I purchased a walnut leather steering wheel from a supplier who advertises in merc enthusiast (their add has lots of pics of interior addons and light upgrades) cost was approx £300 (£200 cheaper than a merc main dealer). I didnt have to ship the old wheel out on a return basis like some sellers. I did have one issue with this wheel, it kept blowing a fuse when the horn was used, this knocked out my indicators and starter motor which was a pain in the backside. however my local independat fixed the issue within an hour by running a relay on the live or negative feed (i think) on the horn ,forgive my lack of knowledge. the fix wasnt much in cost. I have a friend who also has a late model w124 coupe who had the same issue on an aftermarket walnut leather steering wheel. I beleive the same wheel is often sold to many models (s class, SL, E class and C class) and this the cause in the problem as not all power for the horns are the same. if you can go genuine, please do but you will pay for it. Mine isnt OEM but it looks the nuts and makes my car interior look so much better than the old wheel.
