M5 Steering Wheel?

Anyone think an F10 M5 steering wheel will work on the F30?
From this pic they sure look compatible...

That one looks a lot like the sport line wheel.
It's probably thicker.

The Msport wheel is nice. It's not just thicker, but it's center is narrower over all as well, giving a better view of the gauges, at least it looks like it will judging from pictures.

Why not just go with Msport and that M wheels standard?

That looks like a good option. You won't have to buy a new airbag. I'm definitely going to look into that.

I am thinking of changing my stock steering wheel with either this one or the F30 M Package steering wheel. Both should be compatible right ?

F10 M-sport and M5 airbags are not same shape as F30.
You need the F20 M-Sport wheel to reuse the airbag.
Picture comparison: F20 on top, F10 below.

Otherwise I think the F30 M-Sport or F10 M or M-Sport steering wheels will fit, bit will cost a lot more. Figure ~$700 for steering wheel only and ~$800 for airbag module.
