Magic formula for black or silver steering wheel inserts?
Thank goodness my new 2019 E450 Cabriolet came with the black rather than the silver inserts on the new steering wheel. It's easier to keep clean and easier to see.
However, at least here in the U.S., there doesn't seemed to be any rhyme or reason as to which models get which? I know it's not night pkg. or AMG line that triggers it. I have neither on my car. I've seen 2019 cars in my dealers show room that have come in that have either/or; regardless of model. Does anyone know?

No idea about the US, but in the UK the steering wheels with the silver trim seem to be reserved for AMG line vehicles.

Anyone else have a theory? Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason here in the US.

I have the US AMG with silver inserts. I don't like it. Under some circumstances the reflection from the sunlight is very high, like a flashlight in my eyes. I have to cover both with my hands. It's just dangerous.

Still, have no idea what triggers whether you get silver or black.

For the US: Add AMG Line +2,500 - Incl. Sport steering wheel , for Germany you can order the " Multifunktions-Sportlenkrad in Leder Nappa " with no additional cost. You can't replace the inserts, its not the same shape as the black inserts.
... very hard to see ...
It takes a couple of day and you know the functions....

I wonder if they didn't realize their mistake with the silver, and substituted the black in later orders. That's all I can figure.
