This part is listed by BMW as BMW part number 32342282022 (32-34-2-282-022) and is described as E46 M3 Steering Wheel, Black Leather with Black stitching, which fits All E46 models that have the Round/Circular shaped Sport Airbag. This wheel is for the 6-speed manual models, and not intended for the SMG/paddle shift cars, as it does not have provisions for shift paddles.
Standard Black Stitching
The cost on the once popular M stripe color stitching surged in 2024, making this more common black stitching unit a better buy for the money.
Transform the Look & Feel of your E46
This steering wheel can be used to either replace a ratty, dingy or worn out E46 M3 steering wheel -- or it can be used to significantly upgrade an E46. If your BMW has the round (circular shaped) "Sport" package airbag unit on the steering wheel, you can swap this wheel with your stand "Sport" package steering wheel. The big benefit to this wheel over the standard 325/330 sport package wheel is that the grip area is thicker, and makes a huge difference when you grip the wheel.
There is no other component you touch more in your car than the steering wheel. Give your hands a treat with this Genuine BMW M3 steering wheel, with brand new black leather and a thick wheel rim that feels so much better than the thin non-M3 steering wheel.
