Yeah, I've watched some install tutorials on that steering wheel. I just don't feel like putting $2k into a steering wheel for this car right now. Plus it looks a bit cheesy. Been eyeing something sportier like an M240i, but the Merc is still 100% trouble free even with 105,000 kms, so I'm not going to do anything until it starts letting me down or I get bored of it.

Mine was pretty trouble-free too (though not as good as my Brits), but you're getting to that stage where Mercedes will slowly start finding things wrong.
If you ever get told by Mercedes that your camshaft position magnets are weeping and need to be replaced, oh and it'll cost you $600; it's three bolts per sensor (there's two intake, two exhaust and it's usually the intake side), an hour of swearing total, and $44.50 per sensor from RockAuto. Do it yourself, it's easy.
As for the wheel, they can make one that isn't slathered in carbon fiber and Alcantara. Just get a leather wrapped one.
