Replacing Dynamica steering wheel

I just picked up an E63S First Edition and absolutely love it... with the exception of the alcantara/dynamica steering wheel, which seems as appealing as carpet in the bathroom.

Ideally I'd like to replace it with a carbon fiber/leather wheel that I've seen custom made for other cars (typically exotics).

Does anyone know of any custom shops that make custom steering wheels for the E63s? Or possibly even if there some OEM alternative.

I'm curious how hard this is due to the airbags and all of the infotainment buttons (like the trackpads, etc.)

Are you down to lose functionality on that end?

I'm envisioning that the only part that gets replaced is the "frame" while all the controls/airbag piece just gets swapped to the new frame.

Look up Neidfaktor. They do a lot of custom leather/carbon stuff for German cars. They did a full custom leather interior for my old Audi. Their work is incredible but they’re usually busy so you’d have to be patient.

Many options from eBay vendors. You can also message them and ask for something else like Carbon fiber with leather.

Thanks for the link i was looking for one of these myself. Interested to see how hard it is to replace the wheel from this video it doesn't seem that bad.


i know that this is a c class but Im assuming the e class is relatively similar

Just ordered one for my e63. I ordered the silver trim hope it somewhat matches whats on the seats. Thanks for the suggestion. They look great.

IF you haven't swapped it out, I would do a swap with you. I have a full Nappa sport wheel on 2019 E63 (purchased Saturday on 9/5 with 230 miles on it).

You might checkout Exclusive Option in Berkely, CA. They recovered my BMW M5 steering wheel and numerous other pieces in several cars of mine.

Just a quick note, my experience (and my customers who I send to them) with Lederman Z has been excellent, and the quality is 1st class. Hope it is for the rest of you all...
