You'll need a little over 20 or something around there. If you leave out the http:// in front of a link you'll be able to post it. Or you can PM me the pictures and I will upload them for you. Or you can email me them at spoonart AT gmail.com .

if it's a factory part, no, it's bad ass. very rare.

If it's not a factory part, JUNK.

At least it serves a purpose. :)

That's an M-tech I steering wheel which are fairly rare in E34's. They're more common in E30's and E28's. They are nice!

Can that fit on a MY90 car without any modifications? If so, I'm so gonna look for one ... the 19 year old airbag probably isn't good for much anyway.

Yep. Should fit perfectly. If it's from E30, E34 or 9/85 or newer E28, E24.

lol, that post thing is kinda neat. the U.S. should've adopted it being that i now am afraid to parallel park near anyone with a SUV or a huge american tank/car. i've walked out to find my Daily (99 sienna minivan) with a damn SUV right up the bumper, i've had to wait until the damn SUV driver comes outside and moves their car just so i can get mine out.

ya i think it would probably come in handy at times, i feel like i should have a flag on it and a police escort at times lol
