It is actually dark black, but unfortunately when we took the pictures, we didn't realize the sun was directly hitting the interior and messed-up our shot.

 

I figured it was either that or a rally strong camera flash.

Have you ever seen an E63 030/P30 with the flat side AMG steering wheel? Like the Black series wheel.

 

That is a thing of beauty...congratulations!

 

No, all the ones I've seen have the same steering wheel as mine. I think there are couple of members that did a conversion though. Both steering wheels look awsome

 

I agree.

 

On the 030 only, you can enjoy the speedo pointing to 156mph and beyond.

 

Whats the price on thos flat side wheels?

 

Off the hook

 

I like the way you painted those Style VI wheels. How is the paint job holding up?

Any idea how much the rims weigh? Lighter or heavier than the one piece? And does anyone kinow if they are available on the aftermarket?

 

Nice wheels

 

Thanks... The paint is holding up pretty good so far. I don't know about the weight of these rims, but I'm planning on weighting them at my next tire change. I saw a set of identical rims on e-bay being sold for $3k (seemed authentic).

 

OK, now wear out those tires pronto! Drift it!

 

This ride is worth a second look everyone, absolutely stunning. How has the paint held up on the inside of the wheels?

 

I don't see a difference in the steering wheel at all??? Whats different about it?

The 07 P30 came with Alacantra on both sides of the steering wheel making it a bit thicker on those sides. The 08 and 09 P30 came with flat-bottom (black series) style steering wheel.

 

Paint is holding up perfect even though I wash the car once a week

 

So our are those Conti's holding up

 

About like this Notice the new tires in the background.

 

Someone had some FUN knowing they were getting new tires...naughty, naughty...LOL

 

Does anyone know if a dealer can do this upgrade to a standard E63? I would like to have all of that added to mine, except the different wheels.

 

There is a part number for the LSD (I checked with my dealer a while back) and you can get a tuner to remove the limiter (the dealer won't do it for you; maybe a smart Indy.) Also you could get the wheel (with airbag), that's an OEM part number, too. Not sure about the airmatic but I'm assuming it's the valving in the struts that allow for more stiffness. Again there's a part number (plus maybe an SDS re-coding, too.)

But bottom line is that it'll cost way more than it's worth, imho. If you consider it was almost a $10k option, just imagine the after factory costs.

Better to do it yourself aftermarket (Quaife LSD, etc.), imho.

 

Agreed. You will likely never change the suspension, but you will be able to get an afterarket LSD.

Also an after market delimiter.
