Is it time to replace your race suit? Let’s get you track-ready. The Complete B-G and MOMO BMW Steering Wheel Hub Guide
BG8245, the B-G hub for the Mini One and Cooper F55/F56/F57, is also a BMW part. BMW has owned Mini since 2000, and the modern Mini shares its column with this generation of BMW, which is why one hub covers both badges. If you already have our Mini guide open, this is the same part turning up from the other side.
This guide covers 46 boss kits across the classic 3 Series through to the current range. If you drive an E30, E36 or E46 and want wheel recommendations rather than just the hub, we have a separate E46 steering wheel fitment guide that covers that specifically, this page is about the boss kit itself. I am Cameron, and I look after the steering wheel side of things at GSM Performance.
Which boss kit fits your car
An aftermarket wheel will not bolt onto a BMW column on its own. The boss kit bridges the two, machined to match the spline count and column depth of your specific model and year. The table below is grouped by part number so you can see which listings share a hub.

Green rows share a part code with Mini models not listed in this guide.
Seven older MOMO listings, covering the E36 3 Series with airbag, the E24 6 Series, the E28 5 Series and the 1502/1602/1802/2002 range, are older-format listings with no clean modern equivalent. They are genuine, currently sold parts, so if your BMW is one of these classics this is the correct listing. If you are after wheel recommendations specifically for the E30, E36 or E46 rather than the hub itself, see our separate E46 fitment guide.
Fitting a steering wheel hub
So how does a Sparco wheel end up on a B-G hub? Because nearly every aftermarket motorsport wheel is drilled to the same bolt pattern, six bolts on a 70mm circle, written as 6 x 70mm PCD. MOMO, Sparco, OMP and the Mountney M-Range all use it. The hub is chosen by the car, the wheel is chosen by you, and the two brands never have to match.

How each brand drills its hubs
The B-G Racing hubs
Seventeen B-G hubs, all solid non-collapsible and dual drilled for 6 x 70mm and 6 x 74mm, covering the classic 3 Series through to the current range. BG8245 also fits the Mini One and Cooper F55/F56/F57, the current-generation cars, because BMW builds both on shared underpinnings.
The MOMO and OMP hubs
Twenty-nine hubs across MOMO and OMP. MOMO cover the widest span, collapsible and drilled 6 x 70mm, including seven older-format listings for the classic 1502 through to the E36, noted above. OMP list a handful of solid non-collapsible hubs across the mainstream range.
Browse by brand
The buttons below link to the current range from each brand filtered by make, so they stay accurate as stock changes. If your car is not listed or you are unsure which part fits, drop a note with the model and year and we will confirm before you spend anything.
B-G Racing BMW
17 BMW hubs
Solid non-collapsible, dual drilled for 6 x 70mm and 6 x 74mm. BG8245 also fits the Mini One and Cooper F55/F56/F57.

Why not add a steering wheel quick release kit
A quick release sits between the hub and the wheel and lets you pull the wheel off the column in one action. On a track-prepared BMW that is useful for access and security. On a stripped interior it makes getting over the sill easier when the wheel is not fighting you.
All four take the same 6 x 70mm pattern as the boss kits on this page, so whichever hub you choose will work with any of these.
Pair your boss kit with a high performance steering wheel
Once the hub is sorted the wheel is your choice. For the E30, E36 and E46 range specifically, see our E46 fitment guide for the five we would run. For everything else, these are the ones I would look at first.

Every wheel we sell is drilled 6 x 70mm, so any of them will bolt to any of the hubs above. The real decision is diameter and dish, which changes how heavy the steering feels and how close the rim sits to your chest.
Final thoughts
BMW is a straightforward range with one genuine crossover worth knowing: BG8245 covers both the modern BMW-era Mini and BMW itself, since BMW has owned Mini since 2000. If you want wheel recommendations rather than just the hub, our E46 fitment guide covers that ground separately.
If you are not sure which part fits, or the model on your car is not on the list, drop us a line with the registration. I will confirm the right kit before you order anything.
