Good to see you haven’t given up, getting the little jobs done, really enjoying the e9* stuff, as I have a e91 wishing one day I could do mods like this

[@Wheelsanstuff]

That’s one I don’t have the patience for. Nice work, glad to see the build continue as things get sorted.

[@royconnolly9809]

very good video, it looks great it has gave me the confidence to tackle it myself lots of great tips thank you

[@seanissomething]

Fantastic work mate!

[@heyhayhay247]

I did this on my E39 540i M-Sport in suede, and it turned out pretty great. There were a couple of spots that weren't 100%, but it was vastly superior to the worn factory leather and added some thickness to the wheel. On my E60 though, I'm just going to order a wheel from Coby Wheel.

[@jamesrobinson1579]

Not bad! I did my E83 wheel last year and also removed it to do the work from my couch instead of in the vehicle. I used the tri-colour thread and I have to say it is less forgiving because it stands out! I had exactly the same issues you did, plus I found it was even more wrinkled when I finished because I got more confident with how tight I could pull the thread (as you mentioned). That said, I have used leather conditioner on it several times, and also the heated steering wheel function, and after a year, it has completely tightened up! I might not have noticed, or just thought I got used to it but my daughter got in the X3 the other day and asked if I had "got rid of my home sewn steering wheel and bought a new one" LOL. WAY cheaper (several orders of magnitude) than the professionally refinished wheel I bought for the M3, and looks 90% as good LOL

[@AndreasKahl]

Nice work, I knew it would really improve the look of your wheel. I bought mine direct from Mewant, their videos on KZbin can help with tips on the install too.

[@zippy545]

got one of these on Amazon in the US from MEWANT, could not be happier. Got alcantara with no stripe and 3 color stitching, what a fun project

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

How long has yours been fitted?

[@jonjohns7080]

Bro this is great that’s for sharing this I’m totally doing it

[@RomeoGoesRetro]

I did this in my car, while the steering wheel was in the car! Great way to update the wheel.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

I'm two minds as to whether it would have been easier in the car or not.

[@Saif0412]

I messed up mine, 🤦‍♂️ took it to a steering wheel retrim specialist to get it done. Great update either way. I need to replace the side indicators with LED ones and the, rear lights as well. Should be getting the Billet custom paddles Monday from Nelson racing wheels 😎

[@Saif0412]

I think you did a pretty good job Andrew, I'd sand down and respray the plastic trim on the wheel. Remember to cover the M logo 😉

[@dariousturner9264]

I did this on mine as well, same brand about 9 months ago and it has held up really well. But the best part is the way the steering wheel feels in your hands now, definitely worth it.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

It’s made the Msport wheel feel more firm. And the leather is soft like the new f series wheels

[@amhodoz2205]

@@ZeroTo60Tube Hi! is your model Black smooth Artificial leather on top and bottom+Black perforated Artificial leather on both sides+Black thread?

[@vancesolinap6917]

They also sell one with m-colored stitching. Great vid overall!

[@HassanEido1]

I did that to mine, can't recommend it enough! Awesome job

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

How long did it take you? This was nearly 4 hours for me.... while watching the occasional youtube video.

[@HassanEido1]

@@ZeroTo60Tube it took me about 2.5 hours on the 335... I had done it a few times for my E46 so had some experience ... Like you said the genuine leather is the one to get!

[@robertkowalski8146]

Good job 👍

[@mitchanderson]

For a little bit of safety when pulling the wheel off, it’s sometimes worth using the bolt in or nut on if the wheel is stiff so when you try pull it off you don’t cop a wheel to the face 😂

[@MrCybergladiator]

Good work. Better job than I could have done.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

I’m far from skilled at this type of thing. It’s was easier than expected, but still I messed up only focusing on the front alignment.

[@alhoward101]

Clear!

[@pigeoncatcher1]

Steam will help leather stretch and help remove creases.

[@br4d101]

I think when pros do this they use steam to make the leather a light more pliable also knock the stitching down with a small hammer as makes it flat! Good job though I’d of ruined that if I’d of done it!

[@g.wes.3906]

Or I have seen them use a really thin plastic to make moving it into position much easier.

[@docgramps1]

I didn't even know these covers were a thing! Awesome! Wouldn't worry about the wrinkles, unless you have many people sitting in your footwell?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Haha

[@azcarpetco3461]

I read that you want to switch to a PI manifold. I just received my Phoenix racing manifold from Burger tuning. And it’s awesome excellent quality.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

I wish freight wasn’t so much from BMS. They look like such a nice manifold

[@juniwalk]

115 AUD for professional retrim in nappa leather here in Czechia, no way I would do it myself :)

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Oh wow!

[@pugs1377]

Looks like it turned out good. Did it bulk up the wheel much? I like the thickness of the e90 wheel. I may get this for my e39. The e39 wheel feels a bit thinner

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

To be honest not noticeably. The wheel is very thick on an e90 and this stretches quite a lot. You can just see In the video the new leather is thin enough for it show the original seams underbites it.

[@Melbournerider]

Looks amazing. Might find a cheap wheel to practice on with my e39

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

I think that would be a brilliant idea. I think the next one i do will be pretty much perfect. In fact i just ordered the alcantara version for my other wheel.

[@HassanEido1]

@@ZeroTo60Tubeheads-up the Alcantara is no good. They call it black suede or something . I'd cancel that order 😅 it goes bad very very fast and develops fuzzy clumps that are insufferable. At least that's been my experience

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Good to know. How much was the black suede one you tried?

[@HassanEido1]

@@ZeroTo60Tube its listed at 43$but perpetually on discount at 29$

[@bronxbmw625]

I see that you have a valvecover link from Amazon have you tried that one i need to replace mine i think from as i m chasing some 29e0 and 29e1 codes thinking i have a crack in the cover i never touched the car and i have owned it for 80k miles and its at 184k

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Yeah, i fitted the valve cover about 6-7 months ago. It has been fine. I just ordered another one for my spare motor.

[@davidmarion9178]

Use steam to smooth it out.

[@rueben68]

Looks great maybe you’re just a bit too picky lol. Great vid

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Maybe when it comes to my own work.

[@iRestoreGadgets]

one of the 2 things i will never do, the other one being vinyl wrapping.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

This is definitely easier than wrapping. Both require horrific amounts of patience. This was just appealing enough since I could watch some KZbin while I did it

[@shoepacr1]

CAUTION! THERE ARE 2 MORE SPECIAL TOOL SETS YOU NEED! When it comes time to re-install the cam ledges, it's imperative that u use a "cam ledge alignment set" also during this process, you will need a tool that holds 2 of the valve springs compressed as to not put any load on the cam and cam ledges during install and torque process. I found that the valve timing set was easily procurable, while these other 2 sets were MUCH more expensive, and harder to find. Some may say you don't need them, but I have seen 1st hand the damage done to cam ledges and cam shafts when they weren't used.

[@joesaric1]

the bottom where the 2 pieces of leather meet should cut the edges as close to the seams as possible, so it is now too thick at the joints.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Good tip

[@mustafay4427]

Where’d u get the steering cover

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

I’m away from my laptop, but there is a link in the description.

[@ChrisChaos209]

Maaate! Hows about selling ur old wheel to a fan?? Me! Lol

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Ha..... well I may try a suede cover too. Might do a give away if we get enough subs on the one I don’t end up using

[@iG4MERs]

In Germany, it is about 100€ to get completely new leather on your wheel - makes no sense for me to do it yourself if even the leather is 45€. 55€ to get it perfect and don't do anything besides installing...

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Labour must be cheap in Germany. You're lucky.

[@iG4MERs]

Labor is expensive, but there are so many people doing it on the side (not their main source of income, where they are insured etc..) which drives the prices way down.

[@iG4MERs]

You used Paddles from the BMW X1 Wheel on you E92, right?

[@MrFabeRick]

👀👀👌👌

[@TheHeretic435]

Puddle lights with logos are ricer AF

[@SixSpeedSeven]

what racecar have you seen with puddle lights?

[@moosecat3773]

I respect your opinion and slightly agree, BUT of all the cool things I've done to e90, that is the ONE thing normies get excited about....
