Where can I find a sport airbag cover?

[Spyro235]

I'm looking to buy a sport airbag cover. I'm hoping to save costs, and transplant my non sport airbag into a (hopefully new), but not bmw costing) sport cover. From my research, it appears to be easy, but I can't seem to locate a cover. I'd be totally ok with a Chinese cover as long as it looks the same.

Are you talking about the steering wheel airbag? If so, the cover with the emblem and all is part of the airbag unit as a whole, and it would seem trying to replace just the could lead to some questions about the safety of the thing.

Also, isn't the entire steering wheel different for the sport and the airbag differently shaped?

Swapping the airbag between the sport and non sport covers is a pretty well documented thing. The airbag itself is identical.

I'm swapping to a sport steering wheel, for the feel of it. Feels way better, and I drive 40k a year how the steering wheel feels to me is a decent upgrade. I want to put my airbag in the sport steering cover because I know it's been replaced under the last round of the Takata recall.

Ah ok, makes sense. I'd never heard of just being able to swap an airbag cover before.
