e39 540 Wagon w/ Sport package?

Does anyone know if BMW sold an e39 540 Wagon in the US with the sport package?

I am specifically looking for the three spoke steering wheel that is in the sedan?

If not, how difficult/expensive would it be to switch steering wheels?

Thanks!

Yes- they did sell that car- unfortunately if you have the 4-spoke wheel in your current vehicle you'll have to upgrade to the round airbag as well as the wheel rim itself, and it's a bit on the expensive side, but it's worth every penny! The wheel changes the complete feel of the car. Check on Ebay for an idea on pricing. The retrofit can be done fairly easily once you have the parts. Good luck!

Excellent! on both counts!

I am currently looking for this car! I had a 1999 BMW with a similar 4 spoke design, and in the end, it really was a factor in trading it in. It just doesn't feel very sporty.
