2013 E550 to E63 Steering wheel swap?

Just picked up a new to me 26k mile E550, BLK/BLK, pano, design int. etc. Already started mods because I just can't leave well enough alone. Odd thing is with the 6/13 build date, it came with the 4 spoke blk wood steering wheel that I thought I could live with but just can't get used to. My S63 wheel is much thicker and the feeling of the wood wheel just isn't working for me. Has anyone ever ( and yes search is my friend but I can't find anything on it ) swapped the 4 spoke for an E63 wheel? I find swaps based on the regular 3 spoke AMG wheel but wondering if anything else is different electronic wise. Weird thing is I'll be changing from a 2013 4 spoke ( which shouldn't exist ) to a 3 spoke. Wondering if my electronics in the 4 spoke are the same as a 2010-12 steering wheel. May be selling the wood 4 spoke after it is done. Any thoughts? TIA

I have the three spoke wheel in my 2013 but it was from factory. I'm sure everything will work

White stripe is oem designo. Takes some getting used to but I really like the Nappa leather vs. the regular.

PM me if your interested in the OEM wheel. You are 1st in line after the swap.

Cheers mate! Love the subtle stripe on the designo but youre right, cant compare to nappa.
Goodluck with your project and hope everything works out with as little or no problem at all. Let me know when youve done it and i might be interested with the old steering wheel.
