Nope still here, just removed it to fit the standard S3 wheel.

Anyone know someone with a VW/Audi MK4 (golf) based car interested in an R32 steering wheel? I have mine up for sale.

No hassles Gvido, the do come up for sale from time to time but getting rarer, save the monies for the next car and then worry about buying bit and bobs for that

I guess I'll have to leave it for now so.

300 euro is the price (steering wheel and airbag), the are a discontinued part.

I'm interested, as long as I can afford it. :P

Ah right, He's looking for a 2.5T XC70

It was me indeed !

The 2.4d would also be good.

That one is missing the sunroof though and the interior is a bit icky so I passed on that the other day. But 4k is a bargain for that car !

The xc70 part is better as is AWD s also

It was a thoroughly unpleasant ultimate driving experience tbh

Overloaded with technology

At least I didn't damage it, I was just using it out of necessity, but couldn't even figure out how to adjust the seats

Was driving a 2011 520d M today

Can't ever imagine owning one, it was an automatic, the seats were horrible, and it was a downright unpleasant experience

.... Got drowned just running for the car.

Heated leather seats are a godsend. That, and the previous owner had the head on him to put good tyres on the back so it just didn't give a **** about the rain. With a little spinning furnace under the bonnet pumping raw heat into the cabin

That's strange, the picture fits on my laptop screen perfectly and I can zoom in if I want to. What browser are you using?

I got Goodyear tyres at 60 a piece and they had A rating for wet grip and they seem to do the job well so far.
