I need a big favor from someone in Germany who visits an MB dealer from time to time.

I would like to purchase the accessory wood trimmed steering wheel for my C300 Luxury (US term) in Cashmere Beige. The problem is that although the US dealer parts database shows the wheels in black, gray and beige, the only part number shown is for the black one. I'm sure the item exists because on the build-it-yourself website the wheel can be ordered in beige and is not kicked back, indicating to me that it exists, someplace. So, I thought that in Germany the parts database might very well show the number.

If anyone has the time and inclination to do this for me, I would be very grateful. Please send the number by email to:

Hi RLE,

I will check it out as soon as possible. It's Sunday today so the dealer is closed.

I also have the latest large Mercedes-Benz W204 C-Class Brochure at home so I can perhaps look up the product you're looking for and if there is a number listed, tell it to you. Most likely I will need the Options/Price list for this though.

Let me get back to you as soon as possible.

Many thanks. MBUSA cannot help me, so they said today.

Hi RLE,

According to this W204 Price / Options list, the Mercedes ordering code for the wood-leather steering wheel is A204 460 2003.

However it says the leather is only available in black. Nowhere in the options list can I find a cashmere beige color option for the steering wheel. I will contact one of my MB salesman friends for more details. Stay tuned.

Sorry for the late reply, things have been a little hectic overhere.

Oh oh. That's what they say here. It's hard to believe MB would think one would want a black steering wheel in another color interior.

Thanks again for your efforts.

Look after market for wood steering wheels. Mercedes doesn't always sell wood wheels in all colors, yet the company that makes them will.

Hi RLE,

Don't give up so soon yet!

I have a new Mercedes-Benz W204 C-Class brochure at home which clearly shows a beige interior with the wooden steering wheel. I wrote one of the MB salesmen an email asking for details. He hasn't replied yet but I am sure he will soon.
