2011 W212 E550 steering wheel upgrade question

Hi guys,

I have a quick question, I own a 2011 Mercedes E550 4 Matic and I just purchased an OEM Steering wheel that came off of 2015 Mercedes E550 I believe both vehicles use the same steering wheel column meaning I can directly bolt this one without buying a brand new steering wheel column but I could be wrong. Is anyone able to confirm? Thanks in advance! Below is a photo of my old and new upgraded steering wheel. Thanks in advance!


My original 2011 E550 steering wheel

And this is the one that I bought. 2015 OEM E550 steering wheel

Nice find, I like the round circular trim accent that surrounds the Mercedes-Benz star logo on the airbag , the red shifters are not my taste though

The red paddles are generic cheap china paddles.

My question is, which steering wheel column switch gear do I need to purchase in order for this steering wheel to fit and function on my 2011 E550 ?
