Apparently mine arrived yesterday (via AliExpress) but I'm not at home at the moment. Looking forward to having a go.

at under £18 delivered ( i ordered one on a whim a few days ago) I'm not sure there is much room to savings to be made
From where. Do you mean the ones that just slip over the wheel?

from aliexpress - now showing as £18.14 ......

Looks as if they already do discount. 10% off 2 or more... probably worth asking about it. I'm sure they'd give more discount if they get x number of orders.

Pretty pointless it'll cost considerably more than the 10% discount to post it in the UK

Also more than 1 means its over the no vat/duty limit so a bulk order will be more expensive

Having dealt with a number of different Chinese companies I'd say it's worth asking if they're willing to make a real leather version....

Just a guess but can't see it being more than an extra $10

They do a leather one too. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mewant- ... 96df152c91

I had thought the M wheel was thicker so it might not fit. Although mines an 'Individual' wheel so who knows what i've actually got...
I am not sure if it would fit the M wheel. The seller is pretty quick to respond so you could ask. The listing says it will only fit wheels that look like mine.

Actually (Dont quote me on this..) i think all post 2006 multifunction wheel's are the the thicker kind, the same as the M. Mine is anyway.
There adverts state: "Suitable car models:for BMW Z4 2003 2004 2005" so not 2006 onwards.

Did you get a leather one or artificial bud? Be nice to see the difference... I think OP (jmotsch) and Sgr74 both have the artificial one?

Looks on the face of it a good cheap alternative to the usual professional recover. For what it costs any one with an SE spec E85/6 could give it a go.

I went for the artificial one. The original wheel I find to be quite slippy and returns to that state quite quickly even after a good clean. My wife's Civic's wheel appears to be artificial leather and is quite grippy and so I thought I'd give this a try.
