2013 E Classes - Electromechanical Steering Standard?

All the 2013 E350's with sport package at my dealer have Electromechanical steering listed on the window sticker and all of them also have a sport style 3-spoke steering wheel despite *not having wheel package.

Can anyone confirm if sport steering wheels are now standard on sport models and if electromechanical steering is also standard?

Do you mean: "...despite not having wheel package"?

It would be sensible, wouldn't it? The sport package should include a "sport" steering wheel.

Right, but there was no mention of the sport steering wheel being standard on the 2013's in the ordering guide.
On the 2011's and 2012's, didn't sport models come with the 4 spoke steering wheel? My 2011 w/Almond and Black interior didn't come with the new steering wheel so I was wondering if it's still possible to get the classic 4 spoke with 2013's

Mine is '11 sport and came with the four spoke. I wanted the three spoke but there were none in my area with the wheel package (I live in the desert southwest, IOW the middle of nowhere).

If they have relegated the four spoke to the lux, that is fine with me.
