Crap, the alcantara wheels wear out that fast? If so, JST you should swap yours with a leather M3 wheel while while you can still get an even trade, or even make money.

My M3 wheel still looks like new after 1.5 years.

Well, yes, they do wear out, but mine is at 31K miles. Though I could have easily argued to get it replaced at 20K or so.

They'll replace it under warranty?

Or is it the maintenance plan, because it's considered a wear item?

I am sure they will. Lots of people have had theirs replaced at 10K miles. Mine is in rough shape vs a new wheel.

Just stop grabbing your steering wheels so tight!

i thought the clutch was supposed to adapt to you, not the other way around. if you regularly drive multiple vehicles you come to realize that the e46 clutch/throttle isn't just different, it's wrong.
