Non Air-Bag Steering Wheel

i've had it for many years in my E30. no problems at all swapping it with the one in the E34. Its a 22mm nut, a washer ... and thats about it.

370mm is the ideal size (as per M Tech I wheel).

E32 and e34 has a nice large cluster, so small wheels are a problem. If you cannot see the top of the gauges properly, just sit further back and/or reduce the seat angle/rear height.

Also, there is more than one comfortable position behind the wheel for any one body type. Not that a racing position is ideal for daily driving in traffic or going to and from the shops...

If really tall, you have to go for a low seat height and more of a reclined position than most would be used to. However, a lot of people aren't aware of how the seat height adjuster (at the back of the manual seat) works, and just never find the right position and spend all their time pissing and moaning on the forums. I've had to show a lot of people that have owned their cars for years. For that matter, its shocking how many people have no idea about how (or ever even bother) to find the best position behind their own car's wheel. It can take some understanding of the many adjusters as explained in the manual. After all, BMW engineers vary in size like us, so have never allowed their colleagues to make too many mistakes during the design phase, long before the e34 came to fruition.
