The wheel in the '93 is torn and must be replaced. I'd love to put something else in it, but need it to be legal. So it must retain an OEM airbag and have been offered in '93 from the factory.
I started a thread on bimmerforums about it. Take a look and feel free to post your response here instead of on bf.com.

So I realize that '97 328is wheel is styled a bit differently, but I'm guessing it's the same size as mine. The only difference is in the center styling. I wonder if my airbag would work. I'm researching that now.
I also have a lead on a nice M3 wheel which looks nice, but it has the raised portions by your thumbs when holding the wheel at 10 and 2 o'clock. I realize again that there's no performance improvement there, but I think that's pushing my luck. I'd rather not stick my neck out that far legal-wise.
And what's the deal with M-Technic cars? When were they offered? What'd the come with? Could I change mine over to one if it offers me a different wheel?
EDIT: If you look here http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partgrp.d...84&hg=32&fg=35 you'll see there are three wheels shown in '93. One is the M-Technic wheel, one is identical to the '97 wheel I'm interested in, and the third one is my stocker. I wonder if this means it was offered in '93?
Thanks,
Tommy
