C63BS steering wheel
i glimpsed a wide red car with a massive spoiler at the dealership on my way to the gym .. i knew what it was without having to think twice :P .. it was indeed a red BS with aero kit .. i didnt know bucket seats were not standard on this 
.. the regular coupe seats are not enough for a car like this.. nonetheless, if any of you in the area would like to check it out .. its at the bethesda euromotors showroom ... for 118k
now, onto my topic .. i tried to replicate the steering wheel in the BS on my car, suede with red stitching .. while the guys at DCTMS did a solid job, i would prefer buying an oem steering wheel .. anyone have any idea how i can do that ?
heres my steering wheel.

Should be easy to look up the part number on Mercedes EPC.
Do you have a vin# on a BS to go with?
For the best price on OEM Parts I found these guys to be amazing and they take phone calls (unlike some other internet vendors).
http://www.genuinemercedesparts.com/partlocator/index.cfm?siteid=215306
Expect to pay well into the range of 1.1-1.5K for that wheel.
Can you post contact info for who did your wheel?
I'd like to get the seudo suede replaced on my wheel.

LOL, I was almost thinking to ask if you wanted to sell your wheel.
If you think you are selling soon, let me know and I'll hold off spending any money on my wheel.
I copied a BS VIN off eBay and this is the part number for the steering wheel:
A2044604703 3D16
It has the BS P98 code and 3D16 Red Color Footnote.
You will need to call GenuineMercedesParts.com for a price.
It did not come up when I entered it on their website.

funny thing is, i installed one 3 days ago .. i passed my my dealership, as i do every week (i think they are getting sick of seeing me) ! and they had an edition1 that they had changed some options while at the factory. It has all the options the edition 1 sedan has + reverse camera + P31 + LSD + lane change + illuminated door sills + carbon interior ... basically all the options (literally) :'( ... makes me pissed i didnt wait ... then again, it is 12k more than my car ! changes that i can get for much less ... but the spoiler on it looked menacing !!
here are pics of my car .. i think it needs more CF on the outside now though .. diffuser + mirror housing !!
sorry the pics are kinda dark .. its a bit early here

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=230723974503

lane change u can't .. door sills u can .. i got them to install the camera ! the spoiler i got off of ebay ! installed it myself ! very easy, follow what people on the forum have said fishing line, and goo gone with some warm water, then put some muscle into it ..
my little trick is that i used a powerwasher to get every little bit of old tape off, washed the car, dried it .. then installed .. im going to wash now as a matter of fact, ill post some pics
..
oh and Jvanbrecht ... beautiful pups, dane looks scary :P ... but everyone is afraid of my GSD, and it boggles my mind since he is the equivalent of an infant hahaha sooo harmless and playful.
cptdaz, im glad you like my steering wheel, it looks nice i agree, but man sitting in that BS and grabbing a hold of that steering wheel .. u can REAALLLYY tell the difference. it just feels like mercedes .. mine feels customized .. im looking for a stock.ish .. but deadly ... plus, i decided not to sell the car and mod it instead .. Agency Power heads+exhaust and kleemann tune within a week .. spacers .. the full carbon fiber intake system from JL motoring .. JL motoring diffuser .. and the CF mirror housing ..
doesn't sound too stock does it ?? :P

Nice garage of cars you got there!
Somehow, I fail to see the difference between the steering wheel you have and that of the stock BS wheel. Other than the red leather bottom (which is probably what you asked for in the first place), they're the same wheel in shape, size, everything. What saddens me is how MB has decided to pretty much use the same steering wheel across a pretty large percentage of their 2012 lineup - no longer makes owning an AMG unique in this regard.

I hear ya but I've shown monumental restraint with the C63. In the past, as soon as I got a new car, I'd drop considerable $$ to mod it but with the C63, just a tune, coilovers and nothing else (for now). I do like the feel of alcantara so a new wheel is always a possibility hehe

i asked them, they have it all but the spoiler, i believe .. even the side skirts fit
prices are out in may and delivery in june i believe, worth waiting for .. that diffuser is what i want .. for the right price though, i might get the whole lower body !!
