Why do you need driving gloves? Are you overly sweaty?

I think gloves are only needed for alcantara wheels…I use Sparco when driving my Fanatec simulator at home, but that’s an overkill for DD.

In 1998, when I was going through the agony of waiting for my first ordered M3, my then-wife tried to ease the pain by buying several items for me -- an M3 shirt and some M driving gloves. I have no idea if the dealership parts departments still have something like driving gloves. Here's what they looked liked in 1998... The side that grips the wheel is leather -- perforated on the fingers -- and the back is fabric with leather strips. The BMW roundel and ///M stripes are nice finishing touches. I don't think I've ever worn them; I don't wear gloves to drive.

Sorry for not including the link. I'd buy the one with exposed fingertips just to make sure I can use the touchscreen. Sure there are touchscreen friendly gloves but from what I read from the reviews it's not always working.

I think gloves are great.
I like sheepskin or leather with a fur interior, personally. I saw some cool one on Amazon, not sure the quality. BR and RL have nice leather winter gloves which I enjoy driving with, but obviously only use them in winter.

I do prefer driving with a glove.
I don’t think there is any benefit to it beyond, me liking the tactile feel. I have pretty dry palms and hands but even still after holding the wheel for awhile some perspiration forms and I enjoy a gloved hand.

In the summer I don’t wear em as much.
I think that a bike glove might be good too. I have never tried it, but I can see myself liking my fox bike gloves while driving.

And, I can also see other people laughing at me while wearing them.

I do not drive my M without gloves. I prefer to limit the transfer of oil and dirt from my hands.

A friend of mine bought me a pair of M Driving Gloves recently, they look pretty much identical to the ones you have. They feel pretty good! I only use them for my spirited driving sessions. They might be useful for this coming cold season too.

Get actual "high professional" gloves, for example - https://competitionmotorsport.com/co...-racing-gloves

They comfortable and won't have any weird seams or stitches.

I use one for track days just coz my wife gifted Sparco for my birthday couple of years back. Since I have been wearing it for all track days, I sougta like it now.

Below is the link to what I have, not sure whether it's any good compared to whatever are the best out there.

When I hear people trying to make fun of "why do you need gloves" comments, it just says how big of noobs they are and don't actually drive their ///M cars hard enough to even realize why you would actually NEED the gloves. 😂😂😂 There's absolutely no way that you could drive hard enough to get adrenaline going for any decent amount of time and not have sweaty hands. I don't give 2 shits that it's bad for the leather either, Alcantara in my case. It makes the steering wheel slippery and that's just dangerous, period. I have a leather pair for "spirited" driving in the glove box and actual racing pair for the track.

My hands don't get sweaty on DD nor spirited drives. The only time I use gloves is for track days cuz all the tracks are in hot ass climates and you need to drive with the window down
.

Now if you're wearing gloves to look cool that's a whole other story

Not to mention those of us who don't have heated steering wheels. My M3 CS was not heated and had alcantara, so even when I wasn't on the track, I used some gloves in the winter to keep my hands warm. In summer, I'm fine on the street, but track driving, I'm definitely using my gloves.

Sparco Tides for track:




For winter, I don't have "driving" gloves, I just use my daily gloves that keep my hands warm. HEAD Sensatec gloves provide warmth and grip, and maintains capacitive touch for smartphones etc. It's cheap and it works.

Corinthian Leather!

I used driving gloves for my Porsche 911 GTS that came with an Alcantara covered steering wheel because I didn't want to ruin it with sweaty or dirty hands.
