GLC63 steering wheel availability for GLC43 in USA?

Did I read somewhere here that in the near future, you will be able to order the GLC63 steering wheel as an option for a GLC43?

Yes i believe its option LK6.

options

In the future, I think i am going to buy a C63 wheel which i believe is swappable to the GLC. Might have to swap contact plate out, but it should work. There are wheels available on ebay for $800, but those are from latvia so need a us spec airbag.

Don't know if there is any difference between new and old ones, but for what its worth i have sat in a cla45 with performance seats, and a friend has done an 8 hour road trip in the car and said they are uncomfortable after a few hours of driving.

It says "AMG" on the bottom spoke and it is thicker. Code LK6 from the two identical links above denotes it as the version with Alcantara (Dinamica) on the 9 and 3 o'clock hand position.

normally they are about $2500 option, will not be comfortable as stock seat for sure. but it won't be too bad. the performance seats are the same on C, E and many other class. you can check them out if lucky to find a car with this option at your local dealer. I am going for this seats on my 2019 63S coupe i think it make the car more complete

I don't think L6 or L6K is available for 2018 GLC43, also 2019 steering could be different than 2018. Is the C63 steering can be swap to GLC, than I have no idea!

Yeah it isn't available on 18s in the US. I have now noticed that you can get the performance steering wheel on the 18 C43's and E43's, according to the builder on MB's site, I don't know why it wasn't offered on the 18 GLC's. I'm assuming you can swap steering wheels, same button configuration as the C63, not a hundred percent sure though.

I presume they withheld it so they could add it as a minor update between the introduction and the facelift since the performance crossover segment is now booming and they need to make incremental updates. Europe got it from Day 1 though from what I can tell, since the car in the Autogefuehl video had the L6K wheel.

The 2/23/18 ordering guide for 2019 models is out on the AMG Private Lounge. It lists L6K avail for the GLC43 (no pricing yet). Also, performance seats in Designo 2-tone (Platinum White Pearl/Black) will also be avail for GLC43 (no pricing). I'm guessing $3100 (for Designo 2-tone) + $2500 for the seats?

EDIT: performance seats also avail in black Napa.

Also, no base pricing listed on either the 43 or 63.

If you go to the Euro website ( I looked at the French one ) ,the steering wheel AMG performance Nappa/Dinamic is 700 euros .
I bet it will be around $500 here .
The AMG Performance seat are 2500 euros , probably $2200 here to be competitive with the US market .
