Flat Bottom Steering Wheel

I've been searching the forum but couldn't really find an answer.

Is there any flat bottom steering wheel for the F80 platform that similar to the shape of the performance flat bottom steering for the F20/30 and E90? The F80 performance one look like its kinda wider and I really don't like the shape of it.

Considering going full Alcantara or gloss cf on top and bottom and Alcantara sides.

The F30 MPerf wheel is a bit different in shape compared to the F80 MPerf wheel. I'm just looking for something more with this shape I guess.

Yea I looked at what you guys offered but I'm not too big of a fan of the deep grooves at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions. Is there anything you guys have in stock without those grooves?

Are you talking about the different between Luxury/Sport line and M-Sport?

The image you've pictured is of an F30 with either Sport line or Luxury line which has different multifunction controls and airbag, hence you're looking at a different M Perf wheel.

Standard F80 wheel is exactly the same as F30 M Sport, and identical to the one I had in my F20 LCI M Sport, and thus all interchangeable.

Yea I'm talking about the shape of the M Performance Alcantara wheels. I prefer the flat bottom shape of the F30 MPerf Alcantara wheel over the F80 MPerf Alcantara

I’ve run flat bottoms on my E92 and the F80. The F80 wheel is from Zen carbon fiber.

I hate all the "flat bottom" steering wheels that BMW offers for the F-Chassis. They are not true flat bottom wheels.

The purpose of flat bottom steering wheels is to aid in ingress and egress. All the "flat" wheels for the F-Chassis (aftermarket included) are actually larger in it's perimeter than the stock wheels — it's absolutely stupid.
