    Initial thought was the badge from the wheels, trim off the back pieces with a dremel and it should fit!

    Has a horn pad you can press in an emergency without the buttons popping out, auto lights and full control with the audio buttons easily assimilated into aftermarket stereo with functioning blue tooth / phone. In and out adjustability and just a great wheel to twirl and hold. But you are probably right, a lot of work for very little LOL

    That's far more than just the steering wheel.

    Comment from AWM2020.COM:

    Unfortunately its not a direct fit, the mechanics is fairly simple but a lot of work is need on the electrics side.Please subscribe as I intend to do a full video the next time we fit one.

    As far as the horn button popping out, snap the tabs off, and cut a small piece of rubber from an old thong, that goes down the centre of the spring. Glue each end, problem solved. Held together on mine for 10 years.

    Aw I dunno. Does the car change direction when said wheel is turned in either direction? YES? Job done.

    True, but I still like it! The wheel is not terrible and has good width, but there are better steering wheels out there which are even more comfortable and satisfying. I would say the BMW one is one of those.

    The cruise buttons I really do like in the standard D2 and I use cruise all the time, and I mean, alll the time, very easy and intuitive. Having an Alpine unit in the car which I have to reach across and use two pathetic buttons for audio output is frustrating but the audio buttons on the standard D2 on the standard system were awful anyway - now they are just floppy plastic extensions only.
