They both feel great in the hand and are nice wheels with even thickness but id choose no. 2 all day long
RE: which E39 Steering wheel to go for
ya they are both nice to feel alright , but the second pic is a real promo shot compared to the first one , which i thought was biasing my opinion ?
RE: which E39 Steering wheel to go for
no 2 aswell Davy, abit more modern for the e39 also the airbags one the first are a PITA to keep right/fresh.

The latter suits it's surroundings that bit better IMO

Hi, just bear in mind that the first one might be a single stage airbag model, make sure you choose the right dual stage airbag model for your car. Changed in 1999.

E39 sport facelift version (no. 2)all day long for me too.
Re: which E39 Steering wheel to go for
Is it just me, I reckon the first one. The second seems too small, almost lost in the big 5s cockpit. I prefer the first as it seems more at home there.
