I ordered this M Performance Steering through BMW Dealership here in Mumbai & it arrived within a week as it was in Stock in India;
Always a special feeling to unbox Car Parts; Ever since I laid my eyes on the above steering which is an M Performance upgrade option for the M3 / 4 I loved the idea of getting this particular steering wheel for my G20 M340i. The highlight of this steering is that this has a blue centre marker @ 12 o'clock position & the M colour stitching. Where as the M340i's M Performance steering has a red centre marker and white stitching; When I was ordering the part i.e. M3/4's M Performance Steering for my M340i this part no. (32 30 2 462 910) did not show its compatibility for M340i, but with the shape being same I did not understand why it couldn't fit. Hence before ordering I cross checked the Airbag part no. & found out both the M3/4 & M340i use the same airbag (Same part no.) hence that gave me confidence to go ahead ordering this part. ^ right from the 2 series upto the M3/4 share the same airbag (Part no.) Installation; Some close up shots of the new steering wheel before going in; The Airbag / Horn pad coming off; Both the steering wheels side by side before the child parts from the old steering go onto the new one; Transfer complete; ^ As I already explained in the video as there is no Carbon Fibre interior trim in my car hence i did not order those CF child parts. The previous steerings Aluminium finish child parts were refit to maintain continuity to match the Aluminium Tetragonal trim, dashboard, door trims etc. of my car's interior.

Final Look;
As my car's interior spec has Alcantara on the seats & M tri-colour Seatbelts; The Interior is now in harmony with this M Performance Steering Upgrade; Job Well Done

Looks great in your Car
Personally, for my cars I am not fond of the BMW OEM offerings... No flat bottom Alcantara on grip surfaces No Heating That's why I went with custom from AZA Autowheel for both my F32 & G23. Both have flat bottom, smooth leather on top, perforated leather on sides, alcantara on bottom, tri-stitch, red stripe @12, and HEATED

Thanks for the compliment
Unfortunately in India this is the only seat option/interior colour we get, however not complaining as I too really dig these seats especially after this Steering upgrade which completely matches the interior spec.
