More than likely they have bases for each.
If you want to double check, get your part number or look up the M part number and to to www.realoem.com .
Search that number and it should list cross compatibility.

Also, there are places that will rewrap your wheel.
Yeah I thought of that but I tried to go through with the transaction and it never gave me the option to choose between chassis. I am also aware that this company could be wrong/shady. I am just looking for someone to tell me it's a good ide to purchase that cheap and new steering wheel


part numbers are different but that could be because as others have mentioned in other threads, the 3 series/4 series use a wheel that is smaller in diameter, which I would not mind, since I think that would mean a slightly (of at all noticeable) steering feel. I can't find concrete info in this topic, as far a lci goes.

I thought about a wrapped wheel, but there are may things that I am not sold on, like the finish being sub-part (at least from some posts I've seen), the fact that someone mentioned heated feature doesn't work as well, possibly because heat is being dissipated through a larger area, and the fact that I'd probably have to ship it somewhere.


seems like I am at a loss and I'll have to bite the bullet and pay $800 for a new steering wheel.
