If no one knows for sure, just PM me your last 7 digits of chassis number and I can check the P/N of the MTEC wheel that would fit yr E28, with the online heritage catalogue.

Or you could even sign up for it yourself, is a great help in finding part numbers.

Then click on mobile tradition link, then parts supply and select historic parts catalogue. Finally click on now online historic parts catalogue.

Once you registered will get an email, where your identification is yr user name and administrator is yr password.

Think thats it, any problems gimmie a shout.

E28s manufactured before mid-1985 (May??) have a different steering boss design to the E30s and post mid-85 E28s.

Mtech steering wheels with the earlier design are quite hard to come buy but do occasionally pop up on Ebay.
