheel comes with the multifunction controls and paddles already mounted, ready to transfer your original airbag.

Tools required

• Torx and socket wrench set
• Small flat screwdriver (to release the airbag)
