CSL Steering Wheels

[McSwerve II]

As the wheel on my E46 M3 seems huge in diameter, has anyone replaced with the nice CSL item.

If so is it much (£300’ish) better?

Thanks

They're the same size.

You can buy CSL wheels cheap off ebay that are bobbling, then use some 1200 grit wet and dry to bring them up like new.

Is the CSL wheel not the same size as the M3 wheel? I thought it was?

I enquired about one myself from BMW; it comes complete with the central section and paddles but minus the airbag and is upwards of £800 if memory serves. Suffice it to say, I didn't purchase.

Google about for a CSL style wheel that retains the normal M3 buttons ..... What has the OP come fromthat makes the M3 wheel feel big? It's a nice wheel IMO .... Good thing you never tried a Carrera Porsche! Bus drivers find it hard to reach that wide!

Tis what I thought too. As good as they look, they aint worth that, plus I don't think it would look right without something else to match it, like the handbrake for example, ala CS.

The Z4M wheel is smaller, no idea if it fits though.
