Hi: I am new to MB and just got a used 2009 E63 AMG. I noticed that my steering wheel is different from other 2009 E63. Have not seen one like mine, the bottom part is rather straight, not round. Picture attached. Is this normal?
Thanks.
You are right, since you mentioned it, I do remember seeing the performance package on the ad. I didn't know what it was. What else is in the performance package?
The P30 package (also known as 030 package or AMG performance package) is a factory option that comes with the following items:
- CLK Black Series (flat-bottom) steering wheel or Alacantra thickened E-Class style steering wheel.
- Top Speed limiter increased from 155 mph to 186 mph.
- Different rims (slightly wider in the back: 9.5 instead of 9 inches).
- Stiffer Sports Suspension (based on Airmatic DC).
- AMG Limited Slip Differential (40% locking ratio).
- $8,500 price tag
Thanks for the info. My car is black and black. Used to own an BMW M3 black convertible. Traded it in for the E63. More power, more luxury, more comfortable. Love it.
That is a very nice steering wheel, very lucky my friend. It looks sporty yet classy. I've seen some pretty bad steering wheels installed on E63s and E55s with that tacky hideous fake CF wrapping but this wheel is just perfect. Mercedes do make some nice steering wheels Change the wood trim though, that trim isn't the best looking. Get the grey looking trim it's alot nicer.
Hi Everyone so Im also looking to buy an 08 E63 w the performance package and noticed it has this same CLK Steering Wheel as well as CARBON FIBER TRIM. I just wanna make sure its not after market.
