Steering wheel rim thickness

Just curious, is the steering wheel rim in the Sport Line X1's thinner or just as thick as the M-Sport steering wheel?

It is the same as base and sport line.

If you order paddle shifters on non-m-sport trims, you get a different wheel which deletes the thumbrests, hence looks thinner.

Thanks for your help guys! I'm surprised that the regular sport steering wheel would be just as thick as the M-Sport. But good to know!

Not true, M-sport wheel is thicker. At least, it is in Europe (versus the sport steering wheel)

It's the same in north America. The only difference is the materials used.

Actually, I just gripped the M-Sport steering wheel and the regular Sport steering wheel. The M-Sport is MUCH thicker in diameter.

This has always been the case. The M steering wheel's defining characteristic is thickness. They use the same steering wheel and wrap it with thicker material (my guess).
