Are you sure about that? I thought that all CLAR vehicles used a 5x112 bolt pattern while most other older BMWs used 5x120.

What does a Tire/Wheel have to do with a Steering Wheel?

The F90 M5 Steering Wheel will NOT fit on the F10 M5 due to size issue.

The F90 M5 will work on the F30, F80, G20 etc and the future G80.

The two cars are clearly at different stages of G20->G80 bodywork evolution.

Ahhh

MYBOYBLU3 · 08-01-2019, 10:11 PM

Who the hell takes a half a*s picture of the pedals and not the manual shifter...........or the whole interior.......these cars wouldn't be out there in the public without someone watching over them so people don't take pictures very closely.......

So I also agree that flat bottom wheels are gimmicky. However, the RS4 steering wheel just looks awesome.

Just look at the perforated leather and that beautiful sculpting. I appreciate the tastefully thin looking spokes as opposed to the chunky spokes on the BMW M wheel. It's more like the previous M3 steering wheel really.

I personally think it would be perfect if it was round, but I'd rather have the RS4 steering wheel over the current M steering wheel.

This one is nice too:

Cool looking wheel, now if only we could change the rest of the car that surrounds it.

I don't like that wheel very much.

As I stated, replace it with a current F8x Steering Wheel. Plenty for sale in the Classifieds. And a new G80 Steering Wheel would bring top dollar.

Excellent point. I would definitely do that. I would keep the alcantara wheel currently in my ///M4.

I feel you'd lose the heated steering wheel function, though (if that's of importance to you at all). The F90/G80 wheel has the heated wheel button below the airbag on the 6 o'clock post where the F8x has the heated wheel button on the column behind the wheel.

oduli81 · 08-02-2019, 07:42 AM

You are next to an m3, fully wrapped to hide the lines and grill.. it appears no one is around you, why wouldn't you just rip the damn front bumper cover and snap a photo.. what's the worst that can happen!

infamousq · 08-02-2019, 08:20 AM

Why didn't you take a pic of the shifter? Was it covered?

Seems they are working overtime to smooth ruffled feathers?

Hahahaha, wait till they show the big 🦷 grill. Then they will surely regret it! Book on it! No fake news here

These interiors are heavily camo'd and they always cover the shifters with cloth when parked. The OP was very smart to shoot for the pedals!

I lost it anyway when I removed the OEM leather wheel and installed the alcantara wheel.

I was coming on here to comment about that as well. How can the next gen be less sporty than the outgoing model? HUGE step backward.

mbanck · 08-02-2019, 01:16 PM

It's the same steering wheel as in the M8, no?

Aaaaaaaaa · 08-02-2019, 02:35 PM

Is it the same steering wheel as the X3M?

MFNATIK · 08-02-2019, 02:50 PM

man, I wish you had taken close up pics of the front grills! We could probably have confirmed if they're going with those tombstone style grills
