Wouldn't you loose your airbag? Seems kind of silly for a daily driver car. To each their own I guess...

There are a few. Randy from M7 has one. He is away from home right now, but if you do a search you might find some threads about it, and others

I think it would be a pain to remove the steering wheel and put an aftermarket one. I dont care about losing the airbag Im going with a harness set-up anyways. Its not a daily driver anyways. I have a truck my work provides me.

^^ pain? really? not sure, but ive done steering wheels in the past
on my other cars and it's really straight forward. the only thing is if
you can get a hold of the hub with plug and play harnesses (usually
only available in Japan) it makes the work so much easier as you wont
have a SRS DTC light (you can make your own trick resistor), and
you will not loose your wirecoil thingie inside the steering wheel for
the horn. otherwise you have to make a wire that twists inside
there which works but kind of a ghetto setup imho.

see if www.japanparts.com can get you a steering wheel boss (hub)
with the plug and play. they can pretty much get anything that's
available in Japan even if not listed at their site.
