Limited Group Buy: M-Technic Steering Wheels

[sina]

Edit: 10/10! This got filled. I asked Tainik if he can do 5x more.

I'd be interested if you got 5 more slots. You mentioned he may be interested in an SMG core - I have an SMG wheel in decent shape (60k miles), but would want to buy a manual wheel since I converted. If more slots open up you think you could check if he'd want an SMG core and how much $ that'd be worth?

I'm with ya. The answer is your last line above. I'm just saying as a consumer it makes me nervous clicking BUY/Commit/Lock-in whatever if you aren't providing that additional context.

Updated and added to note.

We're up to 8/10, 2x more and this is a go.

Thats too bad. 9040 doesnt really match the car IMO... it reminds me of somebody with bad jet black black hair dye 🤣

Looks like he has some 9002 products on his ebay page. Either way, this is a great deal and I appreciate you bringing the discount to us!

Agreed, I have 9040 on the E9X but that was the period correct OEM fabric.

He uses a specific multi layered Alcantara for steering wheels and says 9002 isn’t available to fit his sewing machines.

You’re welcome!

Confirmed not possible due to 9002 being too thin for Tainik's sewing machines.

Good point. This I can add to Notes right now! Thanks for helping improve the process

3 options:
Alcantara
Plain Nappa
Perforated Nappa

Unfortunately it’s always a challenge getting the right info out of Dimitri.

He initially said plain leather was never done on E46, than combo was done, than plain was done on E39 2000+, same wheel as an E46 M3 6spd.

As questions are asked, options evolve and I cannot edit listings options once they are launched.

All specs and options will be validated at invoicing. There are no price changes for any of them - that is confirmed.

It is black: 9040. Grey 9002 is not available.

Thanks for confirming - not sure how I didn't spot the posts on page 1.

Is the alcantara grey or black? There isn't an option on the Connex site and based on the pic it looks black.

I appreciate the group buy. To be critical, there always seems to be some info missing or some confusion. I am happy to be a proofreader of drafts in the future. In this GB, its the nappa leather:

Euroconnex description says alcantara or nappa leather perforated. EuroConnex pictures show 3 options of 1) alcantara 2) nappa leather plain or 3) nappa leather perforated

Post #1 says 3 options. Post #6 says SMG wheels are perforated, then says whatever you want.

Go to checkout on EuroConnex and you're just buying nappa leather - who knows which.

I converted my car so I have an SMG wheel that I wouldn't mind returning as a core. Any idea on what that would bring the price to for a manual wheel?

[Epoustouflant]

Does this include our steering wheels as a core

No core needed He’d probably do it for SMG as they are tough to source.

Bummer, thanks for trying. I guess ledermanz is the last option then.
