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...

Airmatic is an option for the e320... Its also included in the appearance package orderable with the e320. Not sure about your other questions.

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.

Yes there is a heated wheel with wood available from mercedes. Just remember the heat will only be coming from the leather portions, not the wood portions.

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).

The antenna should already be built into the car if it's an 04.
