Aluminum trim fake?

I heard someone said it was fake. I've touched it when it gets cold and it feels real.

It is real there is no fake trim in Mercedes. Audi and BMW used to place fake wood and aluminium (I don't know about the latest models but years ago they used to).

http://m.leftlanenews.com/new-car-bu...c-class-coupe/ Read where it talks about the interior. I had a 03 z4 with the aluminum trim and that definitely was real.

I can't believe it... it feels real and I tested it with a phone app called metal detector which showed it was metal... strange.

Here it is written that it is real: http://www.calabasasmbz.net/reviews/...walkaround.htm
