CLK 63 Black Series Wheel is installed.

This wheel rocks. It is super thick and makes my 63 that much more fun to drive. It bolted right in with no problem. I think this is the coolest steering wheel Mercedes has ever made.

Yeah, it's a little smaller than the stock 63 wheel. I feels great in my hands, like a nice D cup.

It came with the paddles and everything works just like stock. The E63 already comes with a compatible airbag.

Brothers, we must unite to accomplish a new mission: getting these wheels in a 211! I absolutely MUST have this in my '05 E55! GOTTA HAVE IT! AM I correct that this is the one that was on Ebay for ~$850 or so? Ohhhh, I need it in my car, the sooner the better!

What do we need to do to get this to happen? Is it possible? Or only doable for a E63? Yowza that is a bad *** steering wheel! The paddles are the icing on the cake! Waaaa!

Im in the process of getting this to work in the W211 E55. My MB tech said he can make it work, so as soon as i get more info i will pass it on.. In the E63, it is just a plug-and-play. The W211 E55 there is alot of modification needed to the control module, airbag, and multi-fuction buttons..

On an E63 it's a piece of cake.

Now I am really interested.
Where did you get the wheel from?
What will I need to swap mine?
