Thicker Steering Wheel
I'm sure this a huge, expensive issue but I do miss the "thicker" steering wheel that would have come with the Sport package.
Any idea how difficult/expensive this would be ? Yes, I have a heated steering wheel as well.

Are you talking about retrofitting the M-sport package steering wheel? If so, I asked my parts guy and the airbag part number is the same for the Sport and M-sport wheels. This means the steering wheels should be swappable. I'm waiting for someone to actually retrofit it. My days of experimenting with brand new cars are over!

depends on if you have sport package. if yes, it's just a steering swap. if not, new airbag = $$$.
here's link for sport steering without paddle. http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...01&hg=32&fg=35 |

Not an "M"
It's not an M sport... I don't really care about that. But my car has the cold weather package, so it would need to have the heating element

well looks just like my car I was wondering why that e-bay item has thicker wheel+thumbrest but not the m-sport trim piece below the airbag. and that ebay one prolly don't have steering wheel heater, which mean OP's gonna either give that up, or pay about $1600. that's a big ouch. miss the old E90s with $300 steering wheels...

As do I... but along with the expense of the Sport Package, I didn't wan Summer/Low Profile again. Also, couldn't changing the steering wheel void the Warranty ??
