DCT Motorsports Steering Wheel Installed

Hey guys I received my new steering wheel and, its awesome! Assembly was a breeze, quality was top notch, and feel is amazing! I got the DTM style (flat bottom) leather wrapped, with silver stitching. Its perfect.

I have always heard that this is the best mod you could do to your car and I always thought that was crap! But its true!

I swear my car handles just like a LOTUS now!

E55 then E63, now back to an E55
the stock plastic wheel sucks & is too thin....
yes, this new wheel takes a bit to get used to - at first i honestly thought it was too chunky !! it felt a bit awkward & too thick....
but now, i absolutely love it - perfection !!
remember folks, this is something you see & touch EVERY DAY & literally almost every second of driving. no one who makes the switch regrets it....
