WTB: Clean 4 spoke wheel (pref M3 with stitch) & Shift Knob

eurekaiv · 10-29-2009, 09:27 PM

Looking for a couple parts for my '98 318ti Sport Cali...

First, I could use a new wheel. Would really like the red/blue stitch 4 spoke M3 wheel since it would match the rest of the M trim in the car. I can use my current airbag so no airbag is required, but if you have the M airbag with the M wheel I don't mind buying that as well. Must be CLEAN however. Please, no exccessive leather wear as mine is very worn out on top already.

Also need a shift knob. Would love an illuminated M knob but will gladly take any other nice leather Ti knob from a "sport" model. Again, no excessive wear please.

I'm in SoCal (LA OC area) and if anyone locally has something I have no problem paying cash.

Thanks!!!

I have a wheel just taken off a 74K mile '96, but not an M wheel. It's free, though - just pay for the shipping.

The M 4-spoke uses a different airbag anyway.

It has an airbag.

I know, but I think TIFreak found out that they do not fit or something like that. Maybe the connectors are wrong.

Hmm... I was reading around and it seemed like people were saying there was no difference in any of the wheels post '96. If that's not the case that sorta stinks.

Anyway, PM sent on the '96 wheel.

Here are some pics of the wheel.

I did? I think you have the wrong person since I've never actually had the wheels to try it

Ok maybe I'm crazy... lol. Someone had two wheels and tried to swap them and they didn't have the same connectors or something.

think your thinking of me, if you get a 95+ 4 spoke m3 wheel you need the switch holder, horn button slider, airbag is direct plug-in, horn splice wire into came colored wire, airbag is different though, completely different shape

Ahh... sorry about that. Well there you go!

I have a 97 M3 wheel on my car. My 97 ti airbag will not fit on the wheel without modification of the wiring. The connectors from the wheel to the car are also different as stated by minicoop.

Well, I found a nice clean standard wheel to replace mine (thanks DGW!) so no worries on the M3 fit. I would still like to find a new or nice slightly used shift knob so bump for one of those.
