CLK63 Black Series steering wheel installed successfully

Well, I have an 05 E55 and I read through the previous posts which indicated that it should work if I have the updated electronics. Since I have the updated center console, I decided to go for it and order the wheel from the seller on Ebay. Great service from Age tuning. The wheel arrived in a week and it is the real deal. I just got it installed at Curry's in VA for a reasonable price. I wanted to confirm once again that it is definitely plug-in-play in the 05 if you have the updated electronics. I had to pull the trigger because I couldn't stand the skinny steering wheel that comes with the E55.

I feel like I'm driving a new beast!!!

Looks good. Too easy. Congratulations on a good look! Thought of changing the wood grain. Just a thought. An even cheaper mod for a much improved look. Each to their own but I think your 55 deserves it!

Looks nice! How much did it cost you for the wheel? The install? And where did the updated steering wheel shifters come from?

The paddles are part of the wheel package along with the airbag.

New Wheel (including paddles) + new airbag + shipping + install = $1600

Definitely not a cheap modification but something you really enjoy the benefits of every time you drive the car since it is the steering wheel. I was thinking of just getting the E63 steering wheel since it was substantially cheaper but I decided to go all out since I don't believe I will be selling this car anytime soon.

It will easily fit an '03, '04, and early '05 with a little work. Visit this link:
