I've got a plastic-rim '02 steering wheel - pretty rough shape; lots of cracks etc. Ian (Ontario, Canada): pringle_5@sympatico.ca

Hi

What year is your 2002 just to see what wheel-model year option?

I have a decent shape three-spoke '02 wheel (7.5/10) that would be correct for a 68-73 2002.

Send me an email (above) and I will send you photos/etc (out of town currently).

it is a 1976 bmw 2002. i am having problems with the horn because the 320i and the 2002 have different setups (they reversed the horn setup, so the horn isnt functional).

Let me know if intrested I can e-mail photos

Thanks,

That's what I used on my '74. I had to dremel out the plastic button that used to hold in the 320 ring to make the '02 button fit in it. I had to puncture through the rubber on the inside of the hub (below the emblem) to solder the wires together and I had to shim the wheel about 1/8 inch. Works like a charm and looks "stock-ish".

The 320i wheel is a little bit smaller in diameter than the '02 wheel and the rim is a little bit thicker for a better feel.

whoa, impressive! i didnt think of that so i just figured out how to make a carbon brushing to touch the ring on the wheel since that was the one thing missing between the 2002 wheel and the 320i wheel. thankfully it works!

Thanks!

I don't know if you had the stock '02 wheel to compare the 320 wheel to, but the 320 wheel feels a lot better than the larger, skinny rimmed '02 wheel.

Glad you figured it out.
