Tbh there's 3 kind of patience : - being able to wait doing nothing (ie waiting in line and shit like that) - being able to remain calm while doing something that doesn't work out as it's supposed to - being able to stay calm doing an activity that takes a lot of time but works as it's supposed to.
This is truly not as easy as you’re making it seem although at the end you confess it took you 6hrs which is on par with my experience. By far one of the more tedious customizations I’ve done on a friends car and now mine. Requires a ton of patience and bleeding hands! Lol
Bro...I’ve just decided the other day that I wanted to just keep my car instead of buying another bmw and just do mods to it...this is something I’m gonna definitely do to it. Thanks bro!!
I hear the Lifters common problem from what I read sounds like a diesel when running guess it's really not an issue but if didnt sound good when he turned the wheel never heard that before.
@@matt.108 Cold Start your talking about it just being cold ? Or it has cold start? Cause if it has cold start it should sound quiet likes it's been running for awhile. Yea could be air power sterring. Either way dont think it's nothing to be to concerned about!
Steven Saunders pretty sure it’s just air in the power steering. I had that problem last year and just topped off the fluid and turned the wheel a few times. Went away. Sounded exactly like his car. Lifters would be a really loud tick. That was more of a grinding buzzing noise you would get from a pump trying to move air bubbles.
i have the same leather from aliexpress (26$) but with black stitching and the sport steering wheel, it looks and feels awesome, i did it a year ago, and still looks brand new. if you want i can send you some pictures
it would look better with a little adhesive lie flat on the wheel and maybe a few extra stitches and it won't be so noticeable. This looks like something that cannot be avoided with any stitch on cover but there are ways to make it look less noticeable.
You are talented at filming and sewing. Before watching your video, I would never have dreamed of doing this. Now, I just might. Wow does that look wonderful.
Your steering wheel looks amazing Jake! The leather and M colour trim gives an extremely sexy look. Loved the video as always, gave us all the information we needed and a thorough guide. Thank you, couldn't be better!
New subscriber and I've been on a marathon with your channel. Your videos are the best! My Mewant is on it's way for my '07 335i and I can't wait. Keep these coming!
This is actually a great instructional video, but for anyone wanting to do this, please just take your steering wheel off! All you have to do is discconnet the battery, remove the airbag and whip the wheel off by removing the 16mm centre bolt. It's soooo much better being able to move the wheel around wherever you want when you're stitching, and obviously means you can just do it in your house rather than being sat in the car - makes it actually quite a nice process!
I have been looking for a quality steering wheel cover for years. I hate the UNI Fit covers that is commonly sold. I have used similar products like this in the late 70's but I have not seen the quality covers as is from MEWANT until now. Thank you for the Video. It reminds me of the one that I put on my 66 Mustang, back in the day.
I bought one for mine direct from MeWant for about 25.00. Ebay is selling them for 122.00.. I think I messed up and got the dark Blue Threading but the Threading on the cover is blue also. But I will go to a Fabric store and get some Red if I need to. Again Thanks for the info. It was very valuable information.
I just ordered one of these yesterday and your video popped up on my feed today so it was an interesting watch. You made a great job of it. I was concerned how well it would fit around the spokes so I’m quite relieved it looks good. I’m starting with an M Sport wheel so hopefully it will feel even thicker at the end.
Nicely done. Most of the others I’ve seen so far don’t use much if any tape. I can see benefits either way, but the test is how it holds up after a year or two.
I did this on my WRX and didn’t use much tape. I bought this again for my BMW and will definitely follow his actions. You were able to rotate the wrap fairly easy without the tape.
My only criticism about this video, maybe add a little tune to the intro video bit? I thought my audio had stopped working haha, otherwise top vid dude! :D
Sick videos bro. I stumbled upon your channel watching Tjhunt and man am I happy I did. Inspiring me to start my own channel soon. Earned my subscription.
I wish there was a made in the USA product that does this. Quick question: Is the feel of the steering wheel significantly fatter after installed? Or is it still a comfortable diameter?
Almost forgot there are 2 torx screws on each side of wheel in the back at 3 O'clock and 9 O'clock take those out it will loosened those controls to help tuck!! Your Welcome
Looks great. Was there just not enough material to finish wrapping around the bottom of the steering wheel. I just noticed on the bottom oeft side under the airbag it didnt look complete. Sick otherwise tho. Nice mod
im gonna have to take mine to a shop or something because at the bottom when i start stitching, bubbles start to form and it gets really annoying. idk how yours looks so good
Awesome !Thanks so much,bro😊 glad you like our steering cover and you did good job and your stitching is pretty beautiful! Any problems,do not hesitate to contact us,we are here to help!

i bought this but the suede version for the exact same car and it feels good but its not made of real leather, i guess im gonna have to send it to a place to make an exact copy but with real leather since i couldn't find a place where they sell these with real suede, aside from that this is a really good video and it helped me a lot with mine
Excellent video! Thank you for putting your time into it and posting. I am going to install one and the video was really helpful, It saved from making needless mistakes. :)
@@JDCarsChanneloh ok man thanks, already ordered it but maybe I'll go buy some blue threads. Thanks for the response and good luck in your jeep! Still using all your old vids for my bim
Hi thanks for your video, you did a good job !! Did you buy from MEWANT the Genuine leather or the artificial leather ? I want to do it on my steering wheel which is used and damaged, do you think I should clean it first with a sand paper ? can we see the damaged leather through the MEWANT steering wheel cover ? Thanks for your answer.
Small question, i just got mine delivered last week and I also have the M color stitching. However the lightblue and red are already on the cover. But i received red and blue thread to stitch with, just like you. Was the one blue thread for the entire cover? Or did you also use a red one in the middle somewhere? Awesome video btw, keep it up!
Great job, I have the same on order now, but 1 question, I have the same steering wheel and was wondering if you've tried removing the trim round the steering wheel controls for wrapping ? I've looked but can't see how. I wanna wrap the trim after the cover goes on to finish it off. Keep up the channel bud 👍👍
6 hours seems an awfully long time, but I guess it's not something you are going to do every week. I think it looks great, and you did a really good, careful, and quality job. Well done matey. If you still check comments to videos, I'd be interested to know if it held up for a good length of time.
Do you think that you could peel the original leather off and then wrap it Bc my wheels an m sport wheel and it’s pretty thick already so I’d be nice to know what you think
You my sir are the most patient person I’ve ever seen
Hahahaha not usually! But thank you
AGREED A RARE GUY PERIOD....
AGREED...I COULDN'T DO IT MYSELF....GREAT JOB.
yeah i would have thrown that thing away way before actually finishing it. But nice job. looks great.

Yeah man! Just mod it out!
I'd be more worried about the startup sound than the wheel
Just sounds like he has some air in the power steering Easy fix. Also could be a cold start. N52/N54s are pretty noisy when they are cold.
I hear the Lifters common problem from what I read sounds like a diesel when running guess it's really not an issue but if didnt sound good when he turned the wheel never heard that before.
Steven Saunders sounds like it’s just air in the power steering system. Had that problem before. Doesn’t sound like lifters to me.

Probably the best tutorial I’ve seen on RUclips.
Just did mine a day ago! Took me 5 hours with the steering wheel off but it looks great!

That sounds awesome! Well worth the time to install it!
Bogdan Anghel how looks opposite side of the steering? All OK?
Can you show me please
Can you send us a link
THIRD TIME WATCHING YOU ARE A RARE PERSON I COULD NEVER DO THIS YOU HAVE PATIENTS AND TALENT
Hahaha thank you, but I'm sure you can do it!
8:29 The leather at the 6 o'clock spoke looks weird.
it would look better with a little adhesive lie flat on the wheel and maybe a few extra stitches and it won't be so noticeable. This looks like something that cannot be avoided with any stitch on cover but there are ways to make it look less noticeable.
That’s why he left that part out of the frame
The best walk through wheel cover video I have seen on this subject. Now where's the video on covering my beemers wooden bits in carbon fibre wrap.?
I've made a video on that too
what a legend, thats dedication and it looks stunning, great video and pace
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed
i was feeling pretty good about this until "6 hours later". ugh, what have i gotten myself into
So bad ? Do you still have it on your steering wheel or have you removed it again?
I purchased this wheel cover for my e82 135i and it looks awesome! It just takes patience to install it correctly 👍🏼
Yes it does! But well worth it!
You are talented at filming and sewing. Before watching your video, I would never have dreamed of doing this. Now, I just might. Wow does that look wonderful.
Thank you Jonathan! Glad I inspired you!
OMG 😮 You have the patience of a saint doing this 👍🏻
Hahaha
Just finished my m sport wheel. Thanks!

Do you have for Renault clio campus year 2009
I COULD NEVER DO THAT PERIOD GREAT TALENT JD.

Would it be easier if I take the steering wheel off and hand it to my nana for stitching? 😂
thats what i did :-D
For real bro
Hahah
😄

How did it go?
I would like to see the back of the wheel after the installation, because in my car the original leather looks like an uninterrupted single part.
Y quien coño mira la parte de atrás de un volante desde el exterior como para ver el acabado de una funda? Con que quede bien pegado es suficiente
this video was dope, loved the ending 💯
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed

Doing my 335 this weekend, thanks for the upload!
Sweet man! Glad to help!
JD Cars Got it done Sunday, and the outcome is truly amazing, took a good 3 hours, but we'll worth it!
6 hours ?!?!?!? took me about 45 minutes on my e46 and was my first time wrapping a steering wheel !
I also had to film the entire process!
That's true filming just multiplies the time you need to do anything by like a million, seems more accurate now ^^
@@JDCarsChannel I applaud you for sharing this with us! Great job!
I really highly doubt that. Or the e46 is jus 10x easier cause it took me like 5-6 hrs not filming
Looks sick JD... another awesome upgrade bro...
Thanks man!
Does it bother the heating steering wheel well the steering wheel still heat if I get one
It will probably slightly inhibit the heated feature, but it should still work.
"Nearly 6 hours later we're done."
You sir are a very patient person
Hahahah
6 hours is a bit much, nice result tho… buth I did it in 3 hours. Buth I was not filming my self and such
Nice work, noticed the lower section was out frame in reveal. How was fitment in lower area?
Thanks! It was good from what I recall
@@JDCarsChannel right on I fully plan on doing this mod this month
Good video. Better than the manufacturer's video. I am going to get this for my 2006 Honda S2000 and give it a try.
Looks great. Awesome job my dude

6 hours?!!! Geesh is definitely not ready to install mines lol
Great job!
Great job explaining!

Great to hear! I'm glad the videos are of help!!

Looks sick man, do you know if there will be any issues if you have a heated steering wheel?
If you have a heated steering wheel it may make it feel slightly weaker...but I think it will still work.
Did that wheel cover hold up?
amazing work
Thanks!

Id like to know what happens when the car is in the sun the entire day at 40°C +. Will the tabe get loose?
Does this same wrap kit work for E92 328i coupe ? Thank you looks great!
Yes, it should!
Good idea... Only better if a couple of shift paddles came in that kit.

Nice job man you def sold me on doing this myself.....hopefully I can be a lil quicker then 6hrs but it us what it is
Yeah you can probably get 'er done in less than 6hrs
I would like yellow on my e92 looks pretty nice tbh I would stare at the wheel for hours

Hi thanks for your video, you did a good job !!
Did you buy from MEWANT the Genuine leather or the artificial leather ? I want to do it on my steering wheel which is used and damaged, do you think I should clean it first with a sand paper ? can we see the damaged leather through the MEWANT steering wheel cover ?
Thanks for your answer.
I believe this is artificial. I did not find it necessary to sand first. You cannot see through after stitching on the cover.
Great video! How does the wrap do in the long run? Did it wear to the point where you decided to take it off?
It lasted for quite a while with minimal wear. I never had to replace it
I COULDN'T DO THAT IN A MILLION YEARS PERIOD. WOW
Hahaha sure you can! Just follow the video!
WHY CAN'T YOU LIVE IN LA WE START A BIMMER CLUB LOL CHEERS

Well done matey.

3:39 thank you wish
hahaha same here bro got a full kit for 1 buck with free shipping
Not really related to the video but curious to know what the accessory is above the steering wheel on the dash.. looks like a head up display?
Correct. It is a Navdy heads up display
Good Job
And the airbags?
Manual transmission but no sport steering wheel?
Hey how has this held up?
I still have one concern, what aboute the airbag? Did you turn it off or is it still safe with tucking the leather with the car turned off?
No issues with the airbag, it will still deploy.
Thank's for the quick response btw keep up with you'r work, you'r videos have helped so much with my e90 325 diy's! :)
Do you think that you could peel the original leather off and then wrap it Bc my wheels an m sport wheel and it’s pretty thick already so I’d be nice to know what you think
I bet that is possible... I'm just not sure about the fitment because it's a different steering wheel.
