Disconnect the battery (so as not to discharge the airbag), undo two star bolts at the rear of the wheel to remove airbag, undo 16mm nut holding wheel to colum. 5min work
Had a quote from a person in london to retrim wheel in alcantara with 3 colour stitching was around 350 pounds a tad expensive i think, must be someone out there who can do it but was told its very difficult t do and it has to look very good when finished
I had an AMG steering wheel trimmed in leather a while ago by a firm called Tappers in Birmingham...........Nice job and £120 as I remember, might be worth contacting if you're serious about a re-trim of the oem wheel.
My wife still has the car if you want to see their work.
Finally found myself a steering wheel I like. Its a M-Tech 2 double trimmed in alcantara so its nice and thick and has the tri colour stitching all the way round. Feels great and makes the world of difference.
Hi Sean. How did you get round the slip ring differences when you used the M Tech 2 wheel on your MC? Did you have to swap out the MC column switches for early e36 switches?

the slip ring is the same on the E36 and the Z3, depending on single or dual airbags fitted (afaik).
