2012 C63, leather only available in designo packages?

Can any of our German friends double check this and try and config a 2012 C63:

It looks like the only way to get leather on a 2012 C63 is if you pick a designo package?

"Microfiber DINAMICA / Leather ARTICO black, without extra charge"
Do so the basic interior is "Leather" now?

I just got done speaking with my dealer and it wouldnt let us update my order with "Upholstery: 221 Black Leather"
The ordering system said we have to pick a designo package.

This seems to be the case.

Microfaser DINAMICA/Ledernachbildung ARTICO schwarz

means

Micro fiber DINAMICA/faux leather ARTICO black

Side bolsters in black faux leather, seating area in micro fiber fabric.

After weeks of back and forth, here is the final order:

Shipment
ETA:

Vehicle
Model: C63

Vehicle Information
Ship Date:
MY:2012-1
Main Paint: 183 Magnetite Black Uph :221 Black Leather Factory: Germany

Optional Accessories
P31 AMG Development Package
S32 COMAND Launch Package
120 AMG illuminated Door Sills
218 Rear View Camera
290 designo Black Edition Interior
319 Lighting Package
471 Limited Slip Differential Lock
515 Media Interface Plus (MIP)
736 Black Ash Wood Trim
795 18" AMG Twin 5-Spoke Alloy Wheels
889 KEYLESS-GO

Status
Current Status: ***********
VPC: Los Angeles
Baumuster: ***********

To answer a couple of my own questions I posted earlier:

1. 320 Multimedia Package is gone - S32 COMAND Launch Package is the new navigation package. This is whats in the E class I am told...

2. 221 Black Leather is no longer available, as confirmed by others you need to order a designo package to get leather. From what I was told as this is only a designo interior package and not custom paint it does not push back the production date.

Of course the options have changed a few times in the last 60 days, so my order could be locked in and something else will change again.

As confirmed by others - reading the forum every day is not helping the wait it as it only adds to the obsessing.

Congrats Enoch, looks like an awesome build. I'm thinking about going Magnetite too. That or iridium. Also, I better go check and make sure I still have a rear view camera since it looks like it was separated from the multimedia package.

M3 - C63 blk/blk ordered
I have just ordered this to get leather seats. Can you confirm if they put leather on the dash also. I hope not being I am in Texas and will want to avoid a cracked dash.

Thanks
