I can appreciate where you are regarding the appearance of the BMW steering wheel
HOWEVER
I had the wooden Mota-Lita steering wheel on our 2010 4/4. Had loads of complimentary comments, but on a long trip it was not comfortable especially if you let your thumbs sit on the spokes. Friends with Plus Sixes have fitted the beautiful Morgan Park wooden steering wheels but they are expensive!
Personally I find the BMW wheel very comfortable and well-balanced for the car. I would recommend that you do a couple of long trips before making a change. Driving comfort may come ahead of looks!
