I'd say the burr walnut - it's a very nice contrast to the black interior. I've seen one in person at my dealership.

With an all black interior, Burl Walnut.

With the grey/black, I would get the black bird's eye.

They should of had this nice wood trim available on the '08 models to begin with, then you wouldn't get so many cheap interior complaints.

I agree. I've ordered Palladium Silver with black interior and black maple. I should be getting it in 2 weeks.

Check out this site. It's an Australian site, but lets you configure the car to the specification of your choice and I believe it is quite a "real" representation of what it actually looks like.

Especially with OP's interior/exterior color scheme.

I wish I could've ordered Black Bird's Eye Maple with my Sport. Aluminum is cool, but not as nice.

Hey guys, I'm picking up my 09 C300 tonight after work. I have to decide though between the aluminum trim and the burl walnut wood trim, they have both. I am getting a Black Exterior, Black Interior. I was wondering if you thought the wood was too odd against the black. I like the way the aluminum works, but it feels a bit cheaper than what I'm assuming the wood would be. Any thoughts?

Don't Recommend Burl Walnut with Grey/Black...

I think the general rule of thumb is if your car interior is Black/Black you will be pleased with either Burl Walnut (the traditional look) or the Black Birdseye Maple. The Burl walnut does not look quite right in the Grey/Black interior.

Attached is snapshot of my C350 with Grey/Black MB Tex and the standard Black Birdeye Maple.

Interior looks very sharp. I don't think they offer the black birdseye maple though in 300

white and whiter
bird's eye look better in black/black and grey/black. burl walnut looks best in almond/mocha trims.
