The DIY steering wheel cover restoration kit for BMW F01/F02 is a professional solution for restoring a worn steering wheel without the need for complete replacement or expensive reupholstering. Perfect for car owners who value aesthetics, comfort, and want to restore their vehicle's original premium look.
We do not provide installation services, but we supply everything needed for a DIY repair, including detailed instructions and all components.

Over time, the steering wheel loses its original appearance: scuffs, cracks, and material peeling appear in areas of constant hand contact. Many drivers tolerate this, believing that restoration is only possible by replacing it with a used wheel in good condition or through complex and expensive reupholstering. However, our kit offers an economical and effective alternative.
Temporary solutions, such as touching up scuffs, are only suitable for a short period (for example, before selling the car). Professional painting of the entire wheel is also uneconomical and does not provide tactile comfort comparable to new upholstery.
Advantages of DIY steering wheel cover replacement with our kit:
- Significant savings on auto service costs
- No need to remove the old cover – new material is installed over it
- No need to remove the steering wheel, eliminating the risk of airbag errors and subsequent costly error resets
- No need to send the wheel to a specialist and be without the car for several days
- Work can be done at a convenient time, without vehicle downtime
- All procedures are safe provided the battery terminal is disconnected
We offer two types of material: smooth leather and perforated leather. The perforated option not only adds a sporty touch but also improves tactile sensations, providing better grip and ventilation.
Each kit is precisely tailored to the BMW F01/F02 model (E65/E66 body) and takes into account the type of steering wheel – standard or sporty M-Performance version.
What's included in the kit:
- Leather cover (choice of Eco leather or Natural leather)
- 2 spools of black thread (for left and right sides)
- 2 special safe needles (one spare)
- Double-sided tape for material fixation
- A spatula for careful material installation under the multifunction wheel buttons without dismantling them
- Detailed step-by-step photo instructions
In some cases, if the buttons are installed very tightly, it is recommended to remove the steering wheel and airbag. All work should be performed with the battery disconnected.
Installation example on a BMW X5 E53 (process illustration):





We offer two types of kits:
- Eco leather (artificial leather) – an affordable option with good wear resistance.
- Natural leather (bovine/cowhide leather) – a premium material with excellent tactile qualities and breathability.



How to choose the material:
- The standard BMW configuration usually includes an Eco leather steering wheel.
- Natural leather is used in individual and sport configurations (M-Performance).
Visually, the materials are almost indistinguishable, but the difference in feel is significant. Natural leather is more pleasant to the touch, doesn't slip even with sweaty hands, absorbs moisture, and maintains comfort during long drives. Eco leather may feel more "plastic-like" but is often more resistant to mechanical damage (scratches from rings, bracelets) and is cheaper.
