Question 2008 E63 SEATS - E55

I found someone that has a wrecked 08 E63. Trying to figure out if the seats front and rear & steering wheel with paddle shifters & airbag will drop right into the 55?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I thought the E63 wheel was a direct swap to the E55? Am I wrong?

E55
Ive done these mods already. Everything works. E/CLS 63 Seats front & rear seats bolt up as well as the steering wheel. The stock e55 steering wheel and airbag look terrible. Car feels better with a thicker steering wheel and doesn't look as old. I posted in one of my previous threads. GL

I'm fairly certain someone will want those parts if you dont. Seats, shift ***(if keyless go) etc. but yes the steering wheel will fit

Does anyone know if the rear center console & seats fit in the W211? IMO would be a nice & different touch

I will gladly forward the info of the owner to anyone interested. He has many parts left

E55 seats swap

Hi I am trying to figure out the same thing but I have a facelift w211 and I am trying to put E55 AMG seats into it, the wiring and everything connects the same. The Heated and Ventilated seats work perfect but the seats don't move forward/back. I am not sure how to fix this, can anyone help?
