Does anybody know anything about this wheel? Is it possible to swap into a R55?

From context clues it currently resides in a European (or Australian) R53...

that style is usually for the older models, I don't know exactly what generation r50's? but yeah that was the standard, i'm sure you can find that steering wheel on nearly all of the previous (they have that here not only in europe.. just not right hand drive) models.

(correct me if i'm wrong)

 

yeah, my '03 MCS had that.

 

cool, thanks for the background on it!

if i happened to find one would i have any issues installing it on my new (2008) clubman S (currently with stock MFSW)?

 

Yes your controls (MFSW) would be useless if you installed it
