Hi Gang,
I have an opportunity to buy a nice E39 535 steering wheel with the airbag included, but I don't know if it will fit on my 89 635.
Can anyone tell me for sure or have a ling that will give me a yes or no on fitment, I keep looking and some folks say yes, some no but nothing firm.
I'd like to be sure it will fit before I buy it
Thanks for the help.

won't fit without extensive mods.
+1 not a direct swap but doable with modifications.

Thanks Guys, like I say, I have heard both ways but I'm thinking E34 or older is the safest. Any ideas?

If you have an airbag car you might be able to use an e34 wheel... not sure on splines working, but any airbag wheel 99 and back should work if that's the case. I've never tried it myself but I have an e34 wheel I could test it on an airbag e30 I have
Me E30 87/ 325i + F25 12/ M-Sport + E32 94/ 740i
G/F’s E34 92/ 525iT + F48 18/ X1
Thanks E30luv, I do have an airbag car, have one of the "school bus wheels" I don't have the cruise or radio in the wheel, to old but would like to move up. I really don't want to modify anything, I'll stay with what I have if it takes heavy mods. I see a lot of wheels for sale but would like to have something firm on fitment before I lock into anything. Thanks for the info, I have heard that a E34 wheel will fit but I don't know if anyone has done it yet.
Thanks for the help.

Airbag car can use one of the M5 boat wheels with the thumb grips. Airbag/not is irreleveant by just cutting the SRS light.
Cutoff is 1992 or so with the introduction of the E36.
