Change Steering Wheel

So I absolutely love my e90, but I just have one gripe. I don't like the steering wheel very much. The two upper spokes feel too thick too me, to the point where I can't grip the wheel well. On the X5 and 550i I've driven, their steering wheels have thin spokes so you can grip the wheel in a "trigger" fashion. I feel that it gives better control and feel. But with the e90 steering wheel, it is a little hard to hold the wheel in a comfortable way. Does anyone else feel like this? Has anyone change the steering wheel before? Is it possible?

Thanks!

I've changed to the M steering wheel which is even thicker than the regular sports package one and love it. I hate the flimsy thin steering wheel where I can just grap the whole thing with 2 fingers.

ive changed a steering wheel on an E46 before, takes about 20 minutes.... very easy...

you have the sport steering wheel right???

i have the non-sport steering wheel, if you're interest, id be willing to meet up with you and we could swap steering wheels.... change them on the spot...

let me know if your interested..

Go for the sport wheel or M wheel change. The knobs at the 2 and 10 oclock position really helps in high speed turns.
