Could someone help confirm these things?
I am about to order a 2005 CDI, and I have a few things I want to clarify with others.
-Wood Steering wheel / with heat..
Is it true or isnt it, that you can get a wood steering wheel with the heat option. I have read posts on this board that contradict each other. I understand that there is a stitching difference in the airbag in factory order vs dealer installed. I will be doing euro delivery and I understand you can get the wood wheel with the appearance package that way, but I need to pin down this heating thing..
-Air bag ride height adjustment
I cant get to MBUSA.com for some reason right now to check so, can you get the air adjustable suspension on the 320? I read in a Car and Driver online article that it had it, but I also heard it was only on the 500. I also dont see it on the edmunds option guide. Here is the article. http://www.caranddriver.com/article....&page_number=8
-Folding mirrors
Who is Steve K who can get euro parts, and how can I contact him?
-Sirius radio.
Does anyone know where the antenna is going to go, and what it looks like?
Thanks alot guys...

I checked out the Dealer Ordering Guide and it only lists the heated steering wheel in the optional 323 - Heating Pkg. (Heated seats and steering wheel). I know it is available as a stand alone option for the MY04 E320/500, but seems to be only part of a package for the CDI.

In the UK, the E320 CDI is the only W211 model that you can't get the heated wheel on.

I have the heated wood wheel, and if I had to do it again, this is an option I would leave off. Since only the leather part heats it is not very useful. To hold the wheel just on the leather parts is very awkward, and at least I can not drive comfortably holding the wheel that way. Plus it really does not get that hot (but that maybe different in a much colder environment).
