It would take some custome work. Some of us have been playing around with getting a 5 lug pattern on the Mini, but it fizzes out as it becomes quite complicated.

5 Lug Steering Wheel? When did BMW go from a central nut to 5 lugs on the steering wheel, I know they do some complex things but wow, that really takes the cake.

Plenty of people have done it successfully over on MU. I know two people were rocking 5-lug adapters (5x130).....and myself and one other are running 5-lug wheels filled and re-drilled to 4 lug this year(5x114.3). It's totally possible....you just gotta pay attention to the offsets to see if you can make them work.
The only company I've found that makes a 4x100-->BMW fitment adapters is located in belgium.......but the adapters are only 15mm which is nice
With that said.....steering wheels aren't connected with 4 or 5 lugs...
Arent the e46 steering wheels a possible swap? I thought the e46 hubs were what people were using to fit racing steering wheels?

They do have one hole overlap and use a lengthened lug for that hole....because of this, it's not an option for the R56 or cars with the new funky lug size because they are unable to find the proper hardware in that size.
