[quote="74malaga370"]I'm the one posting the eBay steering wheel item, and I'd like to know what it is myself.

As stated on eBay, I'm just selling it because I replaced it with a vintage Momo wood wheel. I'm not trying to deceive anyone, but was told from the original owner it was a turbo style wheel. It has an odd logo/stamp on one of the backside spokes that resembles a simple two-spoke steering with a capital letter P in the horn button area. It also has the number 838 stamped on the same spoke. I tried to capture that in one of the pictures on eBay.

a GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH came up with...http://www.washdcmail.com/02_page/pics/TURBO-G.JPG
that sure looks like my wheel but maybe a true leather wrap, it's difficult to tell from the photo.

And this...http://www.bmw2002turbo.nl/2002_TURBO_PARTS/turbo_steering_wheel_1.jpg
looks exactly like my wheel

Then there is this...http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1310/1310996851_d224fb8bfc.jpg%3Fv%3D0&imgrefurl=http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclopticgaze/1310996851/&h=333&w=500&sz=99&hl=en&start=4&tbnid=2ORDRndQ3lAzsM:&tbnh=87&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3DBMW%2B2002%2BTURBO%2Binterior%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG

Which sure looks like my wheel.

And of course there is this from the bmwmregistry.com site...http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.bmwmregistry.com/faq/2002turboint-1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.bmwmregistry.com/model_faq.php%3Fid%3D2&h=298&w=450&sz=17&hl=en&start=11&tbnid=5LY2iU9cC8eXpM:&tbnh=84&tbnw=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3DBMW%2B2002%2BTURBO%2Binterior%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG

Another site shows this...http://www.pistonheads.com/SALES/449520.htm

The following came from the www.2002twinturbo.com/ sitemap.htm site
and this looks like a leather wrapped wheel with a different type horn button...http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.2002twinturbo.com/images/overview/11.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.2002twinturbo.com/sitemap.htm&h=546&w=600&sz=156&hl=en&start=199&tbnid=ZRVaIvb-rbBleM:&tbnh=123&tbnw=135&prev=/images%3Fq%3DBMW%2B2002%2BTURBO%2Binterior%26start%3D198%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D18%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DN

Then, of course, if you're tired of pictures of steering wheels, there is this...http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.theguestroom.net/car/2002interior.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.theguestroom.net/car/&h=600&w=800&sz=108&hl=en&start=324&tbnid=pnYGkisIjpgEdM:&tbnh=107&tbnw=143&prev=/images%3Fq%3DBMW%2B2002%2BTURBO%2Binterior%26start%3D306%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D18%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DN

Which shows the rear seat with an article that indicates that one should not be behind the wheel.

So, in closing, my caption states "TURBO STYLE steering wheel". I can only hope I'm somewhat correct. How about some of you TURBO guys chip in with your opinions. Regardless, it is a steering wheel. It looks like others in the TURBO category. It is in excellent condition. It still has plenty of spring left in its vinyl grip. AND, it would really nice in someone's 2002!
Currently it has a $125 bid. BID HIGHER![/quote]
