M performance steering wheel V1 vs V2

bubbie11 · 04-30-2018, 09:47 PM

Deciding between v1 and v2 from bmwproparts, whats everyone opionion

yjypm · 04-30-2018, 10:29 PM

I have the v1 because I didnt like the shape of the v2.
However, when my hands are getting sweaty, i find that i have no where to put my hands on the steering wheel because alcantara will absorb all the sweat.
Therefore i guess v2 might be better for me since i can put my hands on the leather area when they are sweaty, and when my hands are clean and dry i can enjoy the alcantara feel and grip.

I have the v2 with carbon trim. Love the look and feel!!

V2. The beefier grip and different contours feel great. I also like the flat bottom for when I want to get lazy while cruising and just put one hand there.

Does either the V1 or V2 maintain heated steering wheel?

Ditto - v2 is just awesome. I also got a custom one similar to v2 for my second m3 (e46) lol

DG20 · 05-14-2018, 01:40 PM

Are the alcantara inserts on the V2 thicker than the V1?

F80Moe · 05-16-2018, 02:37 PM

V1 here from IND

Absolutely love it

Can't go wrong with either

MasterP · 05-16-2018, 03:27 PM

Too bad there's not a V2 in full leather with factory heating.

SROC3 · 05-16-2018, 03:39 PM

V2. Amazing. Love the shape and also the ergonomics of the wheel. The V1 is constant all around, while the V2 was designed so well that your hands naturally rest on it in the different positions. Very well thought out.
