YouTubers and chunky M steering wheels
Discussion
Oh boy, am I getting bored with them all on the same schtick about chunky M steering wheels.
Metcalfe and Achilles are repeat offenders.
Personally I love the small diameter, chunky rim of a typical M car from the last 15 years or so.
Far more ergonomic and comfortable for extended periods at the wheel, and having a thicker rim means I can spread the contact patch between my fingers and the surface of the wheel over a larger area, and at the same time reduce finger grip pressure and achieve a more sensitive "feel" for actual tyre grip changes.
Why they have to go on about it so much is beyond me.
Give me a chunky M-car steering wheel over a spindly Porsche wheel any day.
I would be far more annoyed by the truly awful graphics of the main digital display on all M cars now.
Whoever signed off these displays should be booted out.

You’ll find all race and competition wheels are thin rimmed, done for feel and feedback. The thicker the rim the less finesse you have over the control. That’s likely why they’re criticising the chunky rims. Good for road use, rubbish for pure driver feedback. Metcalfe and Achilles are repeat offenders.

They go on and on as it generates clicks and views, that’s all YT vids are created for now.
