Looks great. Oh go on then, another thing to add to the list 
Excellent, what's the final cost with the flat bottom, might order carrie on for xmas
My cost was £185 plus vat and £10 postage so it came to £231.
But it all depends on what you want doing, I’m sure the flat bottom was nearly £100 by itself.
There are so many choices and depending what you want, depends on the price.

Looks more like a sporty steering wheel with smaller airbag housing compared to the lorry wheel in the ///M
It's a standard prefacelift single stage airbag wheel, I prefer them
Looks great Alan, I'm sure you'll find it definitely improves the driving experience. Just wish the flat bottom option had been available back in August 2012 when I had mine done. Cost back then was £115 including VAT + a £100 refundable deposit, so the price seems to be very reasonable with the remodelling of the wheel for the flat bottom design.
One of the best mods that can be done on the Z in my opinion, the quality of Royal Wheels work is fantastic.
Also liked the look of Southernboy's M Style gearshift surround that you fitted.
Many thanks Peter I know that you mentioned before that you would of liked the flat bottom on your steering wheel. Just have to get it
re-done
I’m also pleased with the chrome gear stick surround from Southernboy great item and great service.
See what else I can upgrade.

I know airbags are safety measures "for our own good", but I have never liked them or the idea of something hitting me in the face at mach 1 in a 15 mph fender bender. I also like the aesthetics of a lot of aftermarket steering wheels I 've had on previous cars pre-airbag requirement, like Nardi, Dino, Momo, and Grant. (Had 'em all on various cars), and would love to dress up the Z3 with one. Sadly, it's not illegal to swap one out, but it nullifies insurance, and I haven't found an insurer who will allow it without having to pay a really large monthly premium.
There is padding on the steering wheel as it feels thicker than before. I just asked for black leather, whether it is Nappa I don’t know, but it feels good so that is good enough for me.
Looks excellent. I haven't read one bad word about royal on any site. Got in touch with them a while back to get a quote and its going to be on the christmas 2021 santa list. I have this style of wheel on my Z and the flat bottom version makes it look much nicer.
Totally agree the steering wheel looks much better

Totally agree and hate my standard wheel and I have exactly the same one on my other car being a 318 Ti. In both instances, the wheel is far too big and ugly. Surely there is an aftermarket wheel with airbag that is insurance friendly? Whereas the Royal solution looks nice enough if you like that kind of thing, making it fatter and chopping a bit off the bottom isn't a solution for me
