New Carbon Steering Wheel For My S65 AMG
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2023
- Time for two upgrades for the S65 in today's video! One of them has been annoying me since I took delivery of the car so I'm glad it's being fixed! One mod for the exterior and one mod for the INTERIOR!

I like the new steering wheel, matches perfect with the interior. I just don't understand lowering the car it looked perfect the way it was.
True!
Content and preference
He knows how to ruin a great looking car
And when its Not made with Cheap metal Parts ( dont know the Name in englisch)and Not with sorftware it will destroy the airmatic 😂😂😂 the distronic dont work over the steering wheel and the Buttons are Not working because he had handels dir it Befund the Wheel and this is Not Plug and Play 😂😂😂je destroyed the value of the Car. in Germany it is Not possible to sell it because noone Would buy it !!!
Mike, great video showing the custom mods you've made to your S65 AMG. Love seeing your excitement having an AMG back in the house! AMG is your gig...mine too but I have an SLK55 AMG that I've tuned and done some customization.
A little recommendation for the future is to use a breaker bar, which provides more leverage. Using a rachet makes it absolutely difficult. Just in case you do this again in the future.
Let me have it
Or a power tool
had the same last weak, just puted a pipe on the ratchet
Lol, first thing I was thinking. When he showed the flash back to the drill I was like wtf? The drill attachment from his old video is probably more expensive than a simple breaker bar. 😆
@@TheStonerKoalahe actually did not use the correct socket size on the m5.
Keep a 2-3 ft pipe around. Best leverage tool, fits over your ratchet. The steering wheel looks great.
Glad you take the time to show us the process. Enjoy that beautiful machine 🙏🏾
Don’t worry it’ll be in shop soon for engine failure
That looks awesome. Some floor mats with the red piping from Lloydmats would set off the interior even more
I couldn't care less about wheel gap, but that new steering wheel is a very nice upgrade.
Hey Mike, the car looks amazing… I think all the interior needs now is a wireless carplay adapter plugged in. And those wheels need a 1” spacer, they need just a slight poke. Other than that, your car is straight gangsta
Just so you know, i'm literally clearing your Channel right now (watching every single video) and its been amazing, keep up dude i love your videos ❤️
Cool to see that small updates can do so big difference!
Coming together nicely Mike - a SOLID WHIP. an 18-inch "breaker bar" from Harbor Freight would help for the steering wheel I'm sure. Even with the difficulty of disconnecting the battery I don't think I'd risk it - just take the time. Having driven in the 'burg lots over the years in my F-150 I'd really want the extra travel in the suspension but to each his own. I'm not a huge AMG guy but have to admit that your ride is razor sharp!
Been watching from way back. Wife gave me a side eye when she heard the noises you made when you n finally loosened steering😂😂 keep up the good work buddy. Love the videos
Hey Mike little tip, invest in a 1/2 in drive breaker bar for getting those steering wheel bolts loose. It will make a huge difference!
Even a piece of small diameter steel pipe would work
I really didn't think the original steering wheeler was bad, but the new one sure makes a difference.....my aunt still has a 70s SL coupe, it's amazing how MB has still been able to keep that same heritage in their newer vehicles.
Cool modification ! I changed or rather my buddy changed the steering wheel on my 2018 F80 M3 Competition , carbon fibre and alcantara on the rim plus an LCD information screen that shows G Force , engine revs and a lot of other features plus of course the LED change up lights on the rim! This was a complex enough job not for the novice ! He did that 3 years ago very happy with it !
Thanks again for your time and sharing the link
I was not expecting this! What a beautiful stirring wheel
Autovlog Awesome Video I think your S65 AMGs New Steering wheel and Stance looks absolutely incredible and I can't wait to hear that FI exhaust
Saw this 26 seconds after you posted. Ofc I am watching asap!
My favorite mod of all the mods so far on the s65 amg is the steering wheel it looks beautiful. Perfect fit for the s65
Completely agree. This is the single best mod. Car has plenty of power - who are you going to race? A Tesla Plaid smokes all of these cars (0-60 in 2 seconds). Stock ride height is perfect. But that wheel is outstanding.
Beautiful steering wheel! Same one I had done for my E400 with napa leather designo ruby red seats and red set belts. Side perforated leather with red stitches. Only deference I had the steering wheel trim and paddle shifters also carbon fiber.
Man, that interior is incredible. Great car,brother, and well done on the upgrades. Love the fact you are making this car yours.
New sterling wheel looks ❤
It would be nice to see both cars rolling together more rs7 videos
What do your neighbors think off you with the flashy cars..
Love the videos sir.
This series reminds me of the good old days when you modified your C63s. Cant wait for the Fi Exhaust👊🔥
Love the new wheel looks so much better you had me dying watching you remove the hold down bolt!
You're spot on with the new steering wheel. Looks tight!!
Def see the paint color difference that people talked about @ 1:12
14:54, thanks for saving me Mike. Great video.
Had to unleash his inner viking to get that steering wheel off 😂
Ok Mike, that is the PERFECT wheel for that car. Perfection. No cheap Casio LCD screen and blingy rev lights this time lol
Outstanding! 👍🏼
NICELY DONE! Definitely an upgrade in appearance!
Loving that SICK new steering wheel addition bro!! Great accomplishment on getting it off as well👏👏
Great video. Nice slice of comedy mixed in there with the removal of the wheel 😁. Looks great.
I was with you on the steering wheel bolt. Nice job!!
Steering wheel looks great; such a huge upgrade in looks & driving experience.
Yes, this is the best steering wheel from MB! I love it!
I see a big shade difference on that quarter,love the car tho! Nice video
Everyone can see that, except Mike.
The right touch and home buttons usually control the centre/console screen in the newer models. Not sure why it’s controlling the instrument cluster too
Another good video quality Bro. Nice one.
Beautiful! Makes a HUGE difference in the interiors appearance . If I tried that swap, i'd probably end up eating an airbag for lunch.
Wow....!!!!! Looks so good Mike. I love it.
That is one sexy steering wheel, just seems to bring everything together. Fantastic choice.
Same thing happened to me with the bolt. Forget about the breaker bar. Apply some heat to the bolt to melt the factory locktite and it should be easy to turn. Nice looking car and steering wheel.
Such a STUNNING looking car! I can't believe I'm saying this, but I follow A LOT of automotive RUclips channels - pretty much all of the major ones that feature Super Cars or Hyper Cars, and yet this AMG S65 is somehow one of my top favorites. It's at least one of my favorites now, until you wrap it with whatever color you've decided to go with. I personally LOVE the silver paint with those gorgeous wheels.
The new steering wheel looks great, it goes with the car really well! For future references, get a long, small diameter pipe, something you can slip over your ratchet wrench and use it as a breaker bar. Man, I'm not even kidding... I'm about to go on a hunt for an S65 so I can duplicate your setup because I'm totally in love with your car!
I liked it better in the silver too. When he does the candy apple red wrap it makes the car look a little more "exotic", but I like mine to stay its badass stock color (Magnetite Black). That said, my stock steering wheel did the same thing (nubs all worn off the alcantara portion) and I love his aftermarket solution - I will be doing that.
After explaining why you didn’t unplug the battery and you were popping the airbag back in I was waiting for you to put a cut scene meme of an explosion. Missed opportunity 😂 😅
Your steering wheel mods are pretty awesome. 👍👍
Where have you been..? I thought you got out of the game. Good to see ya rock with the Mercedes again..
That feeling in your hand with a steering wheel with extra girth is just awesome. Girth matters
Dang I can't believe you got this car the youtube world don't really know about it, it's good to see you and benzman holding it down for the s coupe content, he lowered his as well with lowering links, the big body benz coupe is rare in the auto world
Looking good bro the new steering wheel😎💪💯🔥 greetings from the netherlands
Great modes. Love this car more and more
Its a really nice looking car, the rims are growing on me too, I know what I said they felt a bit like BMW/Volkswagen/Volvo, but I do think this car as coupé would be even nicer. It has the shape of it too, but I'm swedish so I am drawn to something not sedan! ;-) Keep it up Mike! Hälsningar från Göteborg!
Really sets off the interior. ❤Had me cracking up taking off that center bolt😅
That looks so much better. Nice upgrade!
I love what you are doing to this beauty!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Looks amazing. It totally matches the brightness of the interior now. Congrats bro.
One thing you never mention is how much the steering wheels cost it would be good to know if poss, but it defo looks awsome brother 👌
Minimum a thousand and few hundred to have them installed
Love the new steering wheel the car looks great keep the videos coming
The perforated leather on the steering wheel is great it adds more grip just like in the RS7
Haven't been on this channel since the C63. Finally an AMG is back!😄
Beautiful car bro. It’s coming together really well
Next purchase. Some proper tools. You’re using bob the builder tools man.
💀💀💀
Now that’s a good looking ride 🎉congratulations
I'll admit, that is the best feeling ever getting that damn bolt out lol.
Nice work, now time for a cold one 👍🏿
Great video lowered & new steering wheel all looks great! If you don’t have CarPlay, should do a video installing CarPlay 😀
Good video as always
Looks amazing, I'm still iffy on the rims lol, I wish they were matte black. But either way it's a monster!! 🔥🔥
Yeah Mike steering wheel looks tight. Still think you should go with darker wheels know that you've lowered it. Will set the brake calibers staout more.
Nice video keep up the good work fella
Amazing upgrade!!!
I can vouch for CKM too, I came to you asking for a steering wheel for my C63s and ended buying several accessories I could not find anywhere else.
Stance was perfect before you lowered it!
BTW was the driver's side rear quarter panel repainted - looks a shade off at 1:16
its been discussed and 1/4 panels are only in the rear.
The best mode ever done in this channel
Loving this build! Let’s go!
Mike, love when you do a dance song mix fade into the middle of the vid! 🔥🔥🔥
I love how the website use this video to show how to fit the steering wheel in the website when I get my s63 cabriolet all these videos am watching at least I have a reference as to what to do when my day comes to get the car
Man that is a nice car! All I have is a 07 E-350! Nothing like that. Love that Red!
Put some padding on that metal pole in your garage. I cringe evertime you open the doors😬
Fantastic video Mike!😸
Gorgeous car 🤩🤩 i love it and this steering wheel is the best for Mercedes better than the new one
Ooosshhh those wheels look like curb magnets, good look my friend
Love the new wheel. You sound like me working on my cars. Lol.
Awesome steering wheel upgrade!It's just too bad the cruise control feature from the stalk couldn't be programmed on it. Looks wise... hot-damn!
get the face lift slotted grill!! goes really well with the car!
I'm with you on lowing the car!! Nice!! The steering wheel was a very nice upgrade too!! Watching you remove the steering wheel took me back to changing out a steering wheel on my truck back in the early 90's. Things we do to customize our cars... Love the content on your channel Bro!! Keep up the good work. That made me laugh so hard!!! Back in The Gym!!!! lol
Steering wheel looks perfect Mike!
The right control work s the middle screen in the newer models
Thumbs up if Mike should buy that Final Edition C63. Bonus points for a FI Exhaust!
insane car & wheels, congrats
You got me ! I am not a Mercedes lover, but this S-Class is for an Autoshow
Watching your videos gives me drive to one day own a nice car!
You really should be a style consultant for Mercedes dude! Your taste is right-on impecable!!!!!
Dang bro. Best aftermarket steering wheel matchup ever. Literally ever.
Thanks for the great video! I may have missed it but where did you get the ghost lowering springs? Thanks! 🐜
Really nice car, congratulations!!
Looks so much better,congrats on doing a upgrade all by ur self 😅
Cant wait till you get the exhaust i know it will sound amazing . Are you goung to put a wrap on the s65
