- I finally re-wrapped my steering wheel. It cost next to nothing and took a few hours. I'm pleased with the results. Fit isn't perfect, but really not that bad at all considering you can get these for 20-40 dollars on Ebay or Ali-Express. Just search "E46 steering wheel wrap" " E46 steering wheel cover" and browse around. They are made for a wide variety of cars now.
I did this to my TDI Sportwagen. Took an entire afternoon but looks and FEELS GREAT!!
That blue and red looks sharp, BTW.
I did... wow, what a difference. Larger diameter to hold on to, better grip and looks SOOOOOO much better. :)
I really like your new steering wheel mod. I remember it used to look like it was chewed by a porcupine along the bottom edge with some hockey tape on it Haha. Looks clean now, amazing, I bet it feels like a much better place to sit now with that done 👍 keep your vids coming ! My alcantara is still in fair shape but it is all matted and shiny and kinda feels a little sticky...I should clean it up but I am not sure cause I might screw it up lol
+Lycan ZHP yea mine was in rough shape. It just keeps getting stickier. I gave up cleaning it and just did this haha
I have the exact same car as you only red...im only 16 and I love my car a lot...you are helping me with my nodding decisions like you would not believe...keep up the great vids and thank you
Looking at doing this as my steering wheel is crap. Can you remove the OEM cover to install, or does the new wrap need the old to fit properly? Mine is worn completely through at the 12 o'clock position, so I would like to remove the old cover.
Well worth the money. Looks very nice.
Talking 'boot, eh? :) Did you consider taking off the trim pieces to get it to fit better? It just requires removing the airbag, which is pretty easy.
was going to say same thing would of been able to get looking super clean that said great job looks way better.Do more E46 vids.
+computiNATEor laziness. Sheer, utter laziness.
Haha, good excuse! 😂
Looks a lot better nice job. Those tedious jobs are usuall y worth it.
also why is your check engine light on
how did you tuck it under the trim pieces, its already a tight fit from factory
+BarberKid comes with a tool. It's actually pretty easy
E46 Reviews with T.H. yeah i had my kit for like 2 weeks but ive been hesitant to do it yet lol. the space between the trim is already a tight fit idk if i can even fit the tool in between there
Slick dude!
it is a genuine leather or artificial leather?
Never have I subscribed to a channel so quickly
Love the vids,
Just wondered, uk based I have an E46 318ci
Body is in great shape but I know 4 cylinder engines aren't the best so looking at swapping to a 2.5 2.8 or even 3.0 engine and will be doing some similar mods to yourself
For things like flywheel is it worth waiting till the swap or get them done before and will I take advantage of the upgrades on the 4 cylinder block?
Cheers 👍🏻
+Jay Accident if you are going to do a swap, go right to a 330. Don't mess around with the smaller engines. Just did a swap. It's terrible. Haha. And honestly focus on chassis mods. Will make a huge difference in how fun the car is
my check engine light is on too for the same reason and people always ask me why its on hahah
I'd say you really nailed it. Did you use any adhesive to keep it in place once you started sewing?
Just some two sided tape that came with the kit
Thanks. Ordered it yesterday for my e36. I'm stoked!
Do you have the sport steering wheel? If so, where did you order your wrap from? I can't find the wrap for the sport wheel with the M stitching.
Why didn't you choose alcantara to rewrap it?
Alcantara is a terrible material for contact points such as the steering wheel, gear knob, and seats. It wears much, much faster than leather.
Wish I could find somebody just like you for e36
+THEKINGOUWANTIT most of my stuff translates to e36 actually.
E46 Reviews with T.H. Sweet I like watching your videos very informative if you ever have to swap out u joints make a video plz
'Dem legs...
I cannot find anyone who sells these. Any suggestions?
+TVBodybuilding HD just search e46 steering wheel cover leather on eBay
He T.H. thanks for the e46 vids!
this will be a nice budget solution for buying a "new wheel" that i was actually planning to do, so thanks!
one question, did you remove the old leather before rewrapping it? or did you just wrap it over the existing layer?
+uscp2 left it on. It's sized for that
Nice check engine light :) Like every e46 owes to have :p Is the wrap worth it? I was thinking getting one
Take of the controls and tuck In
for 20bucks? No brainer

Also love the video TH, I have the exact same car and I follow a lot of your DIY videos. (clutch delay, cold air intake, coil-overs, and thinking of doing the clutch and diff later on)
The real MVP. Gonna be ordering one of these for my car soon. Thinking of getting a short shifter as well. Think I should get the leather with the red stitching for it?
Andre Pereira i legit ordered mine a few houes ago.
Fat wheels sucks
