Hi,

I don't know how folks feel about it, but I love the new steering wheel shape and look (in beige) in the 2021 versions of the E-Coupe. Does anyone know if I can have my 2019 E450 steering wheel swapped with the latest version? Would the best bet be to order this and have the work completed by an MB dealership?

rule of thumb with mercedes wheels
you can upgrade up not down.
meaning you can install a newer wheel on a 2019 but cant install a previous generation.

now the dealer will tell you they cannot perform the install because they dont have the capabilities of retrofitting wheels and dont know the programing that goes behind it. you will need to purchase the wheel from a steering wheel company that has the modules and ability to program the wheels. the dealer can install for you but in my opinion thats a waste of money as you can do it yourself

companies id recommend. Carismo or Rucarbon

both of these companies can build you a wheel just how you want, airbag included along with whatever module you need for the car to accept the layout of the new buttons.

great! do you have any idea how much rhe price may be for a steering wheel upgrade? And also what do you think about the steering wheel that I can get for a cheap price if that one is expensive? The aftermarket ones

comes down to if you are purchasing with an airbag or not. so price can range from $1400-$2100 somewhere in that neighborhood. i know you have options to transfer your airbag and trim to the new wheels aswell so price is lower on those. id just ask the company they will give you a better understanding at what you should expect..
