cheers guys
E63 steering wheel is much better than the e55 wheel, thicker and nicer to hold, also has the aluminium paddle shifters
i like the prefacelift mirrors better than facelift so they will stay
also the lights as i have active cornering, im not gonna mess wit hthem either, plenty other things to spend money on #

its a 805 build from the factory so essentially a 2005 build even tho it was supplied in sept 2004.
2005 onwards (if its 805 or 806 stated on your data card) are straight swaps for the steering, so i got lucky!

Alps,
Your car looks awesome! I have been waiting to see someone do the conversion in silver with the SL65 wheels. Regarding the steering wheel upgrade, What parts did you need to make it work? New air bag & wheel center? Did the paddle shifters plug in or did you have to modify? I have a 805 build and want to do this upgrade.

Hey guys,
Parts are not easy to come by, best place is ebay.de.
steering wheel and airbag were bought new from ebay.
totally different from the stick like feel of the original E55 steering wheel
