upgrade my steering wheel please help
hi all ,does anyone out there know of a steering wheel that is better than the standard e55 wheels that is a direct fit ,i know a few of the guys on here have done conversions with there wheels but im just after a wheel that is a direct replacement that doesnt need a wiring genius to get the paddles working ,
all help appreciated ,my standard wheel looks and feels like it shouldnt be on an e55 ,i think mercedes slipped up in this area when designing this car
thanks again

If you don't want to bother with the paddle conversion on your current wheel, it may cost quite a bit to replace the steering wheel and possibly air bag 
Most decent shops should be able to do the conversion for you.

-run a search for them - lots of members have their wheels in different configurations that will give you more pics (wood, CF, round, flat bottom etc). Here's straight up leather with a flat bottom. . .

Another excellent option is a MP Design steering wheel. These have impeccable fit and finish, and are an easy DIY project:
