Custom Alcantara Steering wheel - expensive- worth it?

Hi guys-

I've got a 2022 M3 Comp Xdrive. It was a lot car I bought last October. GREAT car. My fourth M3. (E46, E92, F80, G80)

One of the options was the Driving Assistance Package (DAP). I really like this option. Works amazing on the freeway and even some long two-lane roads. Nice option.

I've always been a fan of Alcantara steering wheels from my Porsche days. Wanted one for this car, but couldn't find one that supported the DAP. Then I did find a company that supports that option. It's about twice the price of the IND. But, it's full Alcantara and came with a custom carbon and Alcantara trim piece. To keep that option functional, I really didn't have a choice so I ordered one. You can choose whatever color you want for the center 12 o'clock strip. I just went with M blue.

It was a long wait as I found out after ordering the company that builds these is in the Ukraine. It took about 4 months, but I'm super happy with it. Besides the full customization, it's got a great shape with more contours and a bit of a flat bottom. Great in the hands. Goes great with the Alcantara armrest.

Anyway, if your car has the DAP and you really want an Alcantara wheel, this company is the way to go. Let me know if you want a link. They do excellent work.

Here are some photos.
thanks,
alec
