Love the carbon fiber look you added to your car, I would like to do some of that to my car.

Also like the wood steering on your car, wish mine had it too, I asked the dealer for replacing my steering with this one and was quoted over $2500, that is broad daylight robbery, when added as a selection to new car, it costs $500. I understand removing and installing the steering can take 30-60 mins but over 2K.......insane..

More like they will keep the old one, and give you the new wooden one. In your current case, you would be having two steering wheels right. Consider the wood piece is 500$ including the labor. Anyway, from time to time, there will be wooden steering wheels posted in the marketplace.
I got mine from eBay, shipped from Germany. Luckily no customs fee. to install it, a local indy shop charged me $60 (Half hour labor or something).

Did not mean to hijack the original posters thread, sorry!

Yeah, I will be keeping a close watch on the Marketplace, thanks for the suggestion.

If you don't mind me asking, can you share the eBay link for the wood steering wheel, was it OEM? and the costs associated with it?

Very nice! Excuse me of my ignorance, but do the K&Ns work well with the E400? Love the setup of your car though, really nice.

akalincardesign1976 is the seller name. currently, he doesn't have one. look for "w212 <wood style> steering wheel <year>". if yours is a flat-bottom steering wheel, you have to search specific to yours. if it is a circular one, look for a circular one. the reason is airbag compatibility. I did not buy a new airbag, just reused the original one.
Also, other things like vibration unit in the steering wheel etc, there are threads regarding that topic in the forum anyway.

Sorry OP to hijacking the thread
