Want to Buy Titanium Upper and Lower Steering Wheel Trim for 2001 E39 M5

Have had a hard time finding anything other than carbon fiber replacements for the upper and lower steering wheel trim for my 2001 m5. The steering wheel is the three spoke model that I think is the same on the M3. Would prefer new pieces. Needed in the stock titanium to match my stock titanium interior trim.

Was there ever such items in titanium?? Someone can maybe custom make them for you at a great expense. Probably easier (and maybe cheaper) to get the interior trim and the steering wheel trim in CF. But I imagine you have allready thought abt that? (Would match the exterior of your Beast pretty well).

Yes, though it may have been marketed only for the M3 steering wheel. I've found it in various different colors, including "shadow titanium," but only a couple of times in matching titanium, and someone beat me to the punch each time and bought it out from under me. I really like the titanium look with my black and blue interior and have updated the other titanium trim in my car, so if I can't find these pieces, I probably will have them made. Probably can just have the stock pieces painted.
