Steering wheel rubber repair?

[funthrulens]

Hello there
Im the numerous driver of my Z3 and the rubber on the steering wheel is really worn. Is it possibility to make it look better with something, or Do I have to buy new wheel?

Rubber looks exactly like the upper part of this steering wheel on the picture https://www.gumtree.com/p/car-part-accessories/bmw-z3-steering-wheel/1263511238

Thanks

I'd start by giving it a good clean to see how it comes up. Autoglym do some good leather cleaning and balm products, as do other similar products. Failing that you could just get a second hand one that's in better condition or get it refurbished.

Send it to royals and have it refurbed it will change the whole driving experience. Haven’t found anyone yet that’s been disappointed after they’ve had one done.

The sun/uv light does that to leather wheels. Can be much improved with conditioner/leather paint. Leather replacement required for perfect finish I think.

With the cost of a refurbished wheel being less than £150 these days, it makes sense to at least consider replacing it. In the UK we use Royal Steering Wheels, but there are a few others who sell through eBay from Germany as well.

You could also consider a good quality steering wheel cover as well.
