i saw some pics of the alcantara wheel and it didnt look too healthy and i had a z4 coupe for a day and it had the thick M sport wheel in leather which i loved. & i think the JCW wheel is more or less the same. Also the leather one looks alot better to me now

thanks for the advice

Its funny my mate (Bubblegoose) has a Z4 with M Sport wheel and it was mint.

Its not far off but the JCW is bigger

the wear is not the big factor, i just prefer the look of the leather one now And i wont be getting any other alcantara bits so i though all leather is the way to go

Damo your gonna kill me, i eventually ordered the Alcantara JCW wheel

Got the gear knob and handbrake handle also

Does anybody know what the recommended labour time is to fit the wheel?? I dont want my dealer to rip me off cause its the first one they've done

EDIT: just saw my last post and i had decided to get the leather version.....

I just had the JCW (all leather) steering wheel fitted. And it's immense.

The wheel itself is lovely to hold, the leather is of a far better quality than that on a standard wheel. But the steering just feels so much more direct, I am shocked at the difference it made. I absolutely love it. It's a mod I would definitely recommend.
