SPORT PKG/WOOD LEATHER STEERING WHEEL

I went to configure an E class on the MBUSA website and found that in order to get the wood/leather steering wheel you have to add the Sport Pkg, which doesn't make much sense to me. I'm wondering if I ordered an E Luxury if the wood/leather steering wheel could be a special order option.

The option can only be ordered as a flat bottomed wood wheel. Hence the luxury models cannot have it.

There is a luxury (round) wood/leather steering wheel option-- I saw a couple when I toured the factory back in September. You would have to ask at the dealer on a special order option.

Thanks, rovinrail. I'll do that when the time comes to order. When I go to the MBUSA configuration page, and click on wood/leather wheel, the one that comes up is round, even though it says it has added the sport package. I have the wood/leather steering wheel in my S and I really like it.

i used to have a wood leather steering wheel on my old S too, but stuck with the flatbottomed leather one on the E, theyre kinda pricey

BTW, went through my old e-mail traffic:

The two relevant codes for wood/leather are:

289 (lux/round version)

314 (flatbottomed)

Both are 3-spoke, the difference is the shape.

Warning: the dealer may have to look into it a bit-- we thought we were ordering the round based on the dealer's info-- and it was specific that 314 would be round.

Not the case, as I found when I picked it up at the factory with a pretty flat-bottomed steering wheel.

I've learned to love it, though! Wasn't going to let them go in and switch it, with all the potential gremlins that would have introduced.
