WTB: CLK Black Series Steering Wheel
Guys,
Looking to buy a BS steering wheel for my E63 and wanted to see if you guys had anything available before I go out and buy one new from the dealership.
PM or email me: mark.chapparone@gmail.com
Thanks!

I think the steering wheel is the only part of the BS I don't like ... I can't get my hand around the portion of the steering wheel that I'm used to. Is it that different from your standard E55 wheel where everyone is going to say "wow cool, a BS steering wheel" or are you going to have to always tell anyone looking ... "that's a BS steering wheel" ... I think it's a waste of time and energy.

Why cant anyone just answer the OP's question? It is a simple question. He didnt ask anyone for their opinion of what it would look like or what anyone thought about the Modification. This is supposed to be an enthusiast's forum. Not a place to be hassled when you ask for a little bit of information. You either know where the OP can buy a steering wheel or you dont. Just my $.02.

Don't know where you can find one.
Also, I thought you couldn't get BS parts w/o a VIN, etc?
Maybe only some parts are this way?
Good luck, maybe there's a smashed one somewhere you could get it from?

Eitan - using your words, it is an enthusiast's forum...we are sharing our experience. There is no reason to get ones panties in a knot for us sharing our experience.
mchapparone - you want help, go to the dealer and order one. better yet, look on this forum and buy one of the carbon fibre ones.

Eitan1, thank you for contributing positively to my thread..it is ecampbell (and cigarette1) that has issues.
ecampbell, I know I can go to the dealer and order one..thanks for the GENIUS idea. Wow, you are so helpful!!! The reason for my post was to see if anyone had sourced a steering wheel out for a better price than the dealer (which costs $2240) or if somebody here went with a different steering wheel and possibly had one they could sell me. I AM JUST ASKING A SIMPLE QUESTION, you don't need to be an a-hole about it in every response. Thank you for contributing to this forum..

And I gave you an answer for two sources (i) the dealership which you knew and (ii) I referred to the Carbon ones posted on this website which you may not have seen.
And asking why you would put the wheel on ur car is not being a hole...it was a question.
Again dude...RELAX

I'll keep an eye open for you, but I'm affraid that due to the rarirty of these cars and "steering wheel mods" not being a common thing you are most likely going to have to produce a VIN and head down to your local MB dealership and pony up full price for an OEM unit. The only other option I can think of is trying to locate one from a german or high-end car salvage yard, several of these Black Series have been totaled so I'm sure you can obtain a wheel from a salvage car however it's likely that the airbag has been deployed and you're going to have to pay for a bag re-load and sensors/ignitors.
