Scott,

I also have a '94 325is with the all back moulded steering wheel.  I
recently had an annoying squeak everytime I turn the wheel.  I wound up
removing my airbag and steering wheel to lubricate the slip rings.  The
whole procedure took about 1.5 hours.  One cheaper alternative is to just
buy the airbag and/or steering wheel and install it yourself.

Regards,
Bob
