New toy fresh off the boat from England arrived today!!!

UdubBadger · 01-06-2009, 04:24 PM

I have been waiting to get this mod since the day I got my car last December and just over a year later I found an AMAZING deal so I took it.

MSport Wheel, multifunction buttons, M trim and airbag+bracket- ALL BRAND NEW!

I had to have it shipped from London from the guy who sells um but even with the HORRIBLE conversion rate and international shipping it was still cheaper than ANYTHING I have seen being sold in the states... even used ones. I ended up paying $710 US at the end of it all and I think its worth every penny since I didn't have the ZSP package put on my car from the dealer

(even though I should have).

Anyway, PM me if anyone wants info on where to get the same deal.

Also... is there a DIY guide to retrofit this or should I be taking it to a shop?

Nice find ... Interior is next on my to do list!

UdubBadger · 01-06-2009, 04:34 PM

I might have to wait for install until I get that replacement bulb from you so I can take everything over to the shop at once... that way they'll cut me a deal.

nice!

jerrybajwa · 01-06-2009, 04:59 PM

wooww it looks very nice but it is a steep price

UdubBadger · 01-06-2009, 07:19 PM

true but for the deal I got and not having zsp it's well worth it to me... The non zsp wheel is fugly IMO

UdubBadger · 01-07-2009, 01:36 AM

got it all installed tonight, it took some work but I have to say its SOOOOOOOO much better than the non zsp wheel.

I'll get some before/after pix up tomorrow night after some snowboarding

actually that's an awesome deal considering the airbag and necessary bracket...

That's a killer deal. I have a ZSP 330i with an M3 wheel, and today am driving a non-ZSP 328xi loaner. After months with my M3 wheel the non-ZSP wheel is the WORST. I feel like I'm driving the 1980 Buick Century I had in high school. Jumping directly from a non-ZSP wheel to an M-Sport wheel is a huge upgrade.

AV9 · 01-07-2009, 01:53 PM

cool

TiAg335i · 01-07-2009, 01:56 PM

Must look great but at $710, objectively speaking, that's pretty pricey.

JJANG1 · 01-07-2009, 01:57 PM

What is ZSP??

Not with the airbag included. You are entitled to your opinion as to whether the entire upgrade is worthwhile (IMO it is), but empirically this is a great price for what he got.

old wheel

New wheel installed

Compairson

Pic is a little blurry but you can see a bit more of the thickness here

while the new wheel is a bit thicker it looks like the old one was a bit larger as in diameter... my knees usually hit the bottom upon entry. I love this new one though... too bad my track down button doesn't work now. oh well
