    Mtech Steering Wheel

    Hello all,

    I have a 1991 BMW 325I with a four spoke airbag steering wheel. I bought an Mtech steering wheel and swapped it but it does not fit.
    I need help please.

    Thank you

    No e30s, again :(
    you got an mtech to a non airbag e30 or are the splines not compatible? if its the splines, you got mtech steering wheel from an e24 or an e28 and it won't fit. if its from an earlier non airbag e30 than you have to change your indicator and wiper stalks
    No e30s again.

    There's also that white plastic tab that needs to be removed. You can see it in this photo, directly to the right of the screwdriver:



    It will catch on the M-tech as you turn the wheel.

    Don't forget you need a spacer to fit a non-airbag wheel to an airbag bar.

    Also, only early E28 wheels have different splines than E30s. I'm using a later E28 MT1 wheel on my E30.
    Interested in vintage cars? Ever thought about racing one?

    The steering wheel I bought came off of a 1989 325IS.
    The steering wheel fits but has a small play and it rubs when I turn the wheel.
    Thanks for your responses and would appreciate more guidance!

    Is the spacer missing? You can out a large flat washer behind the steering wheel.
