I kept the same wheel that came with my 2007 E63, but yanked it and the gearshift and had them refinished with new Leather! I opted to match the Gearshift to the wheel with leather as compared to having the back side fitted with OEM Alcantara, but I think it looks pretty good. The centering ring on the steering could have been done to more perfection, as it isn’t symmetrical on each side, but after waiting as long as I did as well as the 2 hour drive required to pick it up, I went with it! It was more difficult than I thought it would be to match the color as close as possible too, but see for yourself! I lucked out with getting matching Perforated Leather to match the rest of it!
Here’s a shot of the Gear Shift with the different color leather on the knob, however notice the OEM Color of the Gaiter Boot is very close to matching. It turned out the Leather of the Boot was in pretty good shape and cleaned up great with a little conditioner!
