C32 interior-carbon fiber or not ??

After buying my C32 over a year ago, the salesman at the dealership told me my interior is real carbon fiber. Anyway, the other day I was in for service and I was speaking to the tech about my car and he told me that he wished that Mercedes put in real carbon fiber instead of what is in there. I told him that I thought it was carbon fiber and he said "nope." Can somebody shed some light on this question?

I dont have the answer to your question YET, but I want to find that out too. However, I will definitely believe what your tech said, I think only 10% of the things coming out from the mouth of ANY car salesman are "believable".

It feels nothing like carbon fiber, and it dents like a piece of aluminum. What does salesmen's mouth and butt hole have in common?

I believe you're right. Sadly to say, the textured aluminum in the 32 is exactly the same as the ones in 240/320 sports.

not likely if you're not yet on the waiting list already. as far as i know, the waiting list for the E55 and the CLK55 is very very long.
