Hi Mate..If no-one has one then i found this one..It should fit the bolt pattern you have, If you are buying second hand then make sure the wood is not split!!...Ziga

looks a bit flat for a wedge?..I thought they needed to be dished/semi-dished..I know with mine a flat steering wheel would be no good as it would foul the indicator/wiper stalk...Might be different for a 350i although the one dix has at the moment looks semi-dished...Ziga

Dix, like the one Mark found and a good price as well, i've had wooden steering wheels on both tiv's and i like them not just for looks but for driving, personal choice.

Great got the steering wheel today tried to fit it and 5 of the alen bolts go in fine but because the holes in the new wheel are not counter sunk the last bolt has stripped the thread in the boss (or thats what it looks like) any ideas on a quick fix? Longer alen bolts and a small nut on the back?

Regards Dix

Hi Mate..Thats a pisser..On mine the boss has no thread and i have 6 x M4 x 20 bolts with nuts on the back..cheers...Ziga

Jeff, can you counter sink the new wheel yourself, that way giving you a bit more play. If not how about drilling last hole slightly biggar and put new alan screw in it.
Worst case you could leave the 5 bolts which will hold the wheel on and put small drop of silicone on last hole with false head ???.
