E90 M3 Gets a New Steering Wheel! | M Performance Steering Wheel DIY

In this episode, our E90 M3's cockpit gets a makeover! We are upgrading the steering wheel to the M Performance steering wheel and replacing both the M and Start Engine buttons to red ones. Then, most importantly, the stock DCT paddles are getting upgraded to Evolve's paddles. For how aggressive the V8 NA motor is, the stock DCT paddles in the E90 M3 are so underwhelmingly small and passive. After doing these cosmetic upgrades, the cockpit in the M3 finally feels like it should!

With the battery disconnected its a good habit to stuff a towel in the striker/latch mechanism so you don’t lock yourself out of the trunk.

Yes sir! We mentioned that in the Valve Cover DIY video when we first showed how to disconnect the battery.

You’d be surprised what an auto fiber scrub ninja and some swissvax leather cleaner can do to worn leather!

[@drivewrenchrepeat]

Leather cleaning products have come a long way for sure!

Nice swap over. Love the new wheel.
Worth pointing out tho, that original wheel didn’t have an M3 trim. Probably been swapped out due to wear.
