i think i hit the horn a bit hard the other day cos i jumped in to the car this morn and ive just noticed the mini badge on the centre of the steering wheel is bent

is it possibly to replace this i.e is it just glued on and all you do is buy a new one or is it a case of new steering wheel?????

p.s its a 3 spoke wheel on a r56 mcs if that helps???????

not sure about the logo itself but worse case scenario would be the unit - the wheel is separate. That would be costly as it includes the air bag as well as the horn press etc.

moral of this story is don't beat your horn too hard or too regularly

As you can see here, the unit comes as one.... RealOEM.COM * BMW R53 Cooper S AIRBAG SPORTS STEERING WHEEL

There is no separate part number for the badge alone.
