finally saw red seats in person

These seats are RED, lol. very bright red, not quite sure how I feel about them, I think maybe a shade or two darker would be preferable

anyone receive the seats in red yet?

I've seen the red seats/black ash combo in person - I think it looks awesome, but a bit "too much".

Carbon Fiber is the ONLY trim to get in this car. On the 2016's, MB has added a new trim called Silver Carbon Fiber. The picture is from a C450 & NOT from a C63.

I loved the classic red and black interior on my old C63 and would have loved the option of classic red or red pepper on my E63S over diamond white or matte white exterior. I am not a fan of the typical Mercedes color palate of boring blacks, silvers, and greys.

Bummer, because I think it looks pretty hawt - it's not quite as over-the-top as the red seats.

I must say it looks pretty good. Are there more options for the C63s as well JP.
Now that my order has turned yellow on Netstar how much time do I have to make changes?

What is the option code for the Silver Carbon Fiber? Is the original Carbon Fiber still available? Which would you prefer?

Is there an updated MY2016 order guide available reflecting this new option? I have version 1 and it is not an option in that one.

I'm a fan of the red pepper/black ash combo! Saw it on a polar white in the showroom and thought it looked great. It is a lot of red though...

OMG that's gorgeoooous !!

That is one interior I wouldn't mind sitting in lots and lots of traffic for hours !! The W205 is waaay ahead of it's competitors in regards to the segment's interior IMHO !?

Me too. That's why I ordered my car in polar white with red pepper / black ash. Oh and the night package and black rims

I think Black Ash is standard for you guys in the US looking at your MY2016 but it's a £200 option here which gets you the analog clock as well. Default trim is gloss black without the clock.

That how I have my order set up right now too except with the iridium silver. You're right about the black ash - no charge here. Didn't realize the clock isnt in all the trims - IWC fan so that's a plus! Issue I'm running into here though is with the black wheel constraint it would be lateish November for delivery, otherwise it's September. Not sure I want to wait a couple more months, might have to look for another option there. You're car is going to look incredible!

It's already built. This is a picture of it as it had just arrived at the dealers. Not picking it up until 1st Sept (Plate changes in the UK. Affects resale values) and because of building work going on next door to my house which should be done by then. It's making my current car filthy even without it moving.

This is a MY2016 by the way as that's from June builds here. One of the changes at least here is the air vents are black with a silver ring where as 2015 models are all silver.

Car hadn't been sorted by dealer yet. Still has all the covers, packaging but you can hopefully see what I mean on the air vents.

The biggest changes here for MY2016 are the driving assistance package which I've got. A lot of it changes from passive to active so for instance if the car thinks your going to collide changing lanes it doesn't just warn you, it brakes slightly the wheels on one side to pull you back into lane.

It will also automatically brake if your going to hit a person if going under a certain speed. I plan to test this by trying to run my brother over. Just remember if your a crime lord your going to want a MY2015 car.
