No project to big or to small, chris will do 'em all. So happy to see companies partnering with you & the projects you have, speaks volumes about your abilities and the trust you're building.
I swear you are the coolest car channel on the tube .... It's obviously not about the views for you. It's about the enjoyment ... and inevitably we end up enjoying it too. Thank you bro.
Chris..glad to see that all of your hard work, impeccable attention to detail, is paying off with vendors reaching out to you...and these are high end folks...
I can't get enough of this channel. I rewatch past videos over and over until till a new video is released. Great video!! Also congrats to both of you and your wife. Newly married 🙌🙌🙌
The new wheel looks great! I agree with your choice to keep the trim ring silver / brushed metal. Happy for you that the plan & execution came together. You’re a car guy through and through. Keep making great videos! I’ll be watching.
These are the best kinds of mods, something you touch on the car every time you drive. Glad you kept it classy oem+ instead of going with some flashy carbon/digital wheel that most people end up doing, for it to look out of place in the interior. You can look into swapping the 2012 cluster in as well, has the nice color center screen.
Agree, with your choice. Can you hook up a wheel for me as well? Chris, you need to swap in the 2012 LED cluster and get rid of the old TFT cluster. You can also add Apple Car Play and Android Auto. Did both to my car and honestly, have no interest in a new car. I can send you a few pics if you'd like. Basically bought two clusters, one from a 2012 E63 biturbo and another from an E350. Swapped out the biturbo tacho faceplate with my V8 6.3L faceplate, and used the black hood from the E350 cluster to replace the silver/gray hood on the AMG cluster and then had the cluster SID coded to my car.
Honestly bro, I’ve been watching your stuff recently. Legit shit, no corny shit just straight to working on the cars. Trying to get like you on day. Nice garage and nice selection of cars. Keep up the work! Oh I used to use Berryman carb cleaner for o2s usually works.
hello Chris, love your videos keep em coming! you can also put the car back into automatic by holding the upshift paddle down for about 2 seconds @33:12
Pretty sure I've said it before but I'll say it again... I'm not the longest sub, but definitely will be here for the long haul. Love the content, especially the LS stuff but learning a good bit with your exploration of the AMG stuff.
Same steering wheel that’s on my 2012 C 300, except the paddles. I have the AMG appearance package. Thanks for the insights on installing it, now I know how to install the replacement buttons and brushed cover. You can see “W212” on the wheel in the vid. That’s the C300 model.
Great video and I love the new wheel. Have you considered swapping the instrument cluster with a colourful facelifted one? Totally changes the vibe in the car. This monochrome just doesn't cut it in 2023 in my opinion.
My chrome on that wheel is peeling all around every edge... the top is all bubbled. I just try to watch the road 😂 a new trim with the AMG replacing AIRBAG is on my list
Been here since you bought the red corvette and then binged watched most of your videos. Bro you’re going to blow up soon. Quality is up there with the top car guys and you actually know how to turn a wrench.
Like the OEM+ mods on the steering wheel. Did that on my C6 - installed C7 Comp Sport seats and they look so dang good. I am looking for a leather wrapped D shaped 2011+ wheel - don't need any of that CF stuff. Also wanted to thank you - followed your touch up advice you did on red c6z hatch and I filled in a couple rock chips. I've painted truck beds, roof, hood, etc - but never tried a small chip. Used 2500 - 8000 grit (used trizact pads above 3k) - buffed the fender - and you can't even tell there was a mark.
What a great and spot on upgrade! 👏 The old steering wheel locked really awful, the new one looks so much more modern and „sportier“ 🙏 And I am, as you, glad that you didn’t painted the silver „thing/plastic part“ with the AMG-logo in black, it looks so much better with the silver trim and it perfectly fits into the whole interior. 👍 It definitely looks like it came that way from the factory as an option 🙌 Well done @Chris Sullivan 🙌 But, tbh, if I may allowed to „criticize“ one point: Don‘t let me/us wait so long till the next AMG video 🥴😉 Thanks and with best regards from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋
The only other thing I would do is try 2 find a different kind of interior wood or brushed alum if they ever made it for a different year that is compatible. All the doors n console trim would look crazy if MB made a different style for a diff trim of E-Class. Either way that thing is Gorgeous!! Keep it up man
I had a 12 cls550 it had the amg sport package. Almost same wheel like you built. I changed my silver to a carbon one, then found a place that made some awesome red carbon paddles. Totally just changes the look of a car. Your making me miss mine a merc v8 with a free exhaust, nothing like that sound 😁
Great video. I've been tempted by a wheel similar for my '11 but it came with the upgraded three spoke sport steering wheel so it doesn't look quite as bad as the four spoke.
Followed you for a while. Next time you need mods let me hook you up so you get ”corect” parts and s little better leather wrap quality. That is not the corect wheel model for the AMGs. AMG had flat top as well. 🙂 And I could have saved you alot of work by getting you corect wheel. Dont hesitate to contact me. Keep up the good work.
The steering wheel looks great. I think the E63 is the only interior on the W212 that I like. The others W212 interior look so cheap, specially when you compare it with the W211
Love ur E63 bro, you should add the Apple car play kit on ur car. Would make it feel more modern with technology. Also what manufacturer did you get your rims ?
Hey Chris, have the same car, even same colour inside out ) Love your videos, inspired me to install headers on mine! Had the same thoughts about the steering wheel, one of the classy options that suits this model even better than your upgrade in my humble opinion would be the 3 spoke that came on performance package C or even E class itself from that time. The 4 spoke was not the only option! My ultimate choice would be an SLS steering wheel, but not easy to find nor cheap! I ended up keep my original 4 spoke wheel but turned it to carbon fibre/alcantara combination. Someday, maybe I would get an SLS one! Its a lovely amg, but at this age, you end up changing many old items that has to retire. Then hopefully they would work flawless for another 10 years ) I would suggest when you get the time, probably while trying to install the catch can, dismantle your intake manifold fully, clean any rust if present, then paint yhe inside of it with rostoluyiom to prolong its life. These are very hard to get clean from scrap and not sure you can buy them new! Preventive maintenance is a thing with M156 Change your oil very often! The cams are also a potential issue, i ended up ordering some billet ones to never worry about that ever again 😅
Finally, some more AMG content. Love that car btw. Not sure about the Bosch though as I've used those before on a couple different cars/trucks and only had bad luck with them. When it comes to O2 sensors, I try to stay with OEM if possible, Bosch is junk in my opinion. Love the new update on the steering wheel btw, very sharp. And to all those who watch and don't Subscribe to Chris's channel, what are y'all waiting for????? Hit that Sub button and mash that like and lets get Chris to the top of the charts. It's well deserved for his content.
My local dealership has a 2011 AMG E63 with 92k miles. I know it’s high miles but the price is under 20k. I’m about to pull the trigger but all the M156 horror stories have me balking.
Hi Chris. The new AMG steering wheel looks awesome and brings the interior up to date! Good job as always. I have my bucket list car, an '06 SLK55 AMG that has that a 3 spoke "granny" steering wheel that needs updating. I've been wanting to upgrade to something like yours. Any help since you've had a couple AMG's? Thanks. Steve
I like the wheel, but I think I actually like the glossy black more than the chrome. You could paint it all black then, highlight the AMG logo in red. I never really liked chrome. But, it's not my car, damn it! 😅😂😅 My 01 e320 got abs warnings for a while. Those just went away. Then I got some sort of o2 sensor warning. That has gone away too. My car is haunted. Now my five year old battery is dead. At least I hope it's not the alternator. I'll find out Wednesday.

Seriously. Lol. Gotta love seeing the $1600 carbon wheel with LEDs and red stitching in a stock E350 with tan interior

New wheel looks incredible! LOL at the Saturn comment. 😂
That steering wheel made a huge difference, looks fantastic!
Congratulations on getting married !
cant wait until this channel blows up. your content is fantastic.
hello Chris, love your videos keep em coming! you can also put the car back into automatic by holding the upshift paddle down for about 2 seconds @33:12
It’s always a good day when Chris drops a new video. I love that amg. Actually I love all your cars and your content is 🔥. Keep it up!
That steering wheel is a very nice complement to that car’s interior.
Digging that AMG blackout! Noice!
I almost screamed when I saw you painting the trim piece. I was relieved that it was the old one! Great content, Chris. Love the car!
Pretty sure I've said it before but I'll say it again...
I'm not the longest sub, but definitely will be here for the long haul. Love the content, especially the LS stuff but learning a good bit with your exploration of the AMG stuff.
I'm not a Mercedes fan nor I can care less about them. But the steering wheel transformation was pretty cool. I do like the brushed stainless look.
Great job with the steering wheel , top results without spending $$$.

W212 refers to the e class chassis from 2010-2015ish
@@ChrisSullivan69 you’re right. W204 is what I have. But I’m more of a Terminator guy anyway. The C300 is my daily.
Can’t wait for the next Cobra vid!
Great video and I love the new wheel. Have you considered swapping the instrument cluster with a colourful facelifted one? Totally changes the vibe in the car. This monochrome just doesn't cut it in 2023 in my opinion.
I literally just had headers installed on my C63 and my O2 sensors went to shit the next week. You're not alone on that one.
My chrome on that wheel is peeling all around every edge... the top is all bubbled. I just try to watch the road 😂 a new trim with the AMG replacing AIRBAG is on my list
Knocked it out if the park with that new wheel. Talented too made that shit look easy. Wish I could do that. I want this car lol
Good choice going with the brushed AMG trim piece. Nice contrast. Another great video! Cheers!
GREAT CHOICE IN YOUR NEW STEERING WHEEL !! BIG DIFFERENCE IN MY OPINION WHEN DRIVING WITH RIGHT FEEL OF THE STEERING WHEEL !! JESSE VIA LAS VEGAS
Chris, the new steering wheel mod is sick. Tasteful, sporty, well thought out, AMG themed and DIY’d. Well done dude! 👍
Saw same car today.. not as sharp as this one tho for sure. More SIXT9 too👍🏻 finish’er up bro!
the black and silver wheel belong, nice job
You could try to paint the trim in matte black,or hydrodip it in the wood colour.Give it a taught😁
Hell yeah with the paddles man. If they don't fit, you make em fit!

I really like that you painted the old steering wheel trim just for fun. Looks good either way!
What’s on that finger Chris ? Congratulations
Enjoy your style of workmanship and garage set up
I use the notes app to keep up on all maintenance and mods for my cars but a booklet sounds like a good back up
Fantastic outcome on the wheel. One of my gripes in my E63 AMG. However I have the CLK black series wheel but still 4 spoke.
That’s awesome Bro. Great work
this channel is awesome
Thanks!
The upgraded steering wheel is on point!

Great mod Chris ! She looks 👌🏻. Love the content 🤘🏻😎
Always great to see a new video pop up !! Inspiration to work on my stuff !!
Been watching all your videos. It looks like you got hitched. Congrats dude!
Like the black painted trim on the wheel personally. But.. I’m a poor person, may take that in to account.
Your channel is still awesome!
Dope... Wheel looks sweet
Def like the gloss black trim! Very tasteful either way
Let's gooo, always get excited when I get the noti for the new video!
Nice work man, love seeing the custom touches. Very jealous of that car.
Great video. I've been tempted by a wheel similar for my '11 but it came with the upgraded three spoke sport steering wheel so it doesn't look quite as bad as the four spoke.
The steering wheel looks very similar to the ones that come in the 2015-present SRT Dodge Chargers! Looks awesome

I don’t know if I’m the first to say it but you look exactly like the UFC Light heavy weight fighter Jiri Prochazka
Well that's all I see now. Our boy just needs that wild hair style haha
hey Chris look at facelifting tail/head lights
Very nice
New wheel is leagues better then the 4spoke👌🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻

looks good on factory wheels

perforated leather* not preforated....but another awesome vid!
The day you get sick of this car, please please PLEASE let me know!!! I still want either a 2011 or a 2014 E63!!!
👍👍
F ya! Perfect timing!
Bad ass
Do you have a link to the brushed aluminum AMG steering wheel trim?
Are you going to update the gear lever to the newer versions like the 2014?
Those are the easiest o2 sensors ever. My 08 mustang gt was a nightmare to replace lmao
I have the same car! i hate the shifter. Any ideas? i love the 2012 version...
I've thought about upgrading to the 2012 shifter as well!
I agree the wheel is ugly in the 2010-2011 e63. I have a 2011. Nice job and looks much better.
Another great video, but I had to turn that annoying music off!
Steering wheel out of a Saturn. Lmao
What lift do you have?
Also wondering
Have you set an asking price?
How do you get away with the tinted windshield? I get pulled over in weeks in Oregon.
I don't always lol. Get pulled over once and while
