I don’t know enough about the BMW 1 series to know if this is an aftermarket wheel, but it appears to be part of an interior package by Tii that could end up being offered at dealers, etc. when the 1 series goes on sale in the U.S.
The LEDs on top of the nice thick alcantara wheel seem to be progressive shift indicators, which I have never seen before and think is pretty cool. Who knows if they are useful or just plain distracting though.
Rounding out the Tii 1 series coupe are carbon fiber bits, brakes, wheels, side skirts, seats, and maybe a limited slip differential. (That would certainly fit the car’s persona, wouldn’t it?)
More pics after the jump.

135 with the limited-slip differential would be quite the car - I would be very impressed but not selling the subie just yet. They won’t give you a 335 with LSD, so I think that’s just hoping, but time will tell.

the on steering wheel shift light thing sounds a lot like th F1 style “tach” on the steering wheel that is a set of LED’s that light up from green-yellow-red as RPM’s increase. Always thought that would be need in a car, but as a substitute for the tach, not in addition to
