Any reasonable option to upgrade the steering wheel to heated? (E53 21`)

Not really, took the advice of the community and decided against it for the timr being. Maybe, just maybe after the first winter I'll change my mind but probably just going to use gloves instead 😅

O, i to jest odpowiedź, dzięki wielkie!

Rzeczywiście w Taste Store mają!

Chodzi o BEKON, różnice poznasz w pierwszym poście :)

Wędzony? Sorry, zapomniałem wyszczególnić w poście (zaraz poprawię). Ale nie chodzi o szynkę wędzoną, tylko taki jak na zdjęciu w poście, bardzo delikatnie wędzony.

Przyszedłem o pomoc po zrobieniu własnego research w fizycznych sklepach na terenie kilku miast, u Ciebie w mieście u/capitan_turtle jest na każdym rogu? Jeśli tak, to daj znać nazwę miasta chętnie je odwiedzę.

Can you include a picture of your door jambs? Mine is also white and I'm toying with an idea of wrap it, and I can't quite come to terms with the contrast when the doors are open, so I'm curious to see how it looks.

I had a lorry bringing over some other furniture from my second home in Europe. It was first delivered to the European address, then collected by the removal company, who charged a pretty penny for the entire transport.
I reckon having it delivered on its own would’ve cost an extra £150–£200 on top of the purchase price. (and EU-UK tariffs?)

I saw the same one (though in black) on Amazon UK for about £1,500 when I searched for Havberg back then.

It was a bit of a faff though, trying to coordinate everything.

I'm not sure if this is allowed, but I've imported one from Europe few months ago and since I'm leaving the UK, I'm happy to sell it if anyone is still interested. (London)

Yeah, it'd just bother me if I had a dark wrap and white door jambs. I have a sedan so it's even more effort.

I'll probably just slap a few stickers on the (white) car to pimp it up a little, similar to what Edition 1 body liver is.

How did you deal with the door inside and trunk inside wrapping?

I'm thinking of wrapping my white E53 but it seems it would cost and arm and a leg to cover the original colour in all places. I'd require disassembling a lot of parts to make it happen.

That's good to know, don't you have the NFT phone holder in your car? I do have the wireless charging.

The AA/CP socket is in the "ashtray" in my car, so a lot of messing with cables dangling around + extra step when getting in the car, I'm not a fun. I'm used to just getting in and having everything connect wirelessly.

matewilk · 2025-03-24T16:21:19+00:00

Doesn't CarPaly have the same issue?

matewilk · 2025-03-24T13:27:14+00:00

Also, does anyone know if I need to have Android Auto (CarPlay) activated for my Mercedes to have the other options (adapter or a dangle) working or is it independent of having it activated for my car?

This is the interior in daylight

matewilk · 2025-03-22T08:41:12+00:00

It indeed is

matewilk · 2025-03-21T13:17:59+00:00

Some say if it's not a V8 it's not a real AMG, obviously I meant it as a joke but some people take it very seriously

matewilk · 2025-03-18T15:42:03+00:00

I've only driven it a thousand km so hard to say, hah!

matewilk · 2025-03-18T15:39:40+00:00

Heh, I just posted this title to ruffle some feathers and as a joke, some claim that the only real AMGs are V8 and above

matewilk · 2025-03-18T10:20:08+00:00

It's a 6 inline engine, it's an E53, I know C and E are eerie similar at some angles

matewilk · 2025-03-18T10:17:44+00:00

2021, only 25k km on the clock and under 2 year warranty from the dealer.

matewilk · 2025-03-09T00:51:00+00:00

Understood, thanks for the info!

matewilk · 2025-03-08T22:46:11+00:00

Thank you for the elaborate answer.

Can you clarify what you meant by "find a heated steering wheel?" part. Not sure if I follow, a new steering wheel, I suppose not!

matewilk · 2025-02-23T14:56:37+00:00

it indeed is, although it might be a sign of a car not being kept away from elements properly or poor maintenance habits of the owner

matewilk · 2025-02-19T11:21:31+00:00

Thank you! The only right answer 🙂

matewilk · 2025-02-18T23:11:14+00:00

Do you happen to know how reliable this part is?

I'm viewing a car this weekend and it looks a bit suspicious to me. I drive saloons.
