I found out that it might be because my interior is Beige/Espresso Brown leather, and I noticed that something triggers the change from black to brown steering wheel when doing the build (can't quite pinpoint it). At first, I thought it was the Pkg. 3, or HUD, or maybe Assist parking, but even removing those options did not seem to change the steering wheel back to black. Oh well, cannot complain, I love what I got.

Your interior color choice determines the color of your steering wheel and dash/trim. Because you got espresso brown and beige you got a brown wheel.

Yes. I know that. I'm just stating a fact to help other fellow potential GLC 43 AMG buyers to be aware that if you do not select an interior that supports a black steering wheel option, then it will not have what they refer to a D-style steering wheel, or of course as my SA has confirmed with a heated steering wheel will also not come with the AMG standard D-style steering wheel, but a round one. From what I gathered from my SA, any interior that is 224 or 225 will not come with the D-style steering wheel. Hope this helps future buyers.

You want me to wear a golf glove whilst driving (pun intended). Should I wear my spikes as well?
