E89 Z4 Build Log: Ethanol Power Series, Chapter 3: Sidetracked with a Steering Wheel
I visit the E89 forums every once in a while and happened upon a great deal on an M-Sport steering wheel. My Z4 doesn't have the M-sport package, and thus comes with the base wheel, but I've been slowly adding M-Sport parts as I find them. Well the wheel came and has since been installed and I must say, I'm not sure how I feel about it...
While editing this video I also discovered that E89 Z4 steering wheels are a direct swap and considered an upgrade for E9X BMWs. Who knew!?

I have the standard wheel on my E89 and have been contemplating doing this swap to the M Sport wheel but as you say there isn't really much in it and looking here second hand M Sport wheels are crazy money. I am thinking to get my wheel recovered in the nicer leather and bulk it out to the thickness in between the standard and the M Sport (M Sport Wheels I think are bit too thick). The silver trims around the buttons I was thinking to keep them silver but skin the black trim around the buttons in carbon fiber (will contrast well between thet two). Do you know if you can separate the buttons from the black trim?

I'm not aware that you can remove the buttons from their trim. IMO any change to the steering wheel really doesn't feel needed. There are SO MANY other things I would spend money on before touching the steering wheel. I only ended up doing this because I stumbled upon one for such a great deal I really couldn't say no.
