Lightbulb 2003 CL 55 AMG Steering Wheel!!!!

Does anyone know if the steering wheel in the 2003 CL 55 AMG will be leather and wood or just leather? If just leather is it possible to order one with wood and leather????

not sure if it comes standard or not, but you can have wood+leather wheel. if you want to know for sure, call a dealer up.

It is wood and leather.... Oddly, the heated steering wheel option of the 500 and 600 is not yet availabe on the CL55.

Awiner???

Hey Awiner,

In the 2003 CL class brochure, pg 14 and 15 have pictures of a CL 55 AMG which shows the steering wheel as being all leather. Any insight as to why? Also is the leather and wood steering wheel something i needed to request from my salesperson or is it standard?


thanks in advance!!!!!

Good eye ! Wow... From the brochure, you are right. It looks like the CL55 DOES NOT get the wood/leather sterring wheel this year. Just leather. The options in the back of the brochure show the wood/leather steering wheel as not being available on the CL55...

Anyone have any further info on this ?

Awiner, my guess is the speedshift thats built into the steering wheel - thats why no heated/or wood wheel for the CL55 only. just a guess..

MBUSA.com's build-your-own feature shows the wood wheel as a $799 option on the '03 CL55.

Also per the site, the heated wheel is not an option on the CL55, but is a $400 option on the 500 and 600.

Latest info from MBUSA is that the website is incorrect. All CL55 wheels with the shift buttons for 2003 are all leather. Anyone able to confirm / deny this ?

I saw a 2003 CL 55 at a dealer in Northern Va. 2 weeks ago.
It definitely had an all leather wheel. No wood/leather combo.
I was disappointed. It seems that the trade off for the speed shift buttons is the reason. I saw it with my own eyes!

I like the wheel as it is thicker, but some wood would look nice.
