Wish I could trade you, all the wood in my 1997 5er makes me think I'm in a domestic barge sometimes :p

I have seen a guy on the roadfly who replaced his wood trim on his 330 during ED. I think it cost him about $450. Also, an M5 owner did the same from the Aluminum trim to wood trim. Definitely possible.

Thanks for the input john01...Div2 made me feel better about it (thanks Div2!), so I'll just see how it goes. Nice to know it can be done though!   JPC
#34 of 115 Leather Seats by jpc14 Sep 04, 2002 (7:19 pm)
A question...is there a great leather seat cleaner (or do you have to buy it from BMW?) that will clean leather seats. I have the sand color on my 528, and unfortunately, I got something (grease?) on it...I think I made it worse trying to clean it....likely didn't use the right stuff. Can these things be re-stained to match the right color if need be? Hope it does not come to that!

A worn-in grease stain might be tough, but the best leather cleaner out there is Lexol pH-balanced cleaner. And, you should follow up with the Lexol conditioner for treating the leather with necessary oils to keep it from cracking and aging prematurely.

#37 of 115 Wood steering wheel for my 99 528 by blkmanwrkin Sep 10, 2002 (6:15 pm)
I'm very interested in getting a wood/leather steering wheel for my 5 series. I would still want my radio/cruise control to work from steering. If anyone knows where I could get one please post a link, website, price, picture, just something to where I could find 1. You can also email me wasup_HBhotmail.com Thanks

"Jimmy540"'s got one on his pre-00 540i (I believe there's some incompatibilities with later wheel designs. Here it is: . His website is at jimmy540i.com, and his email is jimmy540iaol.com; He can probably point you in the right direction. Good luck.

Thanks, I went on his site & posted on his message board as well, another guy emailed me & said he'd seen a wheel with the wood at the top instead of on the sides. He had no pic or website where I could check it out. I wish I could find one like that. The one pictured isn't really what I was looking for.

Not to dissuade you or anything, but are you sure you want a lot of wood on the wheel? I know it looks cool, but it's slippery and rather uncomfortable compared to the leather sport wheel.
