LOL! I'm working on ridding myself of my man boobs.

P.S. I bet that glove model is probably hot though. Too bad we can't see her face.

Not snug!?!?! Maybe you need a smaller size. Mine are snug.

I hate dirty steering wheels, so I wear them on my cars.

They also have these non-M driving gloves. Similar to the old-style gloves.



Don't know which to buy.

May I ask the size of your hand & gloves?

I use the XL's because they give my hands a bit more breathing room.

My SA gave me a free pair. They are in my glove box. I wore them for about 2 minutes driving and felt like a complete tool. Now I just use them when its cold outside not for driving lol.

Only reason I have considered it is because I have noticed wear on the steering wheel of my current F30 (F80 on order) where my left hand usually sits. And it's only done 20k miles.

...and that's the main reason why I began wearing them in the first place. When you see enough cars with oil soaked and worn steering wheels, you start to realize how the sweat and oils affect the leather. Gloves also help preserve the alcantara steering wheels.

I think you're meant to wear them on your hands.

I'd heard that gloves are almost required for Alcantara steering wheels if you want to preserve them, although I'm sure mine will be leather.

Might consider some for longer drives - not to the shop and back. But may also invest in some better quality leather cleaner/conditioner and apply that to the steering wheel to keep it in better shape.

Only when I reminisce about the good ole days and put on my parachute pants & members only jacket.

Driving gloves. Kung Fury. And the Hoff. Epic.

[gprgeorge]

That's classic! LOL

[Powaup]

I got them as a gift for my bday couple years ago. They're kinda banged up now... And everybody on the forum makes fun of me for wearing them
They help maintain the leather on the steering wheel though

LMAO my bad i worded that wrong hahaha. I meant to say i wear gloves when i drive my cars or my girlfriend's new 335i. I wear them especially on my e92 with the performance suede steering wheel. Makes a difference man. Suede steering wheel still looks new! So it will allow me to sell it for a good price haha.

True dat. I competed in strongman for 8 years and it's nearly impossible to wear gloves and be strong. You have to sack up, be a man, and let the callouses build up on the hands.

[MFNATIK]

I wear them about 1/2 the time but its bc I just installed my alcantara wheel. But you know what, fuck what anyone thinks. I do as I please. If you don't like it, fuck you too lol

I agree completely where the gym is concerned. Gloves in the gym are for weenies (..just like the bitch pad used around the bar in the squat rack because "people can't deal with the weight on their traps "), and they compromise your grip. Get some chalk/liquid chalk and call it a day.
