I CUSTOMIZED MY BMW 1 SERIES STEERING WHEEL | SO CHEAP!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- The BMW 1 Series E87 steering wheel is slightly dated and not at all sporty. With the help of PHATBITSUK i made my old steering wheel look brand new.
I have also sold my Audi TT MK2, the time just felt right to move on to bigger projects which means more entertainment for you!

Mat Armstrong I fitted mine today! So happy with it and I wouldn’t have come by this if it wasn’t for your video! so thank you Matt! Being so affordable to me too I was able to buy it
Seen some negative comments here but I've literally just done this on my BMW E91 3 series (mine was a Mewant kit from eBay though) and the results look awesome - just needs to be done properly and it'll look amazing! Mat's 2 main mistakes here (sorry Mat, love your vids bro) were putting the cover on backwards and not using the double sided tape that comes with these kits, applying the tape to the bits by the wheel spokes is an absolute NECESSITY to stop the creases and bulges forming when you sew the stitching together as it's a very tight fit. Another top tip to make this 100 times easier is just take the steering wheel off and do this from the comfort of your own home. All you have to do is disconnect the battery, remove the airbag (actually super easy), disconnect the 2 connectors for the steering wheel buttons and remove the single bolt holding the wheel on. This means you don't have to be sat in the drivers seat for many, many hours doing this (I did mine watching some TV after work!) and also means that you can make the stitching so much more even and neat - honestly it might take you 20/30 mins max to remove the wheel but will save several hours overall and will give a much, much better result!
I'm kinda scared of unplugging the battery ngl
i just done mine, came out really nice kept it standard looking but wheel feels brand new and abit thicker. i used spray adhesive, worked really well to keep it from going baggy

*Owns Audi*

Keep the videos going bro
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fast foward 4 years later.... it worked!
That looks rough.
I'd rather pay for a refurb
It looks good when it's done properly...he's just done a shit job of it
From the @Phatbitsuk page on Instagram show that these covers look amazing! IF FITTED CORRECTLY. This is a no brainier in my opinion! Looks great 🙌🏼
Reason why it looks creased on the sides is due to the wrap being for a M-Sport steering wheel which are a little thicker then the sport steering wheel. But effort for trying and still looks better then standard.
Might be an idea to cable tie the wrap to the wheel first then do the stitching. It may help keeping it in place and pulling it right making it easier
Great content mate, but that wheel looks terrible with that cover.
Need a flat head screwdriver for the airbag dude it’s fidley but easy to do once you’ve got your head round what need to happen. It’s just a long spring bit of metal you push in as you pull the same side of the air bag then repeat on the other side I did it when I changed my steering wheel to Royals one with Alcantara and perforated leather on my M3
Put a bit of gentle heat on that and it will form better on those thumb grip areas 👍🏻
You are such a cool guy! You make me from a bmw 1 hater to a 1 lover and now I want one to replace my e39 🤣 love from France 💪
GOTTA-11 wait till you drive one, as a former rx8 seriesII owner the 1er lays down G's thru corners and catches a slide just as well if not better. E39's are one of the best proportioned BMW IMHO.
I got that car for Christmas and I've been watching all your bmw videos. Each time the video ends, "I'mma do this when I get money"
Sefy Boy who gets a BMW for Christmas 😱
@@KopCole Me and my brother do apparently
Well damn that's a happy holiday!
Sefy Boy rich parents. Lucky you
@@KopCole no, a very hard working sister.
You could have sewn up them jeans as well mate. 😉 Soz. Couldn't resist.
ok boomer
@Dan Blyth chill
Been watching your channel about the bmw 120d, I've got a 120i I have many cars in the past but the bmw 120i what a car it's got what I need what a good buy don't think I would change it its definitely a drives car
I'd have used a spray adhesive in the tricky areas to smooth out the lumps and bumps.
I have seen this video Matt I still watch it anyway
I have my 1 series wheel carbon fibre wrapped super easy to do with a hair dryer took me an hour or 2 looks really good!
I just ordered a cover but from Wish lol. Nice to see a video of someone doing this, well done. I liked it! Keep the videos coming!
It looks like shit tho
@@AstraFTW i mean, you get what you pay for. For a diy i think it looks really good. Id be happy with that steering wheel cover 😎
Not bad first attempt it looks OK are you happy with it
Wow. Look how far we come bro.
Will have e87 120d with chip to 212 hp this week. Can't wait! And I know that I'm already a fan of this canal 🤣😍
Patience of a saint man
I’m here for the BM!
Just discovered the channel, binged watched your videos all evening. It's gotta be said, you look a little like Matt Watson from carwow haha. Keep it up, what makes you unique from a lot of car youtubers is that you know how to work on your cars
Remembering the legendary TT that basically got you you’re first 10k subscribers, track it down and buy it back in the future !!
the bmw got him most of the subs recently
We miss this car!😅🧵🪡
Same car but coupe 6spd msport in Monaco blue, running the same exact rims in 17" been enjoying, yellow stitch matching the calipers nice touch, happy new year
I love the doggy!!!!!
Turned out alot better than expected... No idea how you can summon the patience for stitching like that... i'd given up after 2 seconds
Go to Jack Royal and just get the proper thing mate. Was worth a try I guess but overall finish just looks too Halfrauds.
Nearly On 100k subs mate
Loving the 1 series upgrades,what's next,funky mirrors,irp short shifter?
Looks good, bit on the rough side but overall looks good. I'm glad I just bought a E87 118i from 2011 with a M Steering wheel and M shifter. already looks great, and its leather lol
Big dawg, you've kept me entertained with the tt videos, the 1 series is good too! At least I have something else to look forward to in the new year!! Keep it up!!
Hi new suber here, love the 1 Series videos, have u changed ur interior lights to leds, i want to do mine a video to watch would be good before hand? 😜
I did it on mine. But had problems. Seems like system having trouble to detect if its on or off, so sometimes it just shuts off on its own and doesn't turn on.
Bruvs we need more series 1 videos ✌🏽
In the middle of doing this myself mate, did you turn it round after the start? Thanks
look soo soo goood !
Hi there Mat. Can you please share a good place where i can buy that bumpers and halo lights. I only see 2 things on your website and the rest of your cars modification is not there.
Get an exhaust system for it then it will sound nice
Put a yellow start button?
Nice job but hopefully you will change to the m sport steering from the e82 or f30
You need to deffo update your interior lights to leds you can get a kit for the whole car on eBay
Looks dope bro I did my steering wheel also worth the time to do it.
I'm og from your e350 cdi days but still stayed on even when you got a audi lol so don't worry its all on the way you do your content!
How far he’s come 🤣 couldn’t get the air bag off the steering wheel now replaced the dash on an m4
I have the f20 1 series but doing everything you’re doing coming along ace
I think if you did every stitch instead of every other stitch it would look more tight and perhaps fix the wrinkles.
Cars starting to look class!
You’re suppose to clean the surface with alcohol and use double sided tape to help with the sagginess
C63 is the next project
Thanks Mat, been looking for a company for months
So what was wrong with how you fit it? (The trump meme bit)
Did it just need to be the other way round? Guessing the excess fabric bit is supposed to go at the back as it's deeper there or something?
Jo Mat where did you get those forged carbon parts?
you need a 335i or 335d but if you wanna go audi, A5 3.0 tdi quattro
Hey Mat, what's the name of the song on the TT farewell? Can't find it at all!
@@robfodder5575 thanks Rob, you the MvP.
You’ll have 100k before 2020 keep the work up
Nah, it's 2021 almost March
@@saman-iw9tx where is he now?
👏👏 where can I buy that forged carbon wrap, looks sick!!!
Good video but I got one question
When you disconnected the multifunctional buttons from the steering wheel, did it result in some DTC's?
Thanks in advance!
DTS what? If you mean fault codes, no it won't cause any fault codes.
@@Alteriukas What about airbag warning light?
@@nikolamilutinovic7770 If you're worried, you can just unplug battery while doing it. As far as i remember, you can remove those buttons without removing/disconnecting airbag.
@@nikolamilutinovic7770 Getting airbag light is not the end of the world, you can remove it later in many ways, not that hard.
You should check Control Custom Steering Wheel LTD
love from portugal, watch all your videos cuz I have a 118d and I wanna upgrade it. I will try to follow some of your steps. loveee
Ain't you suppose to cut the stitching on the old cover and then stitch on the new one? If no then that will make the wheel to thick
These covers are all designed to go over the original steering wheel.
Un nou an cu bucurii !!!
Why don’t you just put an f30 wheel on look so much better
hi dude i got BMW 123D coupe and i try to do ONE TOUCH Signal using BimmerCode its says critical error has been detected . so do u have any idea for that?
New car sounds like an Audi s5 on the startup
Should have just contacted royal steering wheels .. £150 job done
You could try heating the creases out
Nice videos! Have the same car and I love it. Try installing an Android Navigation unit!
found it : D i loved this audi tt sad see it go. anyone know if this was sline or TTs ?
Love your videos mate! I own e91 and your vids are definitely very helpful!! 🔥 keep up the awesome work 💯✌
Whattup bro thoughts om the 116i model from 2007 onwards?
Hi Mat. I just noticed my 116i (f20) makes a whining noise when at the extreme ends of steering on both sides. If I steer either far left or right it whines. I checked and it seems she has an electric power steering, so nowhere to change lubricant or anything. What can I do about this??
Join the one series owner group on facebook you’ll get an answer from there
That is just not going to last long with those creases in it, give it 1000 miles and it will be slipping around the wheel like crazy, pay to have it trimmed right or leave it IMO
These covers can be done well, I did mine and it lasted perfect for 6000 miles until I got rid of the car, id bet it's still on.
He just did a really bad job
He’s got a look of Matt Watson off Carwow RUclips channel in fact I had to go and check it wasn’t the same person
Bring back the TT...🤔
Onwards and upwards now💪🏼
For a cover that you stitch yourself it’s not too bad really
Hey, does any boady has a link of the Product?
hello can i ask the material of the case you order i want the exacly same ! !
It’s coming on well bro
Good luck to you mate spending all that time👍😂
I like 2018 S5 Q5 Q7 Q3 Range Rover SVR
why don't u actually give the last car a listen
Can't wait to see what's the next project, hopefully is an Audi🤟🤟🤟
Early mk1 R8, guarantee.
Is it possible to retrofit a 2012 e87 wheel with speed limiter into a 2007 e87 without?
Think the creases are because you went TOO tight
Where u bought this? Can't find it 😭
Buys a BMW and puts Halfords tat on it. Appreciate the effort that went in but it for me just dont look good.
Do you have a discount code Matt? I need one of these
Use code MATBMX10 for 10% off
Why were you saying wrong on the way round it is? Did you put it on the wrong way round?
Yeah was the wrong way first 😂
Haha ok it confused me.
What’s the price on one btw? I need one.
I prefer my steering wheels bare back 😤
Its horrible, and also makes no sense on apllying any porous material on your wheel; how will you clean the sweat and dirt left by your hands every day? Anyway, I've been following you and congrats for your videos.
Удачи на дорогах ✌️
If you are like me and suck at stitching dont bother! I know you like to save money but this is in most cases just thrown away money. Its never perfect… i tried this with a real expesive set but not the result i wanted. Now I’ve bought the original m stearing wheel. Trust me dont do it.
You put it on back to front
You literally have a toe for a thumb🤯
Pray it’s a mk3 tt
You could have used them sowing skills on your jeans got a bit of a rip going on
😂 😂 😂
You could have bought yourself a decent car with all the money you waste on mods
All the mods and videos are filmed for entertainment and fun if I wanted to go buy a decent car I would but who the hell is gonna watch that 😂
