With enough time and money, anything can be done. The more money you have, the less time it takes.

I would imagine that your biggest problems in this would be 1) the airbag hookup; 2) modifying the horn contact ring/boss; 3) getting a wiring loom to work the buttons.

On your particular vehicle, a steering wheel from any 1992-1999 (non-command style) steering wheel will bolt on and will keep the functionality of the airbag. You most likely would need the horn/contact ring from your old steerging wheel though.

I installed a 1999 CLK55 wheel/airbag on a 1992 190E which you can view at www.2phast.com/190e

good luck.
