Well it's the one thing you're in contact with all the time while in the car so it should be a nice one

Not sure how your opinion is more valid than mine, or the need for name calling, but yes I'll stick to the nicer standard one than the ugly one you have.
Sorry for calling you a jerkoff

Right but different strokes for different folks. Doesn't mean what you got is superior, it's just what YOU like better.

True we are all different. It would be a very boring world if we all thought the same

That looks awesome. Congrats on the car.

I've driven 2 different 330i's now after owning my car for about 6 months. One was a loaner and the other was a rental. Both had the thinner wheel which felt weird as soon as I started driving it. I prefer the thicker wheel I have, plus heated steering is so nice in the winter.

Come talk to me when they come up with a version where the heating element works.

I was about the pull the trigger on the Mperformace wheel but losing heat function is a deal breaker for me.

PS: The standard MSport wheel is one of the best wheels out there IMO. I have no real complaints about the factory wheel but the F platform wheels looked much better IMO.

The G20 Msport steering wheel has heating, works well. Actually used it today on my drive.

I'd love a flat bottom steering wheel like the Audi RS models have.

Yup but not the MPerformance version which is different than Sport version that M340 comes with.

Its an option you need to check.

I believe on the 2021s, it is a stand alone option.

Thought it was standard on the M package but guess I'm wrong (2019 model). The button would be above the M logo on your steering wheel on the top part of the silver plate. Pretty neat option, glad mines came with it even though I infrequently use it.

For the record, I am being facetious since I live in the Atlanta area and would rarely need it. Though, it does seem cheap that it is now a standalone option.
