How long ago did AMG....
Stop doing the center of the steering wheel in leather? I see the wood/leather wheel still has the center covered in leather which IMO looks 10x's better than the stock plastic piece.

My 2002 E55 center piece is in leather and it has "AMG" logo on it too. I was a bit disappointed when the new E55 has a plain steering wheel. And it is a bit thin in diameter also. Well, you can't have it all I suppose.

which it looks like the 07's will inherit . I wonder if the center section from the 02's will fit the newer cars?

It would be nice if they did it like BMW M does on all it's steering wheels.

When you take a look at your steering wheel now andthe one you used to see in the w210, than you would know the
center is very hard to fit.
My guess is they won't fit!
