Wood finished steering wheel.
Just want to know if the new E comes with Woodgrain finished steering wheel in any trim. I haven’t seen any pictures of it so far. Thanks. |

I guess to get that you'd really have to order the car. I don't think they order any in stock cars with that wood wheel, only on the S Class. With both my cars I really wanted in stock cars as I didn't want to go through the long wait. The material they use on the stock steering wheels I really like, it has a really nice feel to it. I do like the way the wood looks better, oh well can't have everything, lol. I did like the wood steering wheel in the S class I just got rid of. But I do like the new steering wheel controls a lot better. Nice not having that funky Distronic stalk on the column, I always found myself hitting the tilt stalk instead of the cruise stalk.

I'm pretty sure the leather on that wheel is the same color leather we have all around our non-wood wheels. It looks a little more charcoal in the picture, but I don't think use a different leather on that wheel. Of note for the wood wheel is that's the ONLY wood you can get. Personally, I would have to choose the same interior wood as my trim, otherwise, you'd have clashing wood.
Is that the same beige/cream that you have, @rbrylaw ? |

Damn, I meant the leather on the dash and seats (beige and brown?). Sometimes I forget that I have to type what I'm thinking. Then again, surely some of you are psychic!

I had a wood trim steering wheel on my 2008 Lexus LS600hl. I really loved the look and especially the feel of the wood under my fingers. In Maine here. I can’t have both, So, I have to decide: Comfortable warm(ish) hands for the first 10-15 minutes of driving , Dec-Mar, or the sensual feeling all the time.....Hmmmm HBH |
:ditto: Yeah, I know!! Still, $600 is still a bit pricy. Plus I love the heated steering wheel so...that's what I got.

I saw one in a showroom car when I started seriously shopping MB. So I think they do occasionally come in. Did not love the feel of it because it's not grooved for fingers on the back side. Just a personal thing. Correct me if this is wrong, but I think you cannot order it on the coupe without full burl walnut trim. Which is fine if that's the trim you want. Not sure about the sedan.

I know for the Cabriolet E450 you have to have the Light Brown Sen wood trim, which is a deal breaker for me. Natural Grain Light Brown Elm wood trim, is what I wanted and wouldn't give that up. Plus that color wood on the steering wheel doesn't make it for me. I believe it's the same requirement for the coupe as well. |
I had a service loaner with the wood steering wheel (gotta love Beverly Hills) and it was great, never seen one in inventory but would add it if I was ordering. Can only be paired with Burl wood trim but IMHO that's the only trim to order (notwithstanding the fact that I have a different trim but I bought from dealer inventory).
