    Default Leather steering wheel change

    After getting a leather, steering wheel off ebay, just tried to install it and bugger, it wont do! Same spine, 16mm bolt instead of what I expected a 22mm nut, but also the centre is very much different. I am very much interested in abtaining a wheel to suit Aust 12/94 525i.

    My next adventure will be to install keyless entry kit, also from ebay.
    Regards

    My 1995 has a 16mm bolt, not sure why they are different. Is the wheel you got off Ebay very nice? I may be interested

    Let us know how the keyless entry works, I have been watching those as well as my remotes are looking a little tired and they cost too much to replace.
