Plastic on M Sport Steering Wheel

I know this is getting a little nit picky but I just can't figure out why BMW put plastic on the back of its current gen M Sport steering wheel. Why the back is not wrapped in leather makes no sense. It's a great steering wheel otherwise, but its a bummer when you grab the spoke and feel plastic on the back end. Definitely a miscue on BMW's part. Would get the back wrapped in a heartbeat if there were something out there

I've never grabbed the spokes so it doesn't make any difference to me, but a local car upholstery shop may be able cover the back with leather for you.

I agree about the plastic, I was just thinking that the other day.
It creaks too... how annoying given that you grab it all the time.

I realized this morning why I don't notice it and never felt it. The paddle shifters are tucked in tight behind the horizontal steering wheel spokes.
