I really like the feel of the suede on the steering wheel so much that I am now thinking of getting it covered in suede but whilst Jack at royal steering wheels seem to have the steering wheel re-covered he doesn't seem able to re-do the original thick Alpina stitching so who can? The factory? Would they take in my original wheel and re-cover it in suede and throw in some rhomboids for good measure?

I had this exact same dilemma with my st wheel - Jack can recover the wheel in some lovely leathers/alcantara - whatever takes your fancy, he can also stitch in the arrows and add rhombs, but he cannot replicate the Alpina straight stitch.

There is a trimmer in Europe somewhere that can replicate the stitch - I think he might be in Poland? IIRC he was retrimming wheels and selling them on ebay.de in Alpina spec.

In the end I bought a brand new wheel from Alpina. I suspect that if you want the factory to do something for you they will, but do it on a new wheel.
My wheel took over 7 months to arrive, although I think part of this was BMW UK incompetence. A new wheel gets ordered from BMW by Alpina, it's then stripped and buttons added and then it's trimmed to your spec at the factory.

One of these days I will update the thread on my car and add some pictures and details.

Wow, just read this and the previous threads.

May be one of the coolest RHD alpina's ever?

I am sure if you chose to sell (probably unlikely), you may have a line of the usual suspects queueing up at your front door.

Well Done
