Ever put the steering wheel from a 95 on an earlier E34?

I'm trying to fit the steering wheel from a 95 onto my 94... the airbag plug is the same but the rest doesn't seem to be an exact fit.

has anyone tried this?

I am trying the same thing with my '95 525i and the air bag connector on the back is an orange plug but the wiring under the steering column is different. I am going to go back to the salvage yard tomorrow and see if I can find a wheel that will fit. My reason for replacing is the noise it makes when turning. Not sure if the steering wheel has to be same year but it looks like it.

should work back to 91, the 90 and older has different splines and is held on with a 22mm nut where the later is a 18mm (if i remember correctly) bolt

the nut is not the issue with mine- the wiring for the air is different so you can't reconnect the air bag (not the connection behind the air bag but the wires that run under the steering column)
