How to Fit a Steering Wheel Cover on a BMW

Model: BMW Serie 1 MK 2, F20, F21 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Steering wheel

In this video, learn how to fit a steering wheel cover on a BMW 1 Series, though the procedure is the same for all BMW models. In this case, the kit was purchased from AliExpress with code 1005001265299770 for £21.67, with free shipping. The kit includes the steering wheel cover, thread for stitching, two needles, a finishing spatula, and double-sided tape (if needed). The steering wheel cover has a specific orientation, and it cannot be fitted any way you like; otherwise, the result will not be satisfactory. After taking the necessary measurements, begin stitching using the pre-prepared seams. Start by following the advice of our YouTuber for the first stitch and the initial knot, which should be positioned to join the existing seam invisibly. The entire stitching will take at least two hours. Then, use the spatula to tuck in any excess leather on the sides of the grip (which obviously cannot be stitched). If necessary, apply a little double-sided tape. Job done.
