Steering wheel.

[scott7]

BMW have agreed to give me a new steering wheel foc on a good will, as long as i pay to have it fitted, not sure what the cost of that will be but it goes in to the garage tomorrow so will find out then, worth trying if you fancy a free new steering wheel though.

When I had a Maserati I had one replaced at the main dealer and it cost £40..Can not imagine it beeing much more than that..after all Maserati/Ferrari in Cardiff use to charge £130 an hour.

That wheel looks exactly like mine did before I cleaned it

Seriously - get a wire brush and shampoo then clean it and comb it gently it with the brush to get the alcantara back looking new again.

Nice one Scott, good work mate. I tried your dealer 3 years ago for a new steering wheel and I was told they'd have to have the warranty guy have a look at it. Ended up getting one no bother from HB in Glasgow. It lasted about 20K before I bought another one off Ebay for £250 and sold mine on for £280 By the time I paid the ebay fees, I was neither up nor down.

Funny, I was thinking just the other day I hadn't seen you around the forum for a wee while. Spacers are on BTW, giving the front end that wee bit more meaner look, cheers.

Got the new wheel fitted, had to pay £52 for the fitting, it feels much softer than the wheel that was on and obviously looks brand new, not a bad result considering the cost of a new wheel from BMW.

Thats a real result Scott....who did you shag to get that.....my dealer told me to sod off.

Try another dealer Andy, its been proven they don't all give the same level of service, its not up to the dealer to decide if you get a goodwill, its down to BMW but you need a dealer to ask for you obviously.

Would do but no warrenty so would imagine I would not stand a chance.

Ive got no warranty on mine either, its not a warranty item, you would be better asking when it goes in for a service as apparently if the car has not been in a garage and a goodwill is requested it will be turned down, something to do with BMW being able to see that its been in and connected to the system, just what i was told when i asked about it originally.
