Do-it-yourself steering wheel cover restoration kit for BMW X5 E70 and X6 E71 — a professional solution for eliminating scratches, scuffs, and signs of wear without the need for complete steering wheel replacement. Restore the premium appearance and tactile feel of your steering wheel as if it were new with a ready-made set of materials and tools. We do not perform installation — the kit is designed for self-assembly.

Steering wheel restoration kit BMW E70 E71

Over time, the steering wheel of a BMW X5 E70 or X6 E71 loses its original appearance: scuffs appear in frequently gripped areas, the coating peels, and cracks develop. Many owners believe restoration is only possible by replacing it with a used wheel in good condition or through professional reupholstering, which is often economically unviable. Other temporary solutions, such as touching up scuffs, do not provide lasting results and degrade the tactile experience.

We offer an innovative solution — a ready-to-use steering wheel restoration kit that installs over the old cover. This allows you to:

  • Save on auto service costs
  • Avoid removing the old material
  • Prevent steering wheel removal and associated risks (airbag errors, coding)
  • Perform the work at your convenience without being without a car

Tools for steering wheel restoration

The kit includes everything needed for a professional result:

  • High-quality upholstery material (choice of smooth or perforated)
  • 2 spools of strong black thread (for left and right sides)
  • 2 special safe needles (one spare)
  • Double-sided tape for material fixation
  • A spatula for careful installation of material under multifunction steering wheel buttons without removing them
  • Detailed step-by-step instructions with photos

Note: All work must be carried out only with the battery terminal disconnected. In some cases, if the button module is installed very tightly, it is recommended to remove the steering wheel and airbag.

Comparison of Eco leather and Genuine leather materials

Material Choice: Eco Leather vs Genuine Leather

We offer two types of upholstery, tailored to the original BMW specifications:

ParameterEco Leather (Artificial)Genuine Leather (Bovine/Bull)
Usage in BMWStandard equipmentIndividual and sports equipment (M-Performance)
Tactile FeelFirmer, may feel "plastic" with sweaty palmsSoft, pleasant, breathable, moisture-wicking
DurabilityHigher, resistant to mechanical damage (rings, bracelets)Natural, requires careful handling
AppearanceIndistinguishable from genuine, available in smooth and perforated versionsAuthentic genuine leather texture, perforation
PriceMore affordablePremium

Visually, both materials are identical. The main differences lie in tactile feel and performance characteristics. Genuine leather absorbs moisture better, does not become slippery during long drives, and provides a sense of exclusivity.

    Первый комплект купил год назад для своего Х5, до сих пор кожа как новая. Решил взять второй про запас, потому что качество отличное.

    Manai mašīnai stūre bija nobrāzta un nepatīkami lipīga. Ilgi šaubījos, bet šis komplekts tiešām attaisnoja cerības. Uzstādīju bez steigas, sekojot instrukcijai. Tagad stūres izskats un tauste – kā jaunai. Noteikti ieteikšu citiem.

    Manai X5 stūrei jau bija nobrāzumi un plaisas. Ar šo komplektu viss izdevās – neko nenoņemot, tikai apvilkt.

    Draugas rekomendavo šį rinkinį, nes jam pavyko puikiai atnaujinti savo X5 vairą. Pats pabandžiau – rezultatas tikrai geras.
