Hi,
I was told that the Plus 8 that was in 2014 Geneve stand had a new steering wheel.
Does anybody of you has any pic/can confirm?
Are there any steering wheel alternatives for the Aero world (keeping the airbag)?

Almost anything would be better.... There is a quire reasonable BMW M Sport wheel that has a small centre boss that includes an air bag. I have on on my car. This is a link to a photo: it is available with and without "Flappy Paddles". It is also available heated.... BMW Steering It would, I guess, also work wth all the BMW Can Bus electronics.

Thanks for the info! Almost anything would be better...  There is a quire reasonable BMW M Sport wheel that has a small centre boss that includes an air bag. I have on on my car. Whenever it happens to you, could you take a pic of yours? I am wondering how does it looks with the Morgan dash.

Yes, there was a new wheel fitted to both the Aero Coupe and the Plus 8 - my understanding is that it has been fitted to meet the new airbag legislation. I will try and dig out a photo if no one posts one up quickly.
It would, I guess, also work wth all the BMW Can Bus electronics.
The Aero CanBus isn't based on a BMW foundation. The base was another manufacturers system, which Morgan then modified in-house. Therefore, I wouldn't assume any BMW item would be plug and play.

I will look for a picture on my camera, it certainly was different, but I didn't recognize a BMW steering wheel, and as a BMW driver I think I would have recognized!

I do not like the current version but equally, I am not sure that looks significantly better to warrant changing. I closer look might help.
