Steering Wheels!
Just collected my G31 540i M Sport today and I have noticed it has the SE Steering Wheel not the 3 Spoke M Sport one....I think..
Can anybody confirm if the 2018 has changed? |

Strangely enough I think I prefer it!
When I test drove both a G30 M Sport & G31 M Sport they both had the 3 Spoke design. I found it a bit too chunky in the hands and the Silver trim a bit too much plastic..... But I am missing a M Sport Logo |

What the hell? That has to be an accident or a shortage of stock that they thought you may not notice. It should definitely have the M Sport wheel. I guess if you aren't happy, its easily rectified though.

Funnily enough I changed my mind about what colour to go for when I had originally ordered the car. Somebody in the dealership forgot to cancel the original order so they have another High Spec G31 sat in the showroom when I went to collect mine.....it was my original ordered colour.
Anyway it also had the SE spec wheel. So maybe there is a shortage of M Sport Steering Wheels? I have Steering Wheel Heating and Adaptive Cruise so maybe this is why. |

I am pretty certain Adaptive Cruise & heating works with M Sport steering wheel on G31 as I have it on my F32. |

adaptive certianly compatible with the msport steering wheel.
can you post up a picture? as otehrs have said. If you want the msport steering wheel, then take it up with the dealer, it may simply be a mistake at the factory - as unlikely as that is. If you're happy with the wheel you've got, then fine. |

Easy to tell from the front. EDIT: seems like in the UK they don't have the 'sportline'. Either SE or M-sport. |

Ok guys had 5mins to upload some quick photos for you to see.
As you can see it has M Sport Bumper, M Sport Blue Brakes, M Sport Badges on sides, Trapezoidal Exhausts and............. Hard Suspension So I presume it is an M Sport which I ordered. |

Nope - that's not an M Sport wheel...
I just checked on the photo galleries in these forums, but am unable to upload photos from my phone. Damn - one for the dealer to sort out! I know from previous posts you seriously-spec your cars so I feel for you! Kinda worried about my 530i that's on order, now... |

Interesting. I always wanted the MSport wheel (and have it on my current car) but this one looks very nice. But, of course, I can't tell feel from a picture.

That's clearly wrong as he ordered an M Sport which includes M Sport steering wheel, and didn't receive it.
NSA - put the last 7 digits of your VIN in here http://bimmer.work/ and see if it has "710 - M Leather Steering Wheel - M Lederlenkrad" If it doesn't, then perhaps the dealer messed up. If it does, then the factory messed up because that is not the 710 steering wheel. I checked my VIN (already assembled) and 710 is on there. I asked a Genius to confirm and he said 100% my car has the M Sport steering wheel but that isn't worth much as he can't physically see it |

Is there some way to 'delete' the M-sport steering wheel at order? |

That's the million dollar question! It's not a customer selectable option, like the m sport suspension deletion. Not sure if the dealer has some higher level ability to change these things.
