Alpina B7 Steering Wheel

Any reason Alpina doesn't offer a beefier steering wheel like that of the M Sport Package or BMW Individual Wood Inlay steering wheels?

I dunno but that standard style steering wheel is ugly! I like the one from the F13 B6

Well, my 2013 750li xdrive has a much beefier wheel than my 2011 750li Xdrive.

While I love the fatter wheel, I noticed that it really does block your view of the top of the cluster.

It almost feels out if place. I like it, but in a strange way it doesn't feel stock the way the old wheel did.

I think the blocking of the view of the cluster is a factor in keeping the wheel thinner on the alpina.
