1st gen / 2ng gen 3 spoke wheel?

Are they interchangeable? As in can I fit a 3 spoke from an R56 into my R53.

the wheel and air bag seem the same but the area that attaches to the column seems slightly diff.

Check realoem.com. If the steering wheel has a different part number then they will not be interchangeable.

Good luck!

Just because part numbers dont match, does not mean they are non-interchangeable. EX. Trailing arms....





In this case though, i have read that they are not interchangeable. Cant remember the reasons why, but it is what it is i guess.
