I agree if you did place the order on the uk web site then you could not complain, but i am fairly sure if you go to a main dealer in person, they will do the build with you and tell yoiu if it has the correct steering wheel or not, if they say the site is wrong and it will have the correct steering wheel and it turns up as per the web site, the dealer would have to retrofit the correct steering wheel, so just a simple trip to the dealer where you want to buy, it am fairly confident that its just a web page issue.

I heard that there’s a shortage of M Sport steering wheels, so they are saving them for the M3/4 cars and fitting SE steering wheels to all other models.

But on the config when I looked this morning the m sport has the correct wheel but not the m models, it’s probably just a web site mess up to be totally honest, and like I said just walk into a dealer and ask, if you order one and you get it in writing that it will have the correct steering wheel then they will have to sort it, the dealer would be able to speak to bmw and ask if it’s a glitch or in fact it’s true they have run out of those steering wheels(I somehow don’t think they have though but I guess only BMW can say.

A dealer will tell you what you want to hear in order to get a sale.

Exactly, the config (web browser version) was showing the correct wheel yesterday, and still shows it today.

If BMW amend the spec post order, you will be told. Furthermore, if you are unsure before order, just get the dealer to confirm that its coming with the M Sport wheel.

Well, that was kind of my point also. I note that the new S5 has a hexagonal wheel and thought it was BMW following suit.

You mean like they were told about the data being removed from the USB sockets? How they were told about the light being removed from the glove box? Etc. etc. etc.

Sorry, but BMW are *really* well known for making unannounced changes.

[walker1971]

Yes the may well be a nightmare for changing things, but if you get it in writing from the dealer, and it’s wrong the dealer has to sort it out, so it makes no difference if they are lying gits lol

Shocked to learn that Merino leather is no longer an option as well.

This is inside my 2025 M340i

Don't fancy the rubber mats?

Sorry - I was making a reference to the carpet floor mats in your picture

[walker1971]

Ahhh I see sorry lol I just kept the mats that the dealer supplied 😄 in my last car they put m performance mats in which had the 3 little m colours on one side which was nice but subtle, clearly they were a bit tight this time around 🤷‍♂️
