is it possible to...........

get a c320 sport but the only interior difference is get it with wood instead of aluminum. i dont mind the metal but the wife hates it, and its tru witha dark interiro the wood does look nice

but i cant buy the lux edition it looks such a bore from the outside. i need to sport body kit etc that comes with the sport sedan

thanks

get a sport sedan with wood trim option. that way you get the sport sedan looks, and the wood for your wide. i think for a sedan the wood option is $850. you can choose between charcoal cinnamora and burl walnut.

my last car (99 bmw 328i) had a wood trim interior, so I was glad that the c-class sports sedans came with aluminum trim interiors. I wanted a different look.

i too prefer the aluminium trim. though there are those who prefer wood. though i just checked my 2005 brochure, and it doesnt look like wood is an option for the sport sedans. though im sure you can piece it together if its a must have. wood is an option for the coupes and C55.

My last car had the "carbon fibre" (oh wait, "carbon optic") look...

I think that the AL trim is much better than that. I'm not feeling the wood on the w203's though--I'm not a big fan of the wood on the luxury models...

the interior pic of the 2005 C320 that edmunds.com tested got a wood trim and it could not have been a luxury model because it got a 6-speed (6-speed is only available on the sports sedan model). However, the cup holder looks different than the one in the 2005 model cars. I don't know what's up with that.

here is the pic from edmunds.com

yeah that cupholder looks like the 01-04 cupholder. im sure there is a way you can order the wood for the car. the pieces jsut swap out. im sure there is a way to get the wood. personally id stick with the alumimium. especially since they put the sweet looking alumimium in 2005.

But it also has the new 05 DIGITAL climate control and the "middle" elongated MFD--so it is an '05. WTF!? Why are there so many different interiors that we see? Why does the rest of the world have the digital climate control and we don't? I hate the rotary knobs with no lcd... My old 1997 w202 had a digital readout, this feels like a total step down (that's my biggest beef with my car).

'05 C230 coupe
yeah, it is a damn shame the '05s didn't have the digital climate ctrl as standard... it's supposed to be a running change through the MY, so I'm debating on retro'ing it later on

I like the cinnamora wood on my coupe, as it looks hot w/the charcoal leather ^_^ some Al trims look good, but I just don't care too much for MB's one
