    I do not, but I have purchased two wheels like these (but without the lower thumbholds) from Dimitri Maar (seller name: tainik), and the quality and workmanship is great. He has a variety of styles, although his prices are a little higher, and it takes a while for them to be shipped (I think he makes them when you order them, as the leather has that 'new' smell when you open the box). I've posted about these before, but here's a picture again:

    Confirming Mike's experience. Same type wheel - it was plug and play with my '97 840Ci. Excellent condition and workmanship in refurbishing it by the seller.

    Definitely a good looking wheel. Buying on Ebay, and paying with Paypal is about as safe as it gets. Go for it. This is waiting to find its way onto my 8.

    Thanks guys. Love the Momo as well, but a little too aggressive for my application. Trying to stay somewhat era appropriate.

    I bought the same wheel from Andri. Happy with the wheel. Took awhile to arrive though, more than a couple months, and his response on Ebay was that the photo of the wheel on his Ebay ad was just a sample of what he could build and all wheels build to order. So, if you're in a hurry, I'd get some confirmation from him that the wheel you purchase is ready to ship.

    Lol. I thought Dimitri was slow, but he only takes a couple of weeks.

    I bought an M3 wheel for my 95 840 from Tainik a number of years ago on Ebay. Perfect fit and still looks great. Very happy.
