I guess the question is whether my stock airbag will work with that steering wheel or if I needed to buy a new one.

RheeE55

sorry....don't know the answer to that

It works with all '06s and most '05s.

Timeless

Hmm, it looks thicker than my stock E55 wheel...and I like the paddle shifters better. Jangy (or anyone else that might know), how likely do you think it will work with mine? You said SOME 2005s?

Timeless

Bump...am ready to get this if anyone knows for sure if it will work on my 2005 E55...Dealership does not seem to know.

Any idea if this will werk on an 03 W211 by any chance?

No, the wiring is different for the paddles and the steering wheel controls are also different if memory serves. While you could technically put it in, it would require you to buy an airbag, wheel controls and do quite a bit of custom work.

Do a search on the MP Design wheel. In all leather, it is a far better option and plug and play for an '03.

You will have to disconnect your battery, pull the airbag, remove the buttons and test them with a digital volt meter set to diode or continuity testing. If both the left and right buttons read completely open (0.0) when at rest and completely closed (1.0) when pushed, you can buy the wheel and fit the E63 paddles (it will take a wire splice). If the the left paddle reads something like .700 and 1.0 when pushed and the right one reads around .100 and 0.0 (open) when pushed, it will not work.

I think that only the very late '05 and '06 are a direct swap.

Timeless

Grrrr.

Thanks for the info. Was hoping to get a decent replacement wheel for less than 1k-1.5K.

My car is a 2006 but was built in 2005. When you say very late 2005 are you talking production date? Is the airbag the same?
