I know that the BMW performance steering wheel in alcantera are without heating. Is there a vendor that sells the alcantera version but heated?

Thank you.

Eric,

The answer is hell yeah, Colby Wheel. The wheel that you need is the F80 DCT M Sport Steering Wheel, I paid $278 for mine, to include the blue centering stripe. https://www.cobywheel.com/

This is how it arrives in the mail. Also you need to specify heated or non-heated when ordering via email to them.

Also you'll need to transfer everything over from your old wheel to the new wheel, and send the old wheel back to Colby wheel as the core exchange.

And the best part is you didn't spend $1200 for a M Performance wheel, as Colby Wheel are just as nice in my opinion. Are there better steering wheels out there yes, if your willing to pay their asking price. Colby is by far the cheapest option available, and their quality is really good. Just remember to buy some Sonnax Upholstery and Alcantara Cleaner, to maintain the cleanliness of your wheel. I do a thorough cleaning every 6 months.

The key to keeping an Alcantara wheel looking good for years to come is keeping your hands clean. Oils, lotion or anything on your hands will get deposited on your wheel, causing the fiber in the Alcantara to get stained and matted. Use Sonnax and a small soft scrub brush to clean it, and get rid of the funk 😁

I don't have the big Al steering wheel BUT I keep fancy ass leather driving gloves in my car. Looks pretty cool when I'm parked too. Also gives you death grip on the wheel.
