Just picked up this 2012 CLS550 this past Monday as my new daily driver and want to share some pix. I wanted to get the wheel plus package but couldn't find one with the color combo and options I want. Does anyone know if the manual shifting that comes with the wheel packages can be retrofited through coding/programming?

Congrats! I absolutely love this color. Boy was I torn between black and white.
I don't have the wheel + pkg and bummed not having the Manual Mode, but doubt owners with that option really use it. Heck, I rarely use the S mode.

Thank you guys for the compliments on the color. This is my first white car. Car looked stunning in the showroom and it helped me make my decision. Although I would prefer having the wheel plus package, it wasn't a deal breaker for me since this is my daily driver. Hopefully it wouldn't be too hard to retrofit the manual mode or perhaps code it through STAR. I guess with time we will see.
Also gonna look into tuning soon per dbtk’s recommendation. =)

I also wanted the wheel + pkg, but wasn't 100% sure on what it all came with. I am basically bummed that I did not wait for the perfect car (to Me).
Wheel + pkg comes with black headliner, contrast white stitching and of course the Manual Mode.
I think this pkg is approx $2K. Well worth it.
