mprserv-
thanks indeed! THAT's the one I'm looking for. Any idea if it requires mods to the E63 (that's what you drive?) or the CLS55 for the button/paddle shifters? Is it really a true plug and play? hmmmmm...

I too recommend Sunil as he hooked me up with a bunch of goodies, power folding mirrors, convex mirrors, Renntech ELM, illuminated doorsills, laser difuser. Beware, you should have a lot of money put aside as after speaking to Sunil you will want to do a lot of things you did not know possible

So I believe this is the wheel you want?

Granted I think the shifting issue is coincidental, but still an issue I am trying to now figure out. But the wheel feels awesome!
