Hi everyone,I am new to this as I have just agreed to by my first Mercedes 2011 E class 350 convertible. The car has just about every possible option but I really don't like the all black steering wheel. My question is are all Mercedes steering wheels the same fitment. I have found many for sale and they all look the same but before buying I just thought I would as for some input on the subject.

what specific wheel do you have? you may be able to change components to get the look you want without replacing the entire wheel. post a pic, please

Hi thanks for your reply. This was more of a generic question really as I haven't picked the car up yet. From what i have read it seems like it is possible I just wondered how simple a change it could be or does it always need the chip altering. The wheel on the car is an all black affair I was after the AMG flat bottom look alike with the silver y shape.

As long as they are the same series wheel(same design/generation/controls/airbag) you can swap easily. I'm sure others will fit, but it may require modifications(and the proper airbag...). I have the flat bottom silver "Sport" wheel. Just FYI, my silver trim was peeling on my wheel, so I bought a replacement and installed it. If yours comes with the same wheel, but black trim, you can just swap out that one piece for a lot less money than replacing the whole wheel. I think it was around $100 for the piece.

The wheel on the car is all black with big round buttons on the wheel with a one piece buttons and airbag.The one I would love to change it to is the silver y shape with square buttons and separate airbag. They changed the shade mid 2011in the UK so mine is an early 2011 and very different. I will try to post some pictures after I collect it on Friday but thanks for your input its much appreciated.

If you want an upgraded wheel (looks and functionality) I would hit up Revocarbon tech on instagram. I've bought my wheels from him and the quality is insane. His instagram is https://www.instagram.com/revotechmotorsports/?hl=en.

Tell him the Bosnian with the white Mercedes near him sent you, and he'll hook you up with whatever you like. He also has a bunch of pictures on his insta.
