From Facelift to PFL steering wheel swap.

Hey guys,

Newbie here so please forgive me if I this is the wrong place to post this.

I’m currently looking at a 2019/2020 e53, but also considering the Facelift 2021 for MBUX touch screen and wireless CarPlay. I’m currently in a 2018 c43.

the problem is, I HATE the facelift bi-wing touch capacitive steering wheel and I absolutely LOVE the PFL steering wheel. It’s my favorite wheel of all time.

I’ve searched and searched but can’t find the answer… is it possible to swap the facelift steering wheel for the PFL? Has anyone done it?

That is a good question, I do see people going from PFL to FL so I think the harness is the same, unless those who did it went with aftermarket. If it was almost a direct swap from pre to post, I wonder if it is the same from post to pre. Rarely anyone does post to pre swap on any MB model though, sadly not enough data in general.
